I don't hate the kid but this made me look at him like a spoiled brat. I was thinking is this dude fricking serious right now. Don't complain about being in the spotlight when you go out of your way to make sure you're in the spotlight.

Oh, crap. I completely forgot about the "walk a mile in my shoes" bullshite. He caught hell for that as he should have. You're correct - that definitely made him look like a spoiled brat, and maybe he is. I STILL say, though, that Twitter is going to make idiots out of a lot of people in the next few years not named Johnny Manziel. Imagine for a moment that there was no Twitter. Does "walk a mile in my shoes" ever become public? I don't think it does. Or imagine that Twitter DID exist in Joe Namath's days... can you imagine that?

JFF has said some stupid stuff, no doubt. But almost all of it I can see myself doing the same stupid stuff when I was in school. Or anybody else, for that matter. People of all ages need to learn to STFU, in my opinion.
