Cleveland Browns Flop Johnny Manziel says he is rooted for the team to undergo a season from 0 to 16 years old, this season and each season.
The former quarter-Arrière, which was taken in the 22nd rank in the general classification of the 2014 NFL draft by the Browns after having become the first recruit to win the Heisman trophy with the Aggies of Texas A&M, had two years mixed in Cleveland before being cut in early 2016 after a series of out-of-field problems.
Almost 10 years later and Manziel is still bitter about how things happened.
Appearing on the Podcast Nightcap, he told the co-animators of Shannon Sharpe and Chad “ Ochocinco ‘Johnson: “I think that I will always be looked at and seen because of the amount of media and media and all that surrounds me, and the city of Cleveland is waiting for me to be.
“I finally sit here today and I say to myself: ‘FK it, I think I’m going to be upset against them and hate them forever, so that’s what it is.
“No love for the Browns, I am rooted for 0 to 16 seasons each season.”
It was my fault, but the Browns did not do it enough – Manziel
Manziel says he is now mature enough to accept responsibility for the problems he has caused, but insist that the Browns did not do enough to help him.
He added: “I sit here today, and many people will hear me to talk to me because I tell stories and I do the podcasting stuff, people will always be as if I blamed things on other people, or I am not responsible or something like it, but listen, at the end of the day, everything I took in my life, which happened to me, decisions that I made as a man in this life.
“So, was Cleveland the best situation for me, they helped me, knowing all the things they knew about me, with all the research and everything, did they put me in the best situation?” Absolutely not. Look at NFL football and be like: “Damn, I would be in my 12th year.
“I am the one who has to put my head on the pillow every night and be like,” it should have, “but that was not the case.”
Maybe it was not supposed to be for me – Manziel
He continued: “And at the end of the day, a large part of my life because I got out of football was like what I will be able to do to find a spark, to be able to be happy, to be able to give me something like football gave me, and you know what, maybe it was not supposed to be for me.
“I did not take a long time, the effort or the determination that you must be great and that it was perhaps my stupidity, my youth or what it was supposed to be, and nevertheless, I take responsibility for everything and what it is. I really did not hurt anyone other than me when everything is said and done. ”
Manziel could get his wish in the next season with the Browns who only managed three victories last year. On Sunday, they open their home season at the Bengals in Cincinnati.
