You're Either With Him or Against Him

     On the basic most fundamental level, Johnny Manziel is a joy to watch.  Aggie Nation had it's once in a generation talent for 2 years and it will probably be another 40 years before they have another.  But if you don't live in Aggie Nation there seems to be pundits and prognosticators on every corner.  Every participant in college football shares a responsibility for ethical conduct, a class Johnny Manziel skipped during his 2 years at Texas A&M.  We have seen brilliance and stupidity from him but what can anyone really expect out of a 20 year old country bumpkin?  From autograph scandals, regrettable tweets, all night beer bashes to the stupid stunt of crashing a University of Texas frat party he differently flunked Social Shills 101.   Hormonal growing pains and social media pitfalls are not immune to anyone but Mr Manziel is about to enter the National Football League.  If he continues on his current course he will be eaten alive.
     Talent with streaks of brashness will thrill millions on Sunday if Mr Manziel can replicate what he did on Saturdays.  I for one don't think a 6 ft quarterback  can make it in today's NFL.  Like him or hate him, he will be fun to watch for at least a year or two then he will be regulated to the bench and the Aggie faithful  just might ask him to give back his Heisman Trophy.
