Refresh my memory, wasn't Manziel the draft pick the owner took from a homeless dude outside the stadium? ROFL

Can they even punish the browns? The GM and coach who made that decision are fired. Hue Jackson wants nothing to do with Manziel. He doesn't even want to talk to him

They are screwed. Goodell should go ape shit on them with punishment. Any coach that knew could get banned for life or at least a year.

Well, to be fair, being drunk can totally look like a concussion.

:drool:

I guess I don't see why this is a huge deal (in terms of league punishment anyway). It's just lying about an injury, which I'm sure happens all the time. Slap on the wrist? Sure. But some of you guys are acting like some sort of crime was committed.

Nah, just swap the Titan's ownership with the Brown's ownership. Then Jimmy Haslam can own the team in his brother's state.

Yea I agree. Had they hid a concussion by saying he was drunk the shit would hit the fan but really this seems very minor to me.

Yeah i dont see the big deal. If it were reverse maybe and hiding a concussion. Teams lie about the injury severity all the time. Give them a 5k fine and be done.

League isn't going to be happy about the Browns manipulating the system. Concussions are THE hot button issue right now too.

It will be interesting to see what the punishment will be. Of course it will be more severe for the Browns than it would be for the Broncos,Patriots,Steelers etc.

I don't know if this was Ray Farmer's fault or the coach's, but man, what a massive ****up Ray Farmer turned out to be. I'd be surprised if he works in an NFL front office in ANY capacity ever again.
OR they could say he had a concussion. It's takes a real twisted sense of reality to blame the Browns for Manziel's poor choices.

This is exactly why the Browns are a horrible organization . Lots of people go to work intoxicated and perform just fine. they should have just let Johnny roll .

I think the reason they did this was trade value. Concussion's are one thing but showing up to practice drunk completely kills any potential trade value particularly after Johnny's problems with alcohol.

'Hamas' Jenkins 02-09-2016 07:09 PM
If Pioli got another job after burning a franchise to the ground and initiating a complete fan revolt amidst a totalitarian regime, there's no reason why Farmer couldn't either.

The only way I'd want to play for the Browns is if they let me play drunk.
