Cleveland media old timer Tony Rizzo says he has five sources who say Johnny Manziel was “absolutely, positively” in Las Vegas Saturday night. Rizzo also says that Manziel showed up to the Browns training facility last week “disheveled and inebriated.” And all of this was after what now looks like an “I’ll do whatever it takes to get out of here,” Christmas Four Loko video from Manziel.
The GM is gone. The coach is gone. The owner has handed his franchise to a guy, Sashi Brown, who has about three years of football experience when he isn’t serving as legal counsel (the guy also owns a jazz club). And the owner will let the new head coach come up with candidates for the next GM.
Guess how the fans in Cleveland are reacting to all of this: they’re pissed and Manziel jerseys are going into the garbage. It’s all over. It’s never happening in Cleveland. The two year soap opera is done. The #2 jerseys are about to be modified.

Peter King went all-in on Manziel this morning, writing that there are likely 25 teams who wouldn’t touch him on the waiver wire. Pete tweeted: “Browns are so done with the guy. I will be stunned if he ever plays another snap for Cleveland. He wants to go to Dallas.” Didn’t take an NFL insider to know that.
Hell, I’ve been saying that for months.
