ESPN Needs to Let Go of Johnny Manziel

Print this article

Ever since the Browns released quarterback Johnny Manziel back in March (stating off-field concerns, which is ironic because, yanno, Josh Gordon is still on the roster), rumblings about whether or not he’d ever see the NFL field again started to pop up. Rumblings turned to legit questions. Those questions turned to concerns. And thanks to Manziel’s party-hard mentality, it now appears his time in the league is over (I appreciate the NFL’s 4-game ban, but yeah… it’s done).

And yet, despite the former-Factory of Sadness fan favorite fizzling out like a dud firework, it seems like the behemoth 4-letter network keeps hanging on to Manziel like a stage-5 clinger, or that ex who keeps stalking your social media profiles under fake accounts because you blocked their main account, then runs to gossip to all of their friends (we all know somebody).
