STRICTLY a one trick pony. Let Manziel tweak an ankle and they're a three loss team

So...you're saying the same team that lost 3 games last year is a one trick pony if they only loose 3 this year without Johnny?

This guy is not an aggie

There's a lot of dumbass in that statement :rotflmao:

I assure you the A&M posters on this thread explaining the situation are not college students and most definately know what they are talking about.....

However, how can any person no matter their education, experience and technical knowledge hope to compete with the awe inspirig wisdom of.....ahhh that's douche, what a douche I hate him.

One day when I grow up I hope I can spout wisdom like that!

Based on the rant today....

1) JFF beating Cam's record

2) ATM arse raping Auburn at their place

3) everything else...

What does JFF do that pisses everyone off so bad?

He's living life...he's great at what he does and the coverage of him isnt about him working all the time, or his faith or something like that...so insecure and unhappy people tend to look at that and get really pissed off

as long as HE isn't profiting off his likeness, then there are no eligibilty issues

Now, Unfortunately players in the NCAA do not get paid royalties when their numbers and names are sold for millions. How many #3 alabama jersey's were sold simply because Trent Richardson was a beast (which he worked his arse off for) yet never received a red cent for. That's the real problem.

However, in this case, Manziel doesn't want to play by the rules that everyone else has (who can blame him) and now he's suing over a nickname. Perhaps something good can come from this but the way he is handling his fame is prickish at best.

Dude you seriously do not know what your talking about.....Players names do not get sold, the only replica of individual players which can be sold is their number, i.e. replica jerseys and the video game example. Maybe you dont understand the full extent as to why he is doing this because a lot of the merchandise being produced is mainly in Texas...but there are tons of products that have been and are being produced that are not legal from several standpoints. They not only replicate the Johnny Football nickname, which the Manziel family is in the process of claiming, but Johnny's first and last name, likeness, etc.

The bylaws of the NCAA absolutely state if that if businesses (I'm not talking about the schools) profit from certain likeness of individual athlete they will lose their eligability. It is up to that individual, themselves, to prevent this from happening.

I have already seen lots of things, that if someone wanted to be a dick about it, could rule him ineligable. However, since he is proactively defending it he is on the up and up.

So point being you people are saying he's a douche because he's not letting some people sell things off his likness and I'm telling you that its a huge issue, recognized by the school in the fall.

Some of you people are really bitter little nerds.

This trademark stuff began in the fall because if Johnny and his family do not stop people from selling and profiting off his likeness it will result in serious eligibility issues for him.

HE HAS NO CHOICE but to do this if he wishes to continue playing ball. Does anyone really think JFF is going to become rich from some damages from a guy selling a few t-shirts online? Hell no, he will most likely never see a dime, however a ruling in his favor will establish a precedent in his favor and stop everyone and their dog from trying to make money off him and his name.
