We’re now three years removed from the Halloween weekend of 2012 when Johnny Manziel was a breakout star Texas A&M quarterback who just beat Auburn 63-21 on the road and he showed up to a College Station bar in a Scooby costume. There were photos of Johnny with girls in lingerie and the rest is history. He went from a relative unknown off the field to instant college hero who would beat Alabama on the road two weeks later and the legend had been created.
You know the rest of the story.
But here we are three years later and Manziel, who turns 23 on December 6, is a couple weeks removed from an incident with his drunk girlfriend on the side of an Ohio road and he’s being thrown in on a Thursday night to face the 7-0 Bengals – on the road. The fun ended long ago when he was destroying record books and partying with A-list stars. And it sucks.
Sports were better when Manziel was tearing up bars from Cabo to Cleveland. The Internet was better when Manziel was partying in Vegas one night, on a Houston rooftop while sprawled on an inflatable swan the next night.
Never forget the good times.
Best Of Fun Johnny Manziel
