It’s a football career that has induced plenty of cringes in the last 24 months. So it makes sense that the lawyer representing unemployed quarterback Johnny Manziel would offer up a sound bite on Thursday that induced even more cringes.
Asked by reporters to identify the preferred outcome of Manziel’s pending criminal case involving allegations of assaulting his ex-girlfriend, attorney Robert Hinton said he hopes that “[e]verybody would kiss and make up.”
And that wasn’t even the most problematic thing Hinton said. He added that Manziel likely would return to Los Angeles at some point. Which provides further proof that Manziel isn’t willing or able to make the changes he needs to get back to the NFL. Indeed, it shows he still hasn’t recognized that changes are even needed.
