You can't blame Johnny Manziel in case he's trying to throw a Hail Mary and a little desperate with his starting quarterback job lost.

The Browns quarterback said last week that he was just going to relax during Cleveland's bye week. He also said the team wouldn't have to worry about him doing anything that would turn into a distraction.

When confronted about the video on Tuesday, Manziel, who spent 70 days in rehab this past offseason, came up with this excuse -- err, explanation.

Here's the problem with Johnny Football's seemingly flimsy alibi: Since he isn't shy about posing for pictures when he's out, it took TMZ about two seconds to blow up Manziel's story.

The site was able to find a picture of Manziel allegedly partying on Thursday, which pretty much proved the video in question was current.
