Johnny Middle Finger?! What a great way to start your career in the NFL, SMH. A fine is definitely headed towards Johnny Manziel’s way after he was caught on camera during Monday Night Football flipping off the Redskins bench. The Browns lost 24-23 in the super hyped preseason game.
Someone better talk to this kid ASAP. Check out what happened along with reactions and Johnny Football commenting after the game…
Via ESPN:
Manziel said he had “words exchanged” with the Redskins and that he should have been smarter.
“I felt like I did a good job of holding my composure throughout the night, and you have a lapse of judgment and slip up,” Manziel said.
“I should have been smarter,” Manziel said. “The cameras were solidly on me. I need to be smarter about that.”
Asked in his postgame news conference if he thought it was wrong, Manziel smiled before laughing.
“I mean, I didn’t think it was positive,” Manziel said, before adding he couldn’t blame it on distractions, repeating he had simply lost his composure.
…
“It did not sit well,” Browns coach Mike Pettine said. “I was informed of it after the game and it’s disappointing. Because what we talk about is being poised and being focused — that you have to be able to maintain your poise.”“That’s a big part of all football players, especially the quarterback, that we have to keep our composure,” Pettine said. “So that’s something that we’ll obviously address with him.”
…
Brian Hoyer, who is competing with Manziel for the starting quarterback job, didn’t seem impressed by the gesture.
“You’ve got to know the cameras are always on you,” Hoyer said.
