Manziel is a client of James’ marketing firm, but the biggest name in Cleveland sports says he’s more concerned about the QB as a person.
Sources told ESPN Las Vegas that Manziel wound up paying with card anyway. Manziel stayed out till 3 a.m. and asked to be comped to avoid using a credit card that would identify him. “Manziel also sat down at a blackjack table and a casino employee examining his photo ID exclaimed, ‘We’ve got Johnny Manziel with us tonight, ‘ according to John Hornacek, a 43-year-old casino patron who witnessed the exchange”.
Last week, newly-fired Browns’ coach Mike Pettine announced that Manziel will miss the Week 17 finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers, due to a concussion suffered when he rushed for 108 yards in a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Manziel did not come into the locker room to speak with reporters.
“As with most millennials, Manziel attempted to plead his innocence via social media – snapping a pick with his dog with the caption “#SaturdayNights” and geotagging Avon, OH. “I wasn’t”, but later the coach said that if the rumors were true, “it would be disappointing”.
But Johnny Football to Chicago seems like a longshot considering the Bears’ apparent commitment to Jay Cutler, plus the fact that Chicago was the only NFC team to skip Manziel’s pro day in 2014.
Manziel did post something on Instagram that indicated he was in OH that night, but the theories are he simply used geotagging to fake it. “He’s very talented. If you spend some time with him, he’s a likable guy”.
“We’ve made this hard decision because we don’t believe our football team and football operations were positioned well for the future”, Browns owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam wrote in a letter posted to the team’s website Sunday.
