Wasn't it on the Rodgers fumble that was returned for the winning TD?

yup - It was a facemask IIRC.

[mraynrand]

Except that several have been when both players were shoving, and Jones was simply the stronger. Good time for a no-call in my opinion. Another (the negated TD throw, as I recall) was simply a great acting job. The DB got caught sort of flat footed and off balance, so he reached out for Jones arm. Jones barely waved at the Db, and the DB fell to the ground with his arms and legs flailing. I thought I was watching soccer.

I hadn't heard that but there is a report that he was seen in Vegas during his concussion protocol.

Purely a rumor, although he took a bunch of shots Sunday. That guy has no shot for long term success. He's gonna get killed.

From PFT:

Johnny Manziel’s exit from Cleveland may have been sealed by a failure to show up.

Peter King of TheMMQB.com reported on NBC’s Football Night in America that Manziel failed to show up on Sunday morning, as the team requires for players in the concussion protocol. Manziel didn’t show up for the 9:00 a.m. ET meeting with a member of the franchise’s medical staff.

According to King, the Browns tried to reach Manziel by phone, but couldn’t.

Via multiple reports, owner Jimmy Haslam has confirmed that Manziel didn’t show up at the facility on Sunday.

With the Browns now looking for a new coach, they may not make any decisions about Manziel in the near future. With their roster locked until the day after the Super Bowl, the Browns couldn’t cut Manziel for the next five weeks, even if they wanted to.

I hadn't heard that but there is a report that he was seen in Vegas during his concussion protocol.

It was reported by ESPN Cleveland writer Tony Grossi. Said he was drunk and disheveled when he showed up Wed.

That poor fellow needs some serious help.

[Fritz]

Don't enable him. Cut him as soon as you can. He's lost.

Bus Cook. Bus is the Scott Boras of retirement as leverage.

Cleaned out his locker too. This should be interesting to watch, this and Billy Football.

Don't guys normally clean out their locker after their season's over?

What I read was his was the only one....I could be wrong.




"Ed Werder of ESPN, citing an unnamed source, reports that Johnson has cleaned out his locker at the team’s facility, unlike other veteran players. Johnson also reportedly has told his mother that he’s not sure he wants to play."
