I just admire the scumbags honesty and would love to have lived 1 day as him.

I guess the NCAA can't strip them of anything considering they didn't accomplish much with the exception of beating Bama. Unfortunately for Johnny, he never could beat LSU

Love the retiree ID card. Now if I could just get DEERS to re-instate my eligibility for TRICARE so I can enroll as a retiree life would be good.


Remember you have to pay for it now.

It took about 3 months for them to get it right for us.

I feel certain - every major program cheats. When a rival school gets caught we should make fun of them for not being smart enough to hide it - not call them cheaters.

But seriously - I hate it when another SEC school starts getting in a little hot water- just have to think NCAA has same mentality as IRS- get one thing to look at, and they gonna look at everything. In long run, any sec school getting investigated is bad for all.

And Fook any big 10 or whoever homer who claims their cherished program doesn’t cheat. I wonder how much cheating goes on that NCAA totally knows about and let’s go. Be the best way to Fook the NCAA - call them out on their bullshite.

"Scumbag's honesty"? He lied his arse off as he denied over & over again that he had sold his autograph.There were specific allegations & he denied them all. At the risk of throwing him teammates under the bus, as had he gotten caught he would have been suspended & their season would have been lost. For what? He comes from a rich family & was not a poor player struggling to get by.Nothing but a selfish druggie.

This is all already known. Darren Rovell in particular went after this story hard in the 2013 offseason and the NCAA started an investigation. But nothing could be proven because Manziel isnt going to say anything and the memorabilia guys weren't going to say anything. In addition, I'm not 100% sure the NCAA really would have wanted it to go anywhere. They gave Manziel a slap on the wrist (sit out for 1 half against Rice) and then went away whistling. The reality is that at the same time authenticated Johnny Manziel signed merchandise was all over ebay, Jadaveon Clowney, and Marcus Lattimore and Marqise Lee, and Teddy Bridgewater authenticated signed merchandise was also all over it. Of course all those schools were "unaware of any violations" just like A&M was, but certainly all of those players got paid for autographs too. Probably most of the all star players going into every single season of college football do. You can probably find hundreds of listing for autgraphed JT Daniels merch right now...I'm sure they were all signed just for charity or something.

I bought an LSU helmet signed by a former player at a silent auction years ago. He signed the helmet after he went pro and it came with a "Certificate of Authenticity" which had a picture of him signing it. I'm assuming the ebay merch didn't come with anything similar.

Tracking. I was ready to select my TRICARE plan.

And they said I was not eligible for TRICARE.

I think it depends on where you live.

We're still eligible for Prime because of our coverage area. We didn't even need to change my wife's PCM. In fact, I can now use hers.

BIG difference between having to drive to Madigan vs. going to the clinic that's a 5 mile drive.

With NIL open season after July 1, it's all a moot point. But Johnny Football is one tone-deaf dude. In life, there are always degrees of stupid and that guy is pushing the limits of credibility

He contradicts himself constantly when he goes on podcasts and does interviews. He always says he regrets not taking things more seriously and focusing more on football and feels bad about how he acted in Cleveland when guys like Joe Thomas were there just working their arse off for a shitty team for over a decade then 10 seconds later he will say all that is who he is so he doesn’t regret anything at all and is sorry for nothing. It makes no sense

Y’all got so much shite over that because of the steadfast denial and holier than thou attitude when everyone started suspecting it and Freeze himself making that antagonizing tweet. Not to mention going from cellar dwellers and then becoming one of the most obnoxious fanbases in the country when y’all had the slightest bit of success. It was so sweet and hilarious when all that came out.

They had no problem going after AJ Green and Todd Gurley and giving them 4 game suspensions and both were marque players at the time.

Nah. They literally went into DEERS and said I was not eligible to use TRICARE. It is a SNAFU that I am getting resolved. Just so difficult to complete the transition to retirement. Still do not want to go back (don’t even ask for a retiree recall).
