Since there's a new thread

I wouldn't be surprised to see the Manziel's release a statement today about the article considering they can't be thrilled with the way they came across in it.

It's funny how the media can, over time, seriously shape people's opinions about someone even when the public knows the media is doing it. The fact that he couldn't speak to the media freshman year has only accelerated the process.

He's been built up, and now he's being torn down. I almost feel bad for him.

This is all you need to know about Manziel:

"Tuesday night in College Station, in the aftermath of the tweet, he was supposed to watch Game 6 of the NBA Finals at a local restaurant named Chimy's. The game started, and he stayed at home. His personal assistant, high school buddy Nate Finch, known to all as Uncle Nate, called a visiting reporter to explain."

Can we just get a johnny hangover board so all of these threads can live there and not clutter up the rant?

Cliff Notes:

Johnny's life is toxic in College Station, e has to get away from time to time.


He has a bad temper, breaks phones all the time and swears like you'd expect.

His Mercedes was bought buy his dad with the families oil money. He didn't want him doing anything stupid to get his dream car. The car got keyed.

The tweet he sent out is because the cops "harassed him about an illegal parking job outside his house. The cops knocked on his door and woke him and his roommates up over it.

"While Johnny created this new reality -- which offers many seductive pleasures he's grown to love -- the new reality is now in charge. Everything he does is influenced by it. Funny, to wake up one day and be a marionette in your own life."

""I'm tired of people," he tells his aunt, "in the worst way. I love you, and I'm sorry for saying that. But I am so tired of people."

The kid is very overwhelmed with his lifestyle but it is self inflicted. He is mentally a very week kid, seems unstable.

Johnny has anger issues due to him bottling up his homosexual urges and not being true to himself... Basically, he's just like every other 20 year old male that attends aTm.

I think some of the stuff in the artcile relates to what TM7 went through as well.

I hope he keeps himself together and never hits rock bottom.

Johnny has a personal assistant? Wow.

Maybe his parents should have taught him a little humility. Why does he have so much anger? I have no sympathy for that kid.

It is the normal cycle. It is what people do. Over and over. Build someone up and up to the point where general jealousy and insecurity sets in, then attempt to tear person down so the person doing the tearing down doesn't feel so jealous and bad about themselves.

Has less to do with JFF and more to do with how people react and jealousy in general.
