All the hard working athletes out there and you want this douche to succeed?

When did you get your degree from A&M? J/k

Are people really so dumb that they think anyone who uses alcohol or drugs recreationally is an addict? Good god, people. Get a grip.

What, none of y'all's family own an oil franchise? This kid could've retired from football after college and still had more money than most NFL players. He was raised with no limits. It's not gonna stop. We just need to stop caring about it and watch Connor Shaw rise to the top.

Johnny Football won the ****ing Heisman trophy, was drafted in the first round, but got drunk during offseason, and didn't get a girl pregnant.

In the contest b/t Connor Shaw and JFF over the last 24 months: Winner...Johnny ****ing football.

Safe to say he was a big deal in Indy? You can even consider Bortles I guess, since he was taken this year in the top 3, 19 spots before Johnny.

The point was pretty simple, there are several other guys who are loaded after going into the league and very recognizable, yet these stories aren't floating around about them.

I've seen Andrew Luck pretty drunk out at Houston bars a couple of times.

Truth is a lot of kids in their early 20s get drunk and do things like drugs (OMG, addicts!). The world wouldn't be nearly as fun without trying different things.

The guy is a moron because he said something you didn't agree with? A little immature, don't you think?

If you are referring to me, try reading some more about him before you so badly miss the point:

They're (Manziel's parents) concerned. Paul thinks Johnny drinks to deal with the stress. After his arrest, Johnny's parents and Sumlin mandated he visit an alcohol counselor; Johnny saw him six or seven weeks during the season. About the only place they still see the real him is on the football field. Mostly what they see is the emotional byproduct of whatever is chewing him up inside. "I don't know where the anger comes from," Paul says. "I don't think he knows. If it comes from his drinking, or if he's mad at himself for not being a better person when he fails, when he fails God and his mom and me. If it makes him angry that he's got demons in him. You can only speculate because you can't go in there."]

Are his own parents good enough sources for you guys? He was mandated to see a counsellor for his alcohol use, meaning he has had problems with it before to the point the team required specialized care. Did any of you read this before you just chalked it up to boys being boys? If not, do your homework then come back to the conversation.

His dad worries about getting a midnight phone call his son is in jail and some of you can only say Johnny F---ing Football. So he drinks to deal with the pressure of A&M, I am sure there won't be ANY pressure in the NFL right? It cant compare with College Station right? Those comparing him to Connor, that's just sad. Connors parents don't worry about their kid being in jail, how does that score for Johnny F---ing Football?

It was with this article in mind I made all my posts. Believe what you want, I think the kid is in for a serious crash if he doesn't get help.

[Hoodrow Wilson]

Oh no, he's out partying!

Remember when he did this in college? All he did was win a Heisman trophy.

In all fairness we have no idea if Manziel got anyone pregnant.

i am sorry but i just cannot feel sorry for someone who God has given so much talent to that chooses to ruin his life. let him party as much as he wants. wise people have tried to right this ship and he scoffed at them. if he bombs out...too bad. there are too many good kids out there busting their butts who understand that they are blessed with the talent only God could give them to play the game they love. connor is no saint. he knows that but he is making the best of his situation. he is not going to squander it on foolishness.

JFF gets drunk and parties? Ohhh sinner!!

Connor knocked up his GF? That's OK, we all know he's a fine, hard-working young man.

A lot of folks need to take off their garnet glasses.

And a lot of people dont think comparing Connor getting his long-time, committed gf (fiance, now wife) pregnant to JFF's partying, assumed cocaine use, different-girl-every-weekend, borderline alcoholism (based on the article written about a year ago with quotes from his family that paint that picture) would be a fair comparison.

I'm one of those people.
