During my daily peruse for content on Cleveland.com, I sift through some of the comments and save a handful to share with you all once a week. So when you’re hungover and clinging to life on a Sunday morning, come on over to Bottlegate and let us talk you off the ledge.
“AVON, Ohio – Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel, was pulled over by Avon police after police said a domestic argument got out of hand on Interstate 90 westbound earlier in the week.
Police said alcohol was involved. The argument took place between Manziel and his Texas Christian University girlfriend Colleen Elizabeth Crowley.
According to a four-page police report obtained exclusively by newsnet5.com, both were drinking but were not charged.
According to the report, a witness called police after seeing Manziel’s white Nissan use the shoulder of the road to pass her at a high speed.
According to the report, police did not believe the couple was intoxicated to the point where they could be charged and Crowley told officers that she did not want to press charges so both were allowed to leave the scene in Manziel’s car.”
According to the report, son of a bitch. Goddamn it Johnny. I know we don’t have all the details just yet and we probably never will but this obviously looks horrible. The part of the article that really could cause a shit storm is below:
“In the report, Crowley told police Manziel pushed her head into a window. She wanted her cell phone because she was concerned about her safety and said she just wanted to return to Texas.”
Not a good look man. Not a good look. This is 2014 Johnny. 2014 Johnny was a goddamn disaster. Even if he’s 100% in the right here, he’s really not. Gotta be better than this. That ice that’s keeping his NFL career from plunging into the icy waters of Lake Erie? Paper thin.
You can hear Johnny in the background a few times, claiming he’s sober and pleading with bae to let him take her home.
UPDATE: Dash cam footage from cop car (via newsnet5.com)
Sigh. Another UPDATE: More dashcam footage, this time we get to hear Paul Kruger on film and he has some not so nice things to say (which we mostly all agree with but are too scared to say)
So not only is Brian Hartline making plays on the field, he’s making them off of it too. Introducing his fiancee Kara Conard. Smoke. 10/10. Good for Brian.
