PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.

Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

LAST EDITED ON 09-02-13 AT 07:58 PM (EST)Okay, I'm starting to see the problem now. He's got a classic case of Disease Of Me, which in this case is Entitlement plus a raging fever of The Stupids. When you're under investigation for illegally selling your signature, using an autograph gesture for a taunt -- soon followed by a hand sign indicating 'money' -- points out a social IQ normally found in the NYC comptroller race. And the raw intelligence quotient doesn't seem to be doing too well either. He's dumb. Damn dumb. He thinks he's ten feet tall and bulletproof. He walks around in a state normally only found in the short duration between the second bottle of tequila and the three-day-blackout. And he likely believes it's all okay because the Big League Money is waiting for him in the NFL and then he can really get down to serious acts of excess -- -- but there's one problem. The NFL is being slightly more careful about character issues. If he could somehow be drafted today -- if all current college players were eligible -- my guess is that he'd freefall out of the first round. Not all the way out of the draft itself: some GM would take the Bad Boy chance on him. ('I know he's cheated on everyone else he's ever dated, but I can make it work!') But early Pay Me cash? Not as much as he thinks. And just try getting endorsements from the big companies right now. Go on, try it. He hasn't turned himself into Johnny Used Car Salesman just yet. But the exit ramp is looming ahead. And that car isn't slowing down.

OK. Let's put the fact that he's a juvenile jerk off the field aside for a moment. He is that, no argument. I think Johnny FU would be an appropriate sobriquet. Let's also put the fact that he's an unstoppable offensive maestro of a QB. Let’s also put aside the fact that he holds a fist full of QB records, surpassing every QB in history in major offensive categories, and is the first freshman in history to win the Heisman. He is all of that too, no argument. He is Johnny Football on the field. Let’s put those little things aside and just look as the NCAA related legal problem he faced. This article pretty well sums up the situation. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/ncaaf--johnny-manziel-s-suspension-exposes-ridiculousness-of-ncaa-s-double-standards-012517037.html When your laughter finally subsides, one has to wonder why every starting NCAA collegiate athlete who has memorabilia sold with his/her name on it hasn't been penalized.

Johnny FU didn't write and incorporate that rule into the NCAA rulebook, the NCAA did. I agree that JFU isn't doing what he's doing in order to bring them down. JFU is a FU, and all he's doing is FUing up. But that was the NCAA's FU, and I'd lay money on the table that says that that rule will be modified/eliminated pretty soon.
But his FU's are that of a typical college kid put in a national spotlight with the first Heisman in history by a freshman athlete, and told by the media that he's the Jesus Christ of College football. He didn't do drugs (not caught anyway), he doesn't drink (again not caught, but come on, we know he has, but so what? What college 19-20YO straight off the farm hasn't tried a nip?), didn't do any hit and runs, shoplifting, or put a sex tape on the internet. So the Lindsey Lohan analogy is a bit thin. There're both FUs, but analogous? His response to taunting on the field was to respond. And respond again when the taunting by the Rice players was repeated. If they are going to throw a penalty on JFU, what about the Rice guys (2 of them) that started that correspondence? And are the refs even aware of what goes on before every snap at the line of scrimmage? The Press is being a bit hard on JFU, and anybody with an ounce of skeptism has to doubt his story in regard to the no-cash for autographs story. But no there's no proof, and maybe there's a reason for that. You know that they checked his financial transaction records, and a dumb kid like that could hardly be smart enough to not give himself away somehow. If he had received a stack of cash I think he would have gone out and bought those rims, or a even that new Corvette. He is, at heart, JFU, and he'd FU if he could. He tries. Here in Alabama, the local sports writers are really getting silly with their versions of what an infamous FU Johnny is, and getting giddy with each Texas party he gets thrown out of or parking ticket he receives (not exactly Lohanesque crimes). According to them (and some national writers) there is no way that he could repeat 2012 with another year of training under a system and a new coach that both have had a full year to mature. To me, those things seem like they could be advantageous, but not to them.
