Vienna may not have been calling Johnny Manziel this weekend. But Las Vegas was.
Via Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the Browns quarterback flew to Las Vegas to unwind a bit during a short break in offseason workouts.
Cabot has a collection of tweets and photos showing Manziel in Sin City, doing things that kids his age with money tend to do. At a time when the Browns have seemed to be intent on knocking him down a peg or two, they don’t have a problem with Johnny being Johnny away from the field.
“He’s almost like the Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth throwback -- he’s a guy’s guy,” G.M. Ray Farmer told 92.3 The Fan on Wednesday, via Cabot. “When you see him he’s having fun, he’s partying, he’s doing his thing. I think people are attracted to the fact that not only does he make plays and is a really good athlete . . . he’s a really good player, but he lives life.”
As long as he stays out of trouble (and the champagne spraying could get him a little closer to the proverbial line), the team and the league will have no issue with Manziel living life. Work hard, play hard has become a mantra for many, and Manziel will be putting in plenty of work as he tries to climb from No. 3 to No. 1 on the depth chart.
