Johnny Manziel has only been a member of the Browns for a little over a week, but we have already seen some great journalists create some really intelligent narratives. There are going to be some Pulitzers won by the people who cover this guy, I can just tell.5. Manziel is going to be the backup quarterback because the owner said so in May. Also, Cleveland (which is a city in Ohio) is apparently not the same place as Hollywood (which is in California).
4. After one of the most important days of his life, 21-year-old Manziel celebrated by drinking champagne. I can't believe this. Champagne is French. They don't even have football in France. Or at least not the right kind of football.
3. Jimmy Haslam told a silly anecdote about a homeless man saying the team should draft Manziel. Then, Haslam told Ray Farmer to disregard all of the scouting reports because the homeless guy gets to decide.
2. The Browns denied the New York Post's request for a media credential to cover rookie minicamp. How dare the Browns deny a credential to the most esteemed newspaper in the world that was just trying to cover the rookie minicamp of a team 500 miles away that they usually ignore?
1. Manziel sent a text message to Cleveland's QB coach during the draft. Forget the homeless man. This text message sealed the deal. If it had been a suggestive Snapchat, the Browns probably would have just gone ahead and selected him fourth overall.
Did I forget anything?
Haha, fantastic summary Mike. This has been just absurd.
