Johnny Manziel has concussion symptoms, putting status for Sunday in question. It's not known when he was injured. pic.twitter.com/aIbceoMdzw

How’s that for an opinion straight out of 1985 for ya? Jerod off the top rope!! Fuck what science tells us, you won’t need your brain when you’re out of the NFL! Manziel, you pussy! If you cared about winning that week 16 game to get to 4-12 you’d be out there battling with your brothers! Who cares if your brain turns to mush when James Harrison blindsides you? It’s not a big deal if you can’t remember your name when Ryan Shazier tackles you. Didn’t you hear? This is FOOTBALL we’re talking about! Nothing else matters. Fucking soft ass millenials always whining about their bullshit.

I don’t care if your brain looks like a soggy bowl of Rice Krispies, it’s 3rd and 7 and we’re in the red zone, get your dazed ass out there.

Who cares if Johnny Manziel is only 23 and has his whole football career in front of him? Thinking long term is for idiots.

CTE? More like CDE as in Concussions Don’t Exist.

Nothing bad ever happens to Cleveland quarterbacks when they play the Steelers!

Thing is, I like Jerod. I like when former players can talk about things in the game of football that the normal everyday slapdick guy doesn’t know about. But this take on concussions is just bad, man. It’s 2015 and having this mindset is just wrong. Football players are a different breed and I understand that, but c’mon. I do respect the commitment to his shitty opinion even in the face of all the criticism he’s going to be receiving.

ALSO- Wikipedia works fast

UPDATE: Jerod is doubling down

Funny ironic and or sad how my critics consider themselves "progressive" but they can not deal with OPPOSING thought….

Nothing new here it's well documented the Truth Hurts….but sadly we prefer lies under the guise of political correctness

Who would u rather have on your team a guy who puts himself in harms way or a guy that quits when adversity knocks on his front door?exactly

Yet to have anyone in 140 characters prove my statement to be false the best u got is that it is dumb or stupid…

Hey rook, welcome to the NFL. Sure your hamstring might have been hindering you the past couple weeks, but now your brain has the same consistency as a bowl of mashed potatoes and gravy. Good Lord. Sucks for Duke too because with the NFL’s new concussion policy, he’ll probably be out for awhile. Hopefully he’s back in time for the Jets game but who knows.

Fred Jackson just got released by the Bills and I’ve gotta think he’d be a good fit here with the Browns. A veteran in a young running back crop would help us out immensely. Plus Pettine is familiar with Fred from when he coached in Buffalo so you have to think a call has probably been made. I’d probably cut Terrance West, even though no running back has separated themselves and no one seems worthy of being RB1. I just don’t think Terrance really has any skills that differentiate himself from the other backs. I doubt he gets cut but if he does, I will deeply miss his antics on my Twitter and Instagram feeds. Best social media follow of any Browns player bar none.
