The MNF pre-game show just had a big feature about Johnny's latest mess up. I'm so tired of hearing about it.

Number of times ESPN shows Manziel standing on the sideline tonight with a clipboard: I say 8.

Listening to game on Browns local radio (I'm in Toledo area this evening). Pretty long and boring topic of conversation all pregame.

ESPN must have really been worried about those truth in advertising laws or something.

I had to think of you guys as former-49er TE Brent Jones said on the radio today that he should no longer be 'Johnny Football' and instead he should be called 'Johnny Tequila'...

Just when you thought the Browns QB situation was settling down....
POSTED BY ROTOWIRE STAFF

Josh McCown QB | CLE

Browns quarterback Josh McCown (broken collarbone) will not play again this season, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
The news was confirmed by Browns head coach Mike Pettine, who chose not to disclose whether Austin Davis or Johnny Manziel will be the replacement. Davis filled in capably during the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Ravens, but he doesn't offer much in the way of long-term upside. On the other hand, Manziel has made major strides since last season, but his recent off-field controversy led Pettine to drop him from first to third on the depth chart.

Unfortunately Johnny Bench is already taken. :grin: Undrafted Austin Davis to start vs Bengals Sunday.

I just bought Browns tickets for the first time in I can't remember. Not because Manziel is starting, but because of the cost.

The tickets have a face value of $55 and I got them for $15. Crazy. This team is slowly circling the drain.

The weather is supposed to be unseasonably beautiful 66 freaking degrees and $15 is a hell of a deal, even if the Browns do suck. And they do.

Kevin, I have to ask: how did you score those $15 tickets? I don't suppose that deal is still available ...?

Plenty more tickets left at $15 or even less. I saw $6 on Monday.

You should do a PEBA meet up.

If you wait long enough, they'll pay you to attend their games.

They should include weekly grief counseling with the season ticket packages.

If dude isn't smart enough to ask all his friends to check their cellphones at the door, it's hard to feel sorry for him.

I don't see how anything in that video is in anyway damaging to him or the Browns. What exactly is he doing wrong in it?
