Hapless Bills Fan Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 http://www.sportingnews.com/nfl/story/2015-05-31/johnny-manziel-harassed-by-fan-golf-tournament-texas-byron-nelson-classic Was it a duck, or a tight spiral? Once a little punk....always. How about just being mature enough to ignore hecklers? Too much to ask apparently. If he wants to play with the Big Boys, that's one of the Big Boy rules. Because the way the opposing D sees it (and home fans of opponents, too), if some random-ass fan heckling at a non-football event can get under his skin and provoke him to lose his cool, Boy Howdy he's gonna be a pigeon for the plucking come Sunday.

Canadian Bills Fan Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Funny how the guy said "nice throw" when the bottle missed him lol CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papazoid Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Johnny will have more years on an NFL roster in his career than EJ will. it'll be close...but my money is on EJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkAF43 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Not saying I'm defending JM on this, but if he already responded to the guy, told him no and the guy grabbed him by the arm and then kept harassing him, I find it hard to not expect this reaction from most people. It isn't like he randomly threw the bottle at a fan, the fan continued to egg him on and wouldn't let it go. Could he have handled it differently? Probably, but at the same time he didn't assault the guy, so I don't really have an issue with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 How does one become a "magnet for douchebags?" GO BILLS!!! Erm, maybe by being a douchebag oneself? You know, like to like? It certainly doesn't go by the rule "opposites attract" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris heff Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Johnny was cranky. I think he just needed a nap Was it just me, or should Johnny Football have sent a thank you note to Kyle for just shoving him? He could have killed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really clear on the legal status in all states, but I'm pretty sure throwing an object at someone may count as an assault, even if you miss. Just food for thought, should you ever be tempted to do something yourself that you "don't really have an issue with" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountDorkula Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 So I dislike Manziel also, but he was basically stalked and harassed by someone. I don't really blame him This is such a non story, but this is the issue with Manziel. Any little story is going to be full blown over coverage lead story on ESPN. He was in a lose, lose in this one.

Basically .... you maintain professionalism, which I realize is difficult for Manziel, since he's not been professional a day in his life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkAF43 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 insert Incognito and take out Manziel. I'm guessing people's take on this has now changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manther Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 This is a great story. I love how one of the reported insults was: "Ryan tanehill is better than you." What he should have taunted him with was "you squat when you pee"! I yelled that to Mike Cameron once in Safeco Field in Seattle. He turned around and gave me the finger!

YoloinOhio Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 The biggest thing I take from it is he has a very short fuse and can't take heckling. If he does this here, what will he do when opposing fans heckle him during a game? Actually, we saw that last year when he flipped off Redskin fans who were heckling him mid-game. That said, I don't think it matters. He won't play unless mccown gets hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalo2218 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Manziel's only chance to play football and have anything resembling a career in football is maybe the Arena League.

That was actually the Redskins bench he was flipping off, but yeah, at the same time if he can't handle being heckled by anyone, he'll never amount to much of anything anywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chandler#81 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Was if a full bottle, or partially "deflated?" Partially deflated. More importantly, he MISSED a wide open guy at short range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manther Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) Johnny will have more years on an NFL roster in his career than EJ will. FALSE! And, that is not for being a EJ fan. But, for truly believing Maziel will have himself out of the NFL rather quickly for his lack of being a Pro Football QB AND his skill level.

FireChan Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 You let someone else handle it. You be a big boy and don't throw things at people. Basically .... you maintain professionalism, which I realize is difficult for Manziel, since he's not been professional a day in his life. And if someone in his entourage "handled it," we'd hear that story too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
