    The two biggest aTm fans I know are pissed at the kid for his recent actions.
    "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

      If you were an NFL exec. this article would raise huge red flags. The kid ia already a fring prospect anyways now you find out that his parents think he is on the verge of a breakdown and he is coping with pressure by drinking. After the Hernandez situation character is going to play a much bigger role in evaluations. Manziel is only hurting himself.

          Now it looks like he was paid to sign autographs.

          Manziel is messing up his life -- he's acting like the more talented football version of Marshall Henderson.

            It's really only a shame that Urban was away from College Football during his recruitment. The two seem like a match made in heaven.

                  That's like saying you can only take jabs at Satan in the official "Satan is a dick" thread. No need to limit for scum like St Urban.

                      It's a shame that so many people seem to think that rich people can't have problems. Manziel appears to be really struggling, but everywhere I've seen him discussed he's nothing but the butt of jokes (present company excluded). I hope he gets some help before things really go bad for him.

                        At the least, he beat Alabama last year. But it is very sad what celebrity can do to someone. The problem is that people in his situation feel invincible.

                          urban = satan. Gotcha..


                          Now back on topic. For me. It's hard to feel any sympathy for Johnny Football. After reading that article and they way he is portrayed about his celebrity status. That al he wants is to be normal and now we hear this? With knowledge he is already rich.. Why?? Doesn't make sense unless this is more about his ego.. Dude's ego is off the charts.

                            I feel bad for Manziel but yeah the fact is he is bringing all these problems on himself with his immaturity.

                            Bottom line is that I think the guy really doesn't know what he wants and is just erratic. He supposedly wants to just be a normal college student and be left alone but he sends out these crazy tweets. He supposedly has plenty of family money but it looks like he has compromised his eligibility with these stupid autographs.

                            I agree with CJ that the guy is killing his already borderline NFL prospects with this stuff.

                              How many college students do you know? I would think that crazy tweets (and especially ones that say how much you look forward to being done with school) are par for course.
