Dear Aggies: "We’ve been there before and we feel your pain."

We’ve been there before and we feel your pain.

At the forefront of the Manziel hysteria there’s Joe “No Sources” Schad, whose (lack of) reporting accuracy eventually earned him an admonishment from ESPN. Schad’s record of quality reporting is suspect at best.

Hot on his heels is Selena “Please Look At Me, I’m Desperate” Roberts, who crashed and burned from the New York Times to a barely coherent blog cooked up with her dog on her back porch. Despite a string of epic reporting failures, ESPN brought this hack on board to comment on the Manziel investigation.

And then there’s Alabama-bred lawyer John “Photoshop” Phillips, he of the doctored defamatory-toward-Auburn videos who is attempting to broker the sale of photos that allegedly show Manziel signing autographs.

Note: Phillips apparently does not have access to any of the treasure trove of T-Town Menswear jersey/helmet/glove/photo signing images floating around the Internet.

Who’s next to gig the Aggies with pitchforks and torches? Will Scott Moore emerge from his involuntary isolation to offer tapes? Has Danny Sheridan risen from his coffin to have tea and crumpets with Manziel’s Aggie bag man?

How long before the Internet underworld boils with “As the Aggies Gag” websites? At what point will Catfishes and other slimy creatures organize hush-puppy dinners to display convoluted flow charts detailing the sordid history of Texas A&M and its ties to the Mexican drug cartels? Does Andrea Kremer have an expose into Aggie culture in the works?

Forgive us, Aggie fans. We’ve seen all this before.
