I will go out on a limb and say that Manziel is not a hardcore drug user and that he is doing otherwise with this bill.

If you were the Brownies, wouldn't you have an iron clad contract that would include a requirement for random drug tests? The dude would be peeing in a cup 30 minutes after the pic hit tweeter or instagram if the Brownies had a clue.

 

Then again, they drafted him knowing he was about the party more than the sport. He's the Bizarro World Tim Tebow.

Johnny Dumbball will last in the league about as long as I would.

Forget the dollar bill. The bigger side is that he's drinking a chick drink.

Players Union would likely never let that happen and even if it were allowed, you know plenty of teams would look the other way unless it got so bad their hand was forced.

It looks like the Browns, Manziel and maybe even the NFL are all involved in a cover up of the tightly rolled dollar bill:

 

The Browns had no commenton the photo at the time, and Manziel’s camp (which had no qualms about calling bull crap on that phony lawsuit filed against Manziel in May) went silent.

 

Twice in the last two days, Manziel has met with the media. On neither day did Manziel address whether the photo is legitimate. On neither day did Manziel explain why he was tightly rolling up a piece of paper money. At no point did anyone ask why the large necklace that was outside his T-shirt in other photos from that night had been tucked inside his shirt before he commenced the process of tightly rolling up a bill.

 

In fact, the transcript generated by the Friday press conference apparently was edited to obscure the fact that Patrick McManamon of ESPN.com actually asked about the rolled-up bill.

 

Then McManamon asked about the rolled-up bill. Said Manziel: “I think I just spoke on that a little bit. I’ve talked about that with Coach Pettine; I’ve talked about it with Ray Farmer and the people that I need to talk about that with. Moving forward, they’re good with everything and I’ve told them everything I need to.

 

When he finished, there were no questions about the photo. With each passing press conference, it will be more awkward and more uncomfortable for whoever decides to be the one to bring it up. At some point, however, someone needs to show him that picture and ask: (1) Is this you?; and (2) If it is, what were you doing?

 

Maybe those specific questions will be asked by whoever CBS or ESPN or NFL Network sends to Cleveland for a sit-down interview before the team’s Week One visit to Pittsburgh. Or maybe CBS or ESPN or NFL Network will be told that, without an agreement that those questions won’t be asked, there won’t be an interview. And maybe whoever agrees not to ask those questions will get the “exclusive” with Manziel.

 

UPDATE 3:59 p.m. ET: A prior version of this article claimed that no one had asked the question about the rolled-up dollar bill. Lindsay Jones of USA Todaypointed via Twitter than Manziel was asked about the rolled-up bill on Friday, by Pat McManamon of ESPN.com. As noted above, the transcript generated by the Browns doesn’t reflect that (which may be a story in and of itself), and none of the TV coverage on ESPN or NFL Network has focused on the question or the photo or any of the questions that the photo logically gives rise to.

I'd lie and try to cover it up too if I was the NFL and the Browns. This is an unwanted headache for both of them. The question remains........what was he doing?

Cocaine...

Cocaine...

 

Damn.

 

Cocaine is a helluva drug.

My only question is: what's the bounty pool up to now? I'd think this guy has one of the highest tags on his head in recent NFL history if I were guessing. I'm going to say it's around $10,000 if someone can knock him out of a game, maybe up to $20,000 for a division opponent.

 

Just for a point of reference, the Saints were offering $5,000 to the player who knocked Aaron Rodgers out of the season opener, and it was up to $10,000 for whoever could knock Favre out of a playoff game, and that's just from 1 contributor (Vilma... the amount contributed by Ornstein, the DC, was not disclosed).

 

Doubt there are any Bengals, Steelers, or Ravens who'd still be doing a bounty pool though... nah.
