LISTEN: Browns fan cries on radio while ripping Johnny Manziel
By Steve DelVecchio
Johnny Manziel has been demoted to third string for Sunday’s game in the wake of his latest embarrassing off-field incident, and one Cleveland Browns fan is beyond fed up with the 22-year-old’s irresponsible behavior.
A Browns fan named Bill called into 92.3 The Fan’s “Bull and Fox Show” in Cleveland on Tuesday and became overwhelmed with emotion while unloading on Manziel. Here’s the audio:
“When Mike Pettine (gives you the starting job), that means you’re the elite,” the fan said. “You’re no jerk. You don’t go out with prostitutes, you don’t go drinking in bars and you don’t act like a jerk. And that’s what this guy is. He’s not a Brown. He never will be a Brown.”
Bill was clearly getting choked up as he began rattling off names of Browns legends. He admitted to the hosts that he was getting emotional.
“This is my team,” Bill said while seemingly fighting back tears. “I’m not gonna have a moron come in there — some drunken bum — who thinks he knows it all and doesn’t bother reading the playbook."
If you missed the video of Manziel supposedly partying in Austin last week during the bye, you can watch it here. It obviously did not sit well with Bill.
My advice to Bill would be to try and track down this New York Mets fan. I think the two might be able to help each other out.
