Browns made up Manziel concussion to cover for him showing up drunk
Report: Browns lied about Manziel concussion to cover up his drinking
Posted by Michael David Smith on February 9, 2016, 12:39 PM EST


In a report on the league’s own network, the Browns have been accused of lying about Johnny Manziel having a concussion in an effort to cover up that the real problem with Manziel was showing up to work drunk.

“Johnny Manziel, going into what would have been a start late in the season, showed up drunk at practice on a Wednesday. The Browns lied and said he was in the concussion protocol. Let me repeat that: The Browns lied, to try to protect, and I would argue enable, this irresponsible and very troubled young man,” Mike Silver said on the air on NFL Network.

As PFT pointed out at the time, there’s always been something very fishy about Manziel’s Week 17 concussion diagnosis. On Monday of the last week of the season, then-Browns coach Mike Pettine said he planned to talk to Manziel about a video that appeared to show him drinking alcohol and partying. At that time, there were no reports that Manziel being checked for a concussion. Then, when Manziel showed up to work on Wednesday, it was announced that he had a concussion and couldn’t play in that Sunday’s season finale. It was never explained why the Browns only diagnosed this concussion three days after it supposedly happened, and two days after Pettine said he was going to have a stern talk with Manziel about his off-field issues.

If NFL Network’s report is correct, the NFL should come down hard on the Browns. The league has spent the last few years repeating, over and over again, that concussions are to be taken seriously. If the Browns are using bogus concussion diagnoses to avoid having to discuss players’ off-field problems, that would be an appalling misuse of the league’s injury reports.

So while the Browns are done with Manziel, they may not be done paying the price for hitching their wagon to him. Cleveland could be facing league discipline for lying about a concussion.

Like I said, trade value. It looks a lot better if Manziel is not playing due to concussion rather than Manziel showed up to practice drunk as a skunk.

They should let fast boat submariners know this new rule... If they want to get the pig underway with a sober crew they might need an extra day.

Which is worse?

1) A player shows up to work hungover. He complains of a headache, nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to light. These are all symptoms of a concussion. Doc puts him into concussion protocol.

2) A player shows up to work hungover. He complains of a headache, nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to light. These are all symptoms of a concussion. Doc says "Bullshit. You are hungover." Team announces to the world that JFB is leaving the team for "personal" reasons. JFB announces he has concussion symptoms but the Browns don't believe him.

Just gonna use this one. Johnny Manziel showed up drunk complaining of headaches and dizziness. By rule they had to put him in the Concussion protocol. Now whether or not he was intoxicated is a whole nother issue. But the Browns did nothing wrong.

Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where George is trying to get fired from the Yankees and drags a championship trophy through the parking lot.

The kid is a **** up, but you have to wonder if he would be different in a different situation with a solid locker room and leadership.
