Manziel Tweets
Jan 23, 2017
Johnny Manziel deleted his Twitter account on Monday, shortly after he tweeted advice to President Donald Trump on using the social media platform. "Yo, POTUS even I know to stay away from the notifications section on twitter. S--- will drive you crazy, lead the country and let them hate," Manziel tweeted Monday afternoon, followed by a tweet that read: "Control what you can control and let the rest fall by the wayside." The tweets quickly went viral and even got a stamp of approval from former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer. Follow Ari Fleischer ✔ @AriFleischer When you're right, you're right. Johnny Manziel is right. (I can't believe i said that.) https://twitter.com/jmanziel2/status/823614425621876736 … It is not known if the removal of Manziel's account was related to his tweets to President Trump. "He told me [Twitter is] not a priority and he's trying to eliminate distractions," Manziel spokesperson Denise Michaels told ESPN. Manziel's Instagram and Snapchat accounts were both still active Monday. He sent a message to ESPN's Ed Werder late last week, saying he has achieved sobriety without professional assistance and is determined to resume his career in the NFL. One day earlier, the former Cleveland Browns quarterback tweeted that he is trying to be a better person and thanked those who helped him during a "rough" 2016. EDITOR'S PICKS Manziel says he's sober, wants to return to NFL One day after thanking those who helped him during a "rough" 2016, Johnny Manziel told ESPN he has achieved sobriety without professional help and is determined to resume his NFL career. Manziel, 24, is scheduled to make his first announced promotional appearance since leaving the NFL. He will sign autographs in two memorabilia shops at Texas malls during Super Bowl week. Manziel, whom the Browns selected with the 22nd pick in the 2014 NFL draft, spent 10 weeks in rehab after his rookie season. He was released by the Browns last March and was suspended for the first four games of the 2016 season for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. He reached an agreement last month with the Dallas County district attorney's office to have domestic violence charges dropped if he meets certain conditions throughout the year. He was accused of hitting and threatening his former girlfriend during a night out last January. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler contributed to this report |

You don't HAVE to have professional help to realize you did wrong and correct it. Although in the realm of where he is as a professional athlete he WILL need a support group.A good locker room and coaching staff can provide that . |

Do you think a good coaching staff would have kept him straight. What if he went to New England ? |

It would be interesting to find out from him what his definition of sobriety means. Dollars to donuts he is cheating. |

It wasn't the Browns coaching staff IMHO. From my understanding the coaching staff saw this kid's immaturity and demons a mile away and didn't want him, conversely this was purely a new owner pick for marketing purposes and the owner paid the price for ignoring massive red flags. Think the coaching staff was excited to work with Manziel ? Only to a point because they knew already. Look at Randy Gregory(high 2nd rd pick) for Dallas. Jones ignored the red flags and has paid a price. Leveon Bell 2yrs in a row starting out the season on suspension, Josh Gordon, Martavious Bryant these guys still don't get it.

If there are 2 things that Bellicheck learned from Parcells was that "character" and "true love for the game" always trumps talent and why you see very disciplined, well coached Bellichek teams year after year. A Hernandez was an exception to the rule because he was "that sociopathic" and even the best get fooled from time to time. No way Bellichek would draft or try to attempt to help Johnny because Bellichek knows the ol rule of "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink". So why did Bill take a chance on Moss ? Moss was different because despite all of Moss's antics Bellichek recognized in him that there was a chance of redemption for Randy because Randy loved the game and wanted to be a champion but was frustrated. Don't get me wrong, I assure you Bellicheck read him the right act (Patriot Way) behind closed doors and it wasn't until Randy came to NE that he finally learned what "team" was all about.

Why is this news? Why is anyone concerned about a drunk kid's thoughts about how social media is involved in the presidency? Sometimes I'm really amazed at the things that people want to talk about these days.
