You had an option. You opted to read it. Blame yourself. I thought it was an interesting read.

Good read. But there's a disconnect between Manziel's contemporary parade of indiscretions and the family's not-so-squeaky-clean lineage.

I see the point, just don't think much of it.

Edit: thanks for the illustration!

That was great writing.

I didn't know why I was immediately p.o.'d by someone calling himself "Johnny Football", but now I think I see why.

Crass, but I guess that's just the football bidness these days.

That was my exact thought.

Here is an interesting irony, about one of his forefathers from the story.

If he has one true legacy, it's the famed breed of gamefowl that bears his name, the Manziel grey. By reputation, Manziels are fast and hard to raise.

Seems about right.

That's cool.

There's no doubt that family values are generally passed along, whether by express verbal teaching or by example. There is also no doubt that the product of a family's values can rise above said values through education, religious awakening, etc...

The point is that a family tradition of dishonest gain may point to the family values that would produce a heisman trophy winner that would use his notoriety for dishonest gain.

How much you think of that point makes little difference to its veracity.

I still think it's a reach, regardless. Also, I wasn't trying to sound like a d!ck in my previous post. I really did like your picture. Made your point effectively.

Carry on
