Football has moved on without Johnny Football. But Johnny Football still hasn’t moved on from football.
Capping a month that supposedly began with a vow of sobriety, Johnny Manziel was back in a club on Friday night. As he emerged (and got behind the wheel of a car -- which is fine if he wasn’t drinking, anything but fine if he was), Manziel celebrated the return of Josh Gordon with a “YES!” and said the Browns “absolutely” should bring Gordon back.
“He’s been a Pro Bowl!” Manziel exclaims to TMZ.
Manziel then said he’s “absolutely” returning to the NFL and that he’ll play for the Cowboys.
That could be news to the Cowboys, who reportedly have zero interest in Manziel unless and until he turns his life around. With still no indication of a clear desire to do what he needs to do to win back the trust of any NFL team, Manziel is going to have to wait for a lot of quarterbacks to get injured before his phone will ever be ringing with a call from Dallas.
