2 wins for the Browns is a lot of wins
tes516 😂😂
It’s more than double what they won this year!
Thats still 1 more win than Cleveland had since he left.
Lol he was 2-6 as the browns starter the browns are 1-31 since he got cut that's crazy af lol
Johnny got paid for what he was supposed to do on the field, and yet off the field he was just a disappointment to himself and fan's!! Just like other player's that can't seem to handle the fame... I'm out
Johnny Manziel will have a guaranteed job in the XFL.
He developed his bipolar disorder from being drafted by the disaster that is the Cleveland Browns.
bigsnake_inc-123 daaaaaaaaaaaamn. Now that's the hard truth right there.
😂😂😂DAMN FAX
He wanted to be drafted by the browns.
bigsnake_inc-123 facts
bigsnake_inc-123: The Browns are just a football intelligent owner and entire knowledgeable staff away from being great! And yes, kill the dawg that shouldn't even be there as well. lol.
I agree with Stephan A surprised he took that take tho
I agree with SAS completely and knowing one person with actual Bipolar disease and another with schizophrenia 90% of these people are out here talking BS simply because they had a mood swing (because there situation changed)
when you actually know people who have to be medicated to sleep because if not there bipolar kicks in at the loss of consciousness and they litterally take on different personality and will stay up days on end till they pass out on there driveway. It makes it hard to take these celebrity cases of convenient disorder seriously.
Idol sa kusina
Idol sa kusina boy logro
I hope Johnny Manziel makes a comeback. Say what you want but he was fun to watch.
Spidey7747 No he wasn't. The media hyped him absurdly because of his race.
Spidey7747....he's garbage!
Not in Cleveland...
To be fair he landed in Cleveland, with a head coach who DID NOT want him, the odds were so stacked against him from the jump. I would like to see him on a different team with a coach who actually is willing to give him more time to get his legs under him, the coach he had did not wanna play him period, yes he had chances but they were brief and not very ideal for a rookie to be able to learn and develope in the league.
I love listening to Stephen A
I'll give you a like on this one.
Finally something real on this show. Where was this "bipolar shit" when he was drafted. Where was this bipolar shit when he self proclaimed himself as Money Manziel and Johnny football? You're both right something's fishy and there's nothing wrong with being skeptical on something like this.
Mordero 96 I have profound respect for the mental health community and those who live/suffer with mental illness and conditions. It’s hard to bash the guy for getting help to address his issues but as SAS said, it’s different when someone is just sharing their journey than when they WANT something. It’s unfortunate because people want to help others but people also want to take advantage of other and circumstances.
I AM MATA No one said for a fact he doesn't, dumbass. If you actually paid attention to the video, sas was saying there was a cause for concern, and that sometimes people claim "mental disorder" when they want sympathy. It is a proven fact that a lot of people that claim to have a mental disorder, we're lying, which ruins it for others, who really do have mental disorders, because they garner the attention of the masses, and take away the sympathy from people who actually need it. Of Manziel really does have a mental disorder, than I hope he gets the help he needs, bit don't be so quick to feel sorry for someone, who a year ago was living a life completely different than someone who suffers from bipolar disorder
We didn't know about cte when players were killing themselves
Mordero 96 wrong af. I do not and will not tell any of my employers or coworkers I'm bipolar,. Y'all do not realize how much of a stigma is on those of us living with metal illnesses. Secondly, he wasn't making excuses, he recognizes that he has made mistakes. But in the interview they asked what changes have you made and he answered the question. He didn't say "I did this cuz I'm bipolar", he said I'm taking my medication for my bipolar disorder.
Zechariah Kelly a year ago he was in rehab...what are you talking about?
Draft Day, John Manziel, 5 years later how am I the man still?
The Squadashians draft day a wiggins fuck that other side bitch we stay winnin
U know i had to do it to em aww man
Matt The Knicks Fan classic man.
What said at the end of the video was a great point.
Everyone want Manziel to make a comeback but not Kaep? Hmmm
Honestly you can put Kaep, Tebow, and Manziel into the same category of below average quarterbacks with HUGE media circuses that follow them all for different reasons. The locker room distraction alone isn't worth bringing to a championship or competing team. Not everything is about talent. They're a business at the end of the day. Money talks.
no you can't kaep went to the bowl
He had one of the worst QBR that season. But you know facts don't lie. You're comparing apples to oranges.
he should come back too I am rooting for him. Maybe they can all sign in the XFL.
This topic makes Stephen A. think about his soulmate Skip Bayless.
He got drafted by the Cleveland Browns, and he hasn't managed to overcome it so far.
End of story.
Well said Stephen!!!!
Steve you are right on !
I still remember when Skip Bayless went on this show and proudly proclaimed Johnny Manziel would be bigger in the state of Ohio than Lebron James himself. This show hasn't progressed much since either, no worries.
Gavin Smith Lol they always get stuck in the moment and say stupid shit that ends up not happening
Manziel has pro bowl talent. people need to give him credit.
3:49 She is writing without looking and max has to look 😂idk why I find it funny
Lol the light going on Max’s face couldn’t un see it hahaha.
excellent video! Success is in your future!
Johnny Football, greatness just greatness
I'm rooting for Johnny to make his comeback! He can do it
Money man Manziel will always be my favorite college player. Dude was one of a kind
Lol the watch reflection on Max’s face
Stephen hit the nail on the head.
MOLLY WAIT YOUR FUCKING TURN GOD FUCKING DAMN IT!!!
“Which is none of our business really.” Best thing a reporter said, being an athlete too I could say I’d be pissed if I see a segment on me an my girlfriend troubles when I play FOOTBALL... these athletes are people too, social media need to ease up getting into personal shit so much.... it’s cheap
Makes him rootable
Great take! No conspiracy or hate... plus could be contested!
I have to agree with Stephen A on this one he was 100% right
I realize Stephen A has to play a certain character on this show, but I fully agree with him here. He is being himself in this segment. In most cases, people come to the end of a mindset once the behaviors are no longer lucrative. Living inauthentic is a decision, not always a medically labeled disorder. My channel speaks on this often.
Everett Overton bitch what?
Everett Overton you literally don’t understand bipolar disorder then.. just stop.
yeah, I 100% agree that the theory makes sense. However, in johnny's case it not only makes sense, but he's using a medical condition that's very easy to diagnose and very hard to fake. Substance abuse alone is much more widely used as a reason for sympathy, I disagree bi-polar is widely used for that.
I think if I’m understanding you correctly you’re implying that the poor behavior on Manziel’s part was a publicity stunt. I can’t buy that though. The behaviors he displayed ruined his career. They weren’t just little things here and there that made him an edgy bad boy. He torpedoed his pro football career. I think that would be a counterproductive outcome if this was all just a show for fame.
Jazmine Bethea allow me to explain. What I'm saying is we all possess some form of God-given talent, but if we live and behave unconsciously, we will pay a huge price. I think one can torment themselves to a point of then tagging a medical label as the reason. In some cases, yes, people are legitimately bi polar...and a proper diagnosis and treatment is necessary.
But when any person lives wild and crazy, full of unhealthy ego....and undisciplined...they will squander not only a career, but even their own spirit man/woman....which no one really want to go inside....but quickly to the doctor.
molly should be allowed a 15 second max time limit for speaking during this entire show
I want to see Manziel on the field one time pleaseeeeee
That light was blinding max 😂
Thank you Stephen A! Some people just say to excuse their behavior.
I thought the same thing SAS said and I'm glad he kept it real unlike everyone else who were too scared to say this because of the fear of people going crazy on twitter
I am glad Stephen A. went there. Couldn't agree more with his position.
Any team that needs a QB who can throw the football and has even a small chance of winning games, should consider taking Manziel atleast as a backup.
I have a doctorate in the field and I agree with Stephen A. Smith. Bipolar disorder is the most over-diagnosed disorder in the field. That's been proven with numerous studies. Over half the people who come to me and tell me they have bipolar disorder don't really have it. Many people are diagnosed with it when they really have substance abuse or personality disorders. I don't know the details of Manziel's case, but he seems to fit that pattern.
TheTruthiest So, you are accusing your colleagues of over diagnosing, but who is to say it isn't you misdiagnosing patients. Adhd diagnoses are the biggest joke with the Vanderbilt questionare along with the statements of some lazy, attention seeking mothers being the biggest factors of the decision.
Just great the way Cleveland fans like to change the names on our departed qb's jerseys . . Couch>Ouch, Frye>Fryed , will see Manziel jerseys changed to Mania.
Stephen A , I couldn’t have said it better myself.
They never show a full clip
Thank you Stephen A. for putting yourself out there by saying that far too many people feign mental illness to avoid taking responsibility for their mistakes. It’s nice to finally hear someone make that point.
Manziels best shot is to prove himself as a player AND person in the CFL, and hopefully get a tryout with a few NFL teams. I think his window as a starter closed a couple years ago but he can be a backup.
This is exactly why I favor watching sport shows on the bootleggers channels on CZcams. They always cut the segment short on the official channels.
I hope he comees back
“I don’t have a drinking problem, the team has a problem with me drinking. It a completely different thing”- Jonny manzel
FYI folks,Manic depression,needed a kinder,gentler face,and they invented the name, bi-polar.started seeing a shrink in the 7th grade,I'm 68 now,led a full life so far,meaningful,served my country, became a master carpenter in the hall,but not a day goes by,that I don't feel self destructive.the fact is,most manics,thrive in competitive sports,the arts,trades,creativity.It's a way of transcending our thoughts,by having to concentrate on that or rather those skills. I used to hate going home after work,but I have taken up wood carving,and it became bearable.Hope this sheds a little light on this affliction.
I miss Johnny football
Stephen A nailed this one to a tea....i know espn is a huge brand and he has to act a certain way on this show, but this was himself talking straight out the gate. People are too sensitive in today's culture to admit to the reality behind mental health and several other aspects lol.
Murtaza Quasim Id probably take a dozen back-ups over Manziel.
Literally an idiot.
I love it when people like you with no education or experience working in mental health think they are a fucking expert.
That's what journalism is for. You investigate and find out. You don't just spew out speculation to get idiots like you on his side.
We need him back in the league
Totally agree with Stephen A here.
SAS is 100% right! Celebs always claim bipolar when they mess up.
welcome to the real world, where you don't know what's real or not, honest or faked, factual or fictional
Midwest Livin no , no fuck up
Or sex addiction.
Example please? Neither you or SAS seem to be able to come up with one. No journalistic integrity.
I agree with Stephen on this, you can be diagnosed with anything, when I was in middle school I went to the hospital and told them I had trouble reading so they said I might have dyslexia and they gave me a note to school so I didnt have to read out loud lul, too easy now adays, also told my dr that I cant sleep and need weed and he said ok, its too damn easy
Now that I think about it, 2-6 record isn’t even that bad considering he played for the browns who have 1 win in the last 2 seasons
I RARELY agree with Stephen A... but he is SPOT ON HERE
Lets go!! COMEBACK$ZN
Ronnie Degollado Johnny Manziel to me has all the talent to be a Pro Bowl quarterback and one of the best quarterbacks of the era. the thing is he lack a discipline and focus due to his addiction to drugs and girls and immaturity. He can be great but he has to change his life around
Ronnie Degollado NOT!!!!
Manzeil can bang! Hes a baller
the only way manziel gets a happy ending is at the massage parlor
SAS and I finally agree on something important. Check us out agreeing and stuff. I'm happy now.
Wow, SAS came with the truth.
Molly chimes in way too much man damn.
J2x yeah, she needs shut her mouth
Yeah she sucks and Jo Taylor and her show Call me crazy rocks
Ill shut her mouth!
L
D L. That's why they're here...to get fucked and give us kids and cook, just like in a Lion pride 😀
I’m surprised he didn’t pull that ol AFFLUENZA card out of his deck 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Give Johnny Manziel a second chance...If the NFL gave Josh Gordon a second chance because he accepted his mistakes and moved on, Manziel deserves another shot if he's just as committed, which I believe he is. Don't let a disorder that's controllable decide whether or not he gets the chance to be an NFL player.
Stephen A, not only are you fun to watch as the Quintessential black sports commentator--especially when you get wound up about something--you are also the wisest of all sports commentators! AND I tend to agree with you most times and especially with regards to bipolar symptoms. We hope to understand errant behavior by giving it a name but the human psyche is too complex for that. Some people just cannot stop being obnoxious and self destructive no matter what label you slap on them.
I thought for sure Stephen a was getting ready to say if he was a different race he would be in jail or something along those lines like he seems to do everyday on first take.
Wow why are you bringing up race?
fuckin racist.
Onlyrealmusic4life do you watch this show? Sas brings up race into the debate topics all the time
m smith cause it's true most times
Abraham Lincoln was a Republican if someone is raped and they point out the perpetrator, are they playing victim? Acknowledging systematic inequities is not playing the victim. You and everybody else need to stop trying to deflect and apologize for this crooked and insidious system that we all live in.
Max low key tried to save Stephen a lol. Basically max said "what he said was dumb but we should have the right to sound dumb in conversation" lol
I feel like humans care too much about one another careers and not enough about actually living and enjoying life. Give the dude a fucking break, he's a college graduate and he is still supporting himself financially. That's a successful man in my opinion. He does not need to go back to the NFL.
Caitlyn Jenner, he should be nominated for that bravery award for going public about his disorder. That takes such bravery! Wow! What a man!
Stephen A’s point is a powerful and controversial one, but also, I think, an important one. It can be dangerous in two ways. 1. He can say that and ppl might think he’s not taking mental health seriously. 2. He can say that and be protecting mental health and not letting it be used as an excuse for ppl who trying to get sympathy from the public. Awesome topic and so much to digest. I usually don’t like Stephen A’s points he brings up, but this is a good one
Your pain is self chosen
Brandon
So people with mental health issues choose to be fucked up?
Michael Simmons Well when you get fucked up however you do, you’ll have no one to blame but yourself right?
I would have been more sympathetic toward Johnny had he blamed his problems on Boozing and partying to much, because that's what he did. When I was boozing and partying I turned into a loud mouth asshole. When sober I'm a completely different person. We all are. That was Johnnys personality disorder.
I hope he gets another shot; he's at least better than 31 back up QB's!
Dont let this distract you from the fact that the browns are 1-31 since releasing manziel
thought stephen would bring up race ur he brought some real shit 💯💯💯
when talking about size and athleticism i say wentz is the mold(yes i am biased)
Dam I never thought I would agree with with smith and here I am agreeing with him
SAS makes a lot of sense here.
He should've gone to the Seahawks & been a backup to Mr Wilson. They can do similar things and have similar styles ,So the offense would not have to change and that locker room would put Manziel in his place but also let him be Johnny Football 🏈😎
Here come the internet psychiatrists in the comment section that probably didn’t even graduate community college.
You can't graduate from a community college
Quaid Wilburn what's wrong with community college?
if anything you should be questioning SAS because he is the one talking out his sphincter about bipolar disorder when he clearly is totally ignorant regarding how these diseases are diagnosed and everything he is saying is total assumption backed by literally zero facts. did you even go to college bro?
I am a virgin
Here comes the butt hurt community college students and one community college student from California that has delusions of grandeur.
I have bipolar and when good things happen I can still feel like shit and believe I don't deserve good in my life and I would just want to self harm because that's what made me feel good. Bipolar is not a light switch. I was listening to Stephen A and he had a point. It didn't matter if I'd drink, I'd always feel like abusing myself or if I'm manic then that's what I was. It don't have to come after a job well done in something. Mania can fuck me up to the point I'm flexing and punching myself to prove how I can't feel pain because I'm super. I can be dangerous to myself and weird to others. And plus I have schizophrenia and I'm not going there. But when I was in track and would win, I'd still feel like shit and would harm myself in the locker room. I'd feel the schizophrenia too. I thought some people in the stands to watch the track meet were demonic but couldn't pinpoint. Shit happens, even when I'm good. That's how my illnesses work.
The level of ignorance regarding bipolar disorder is astounding within these comments smh
Marcelo Rivadeneira No one said for a fact he doesn't, dumbass. If you actually paid attention to the video, sas was saying there was a cause for concern, and that sometimes people claim "mental disorder" when they want sympathy. It is a proven fact that a lot of people that claim to have a mental disorder, we're lying, which ruins it for others, who really do have mental disorders, because they garner the attention of the masses, and take away the sympathy from people who actually need it.

Zechariah Kelly you literally are an idiot. Please don’t reproduce or vote.
Marcelo Rivadeneira You are so right. It infuriates me when people use labels so they won't have to take responsibility. It is so unfair to people with real mental illness.
I guess Brandon Marshall lied about having bipolar disorder as well
Marcelo Rivadeneira care to enlighten us?
"Hoping to make an NFL Comeback" AKA "I'm going broke, and need the cash so I don't become Homeless"
People are only obsessed with seeing people fail or fall from greatness in today's society. So what if he wants back in the league? Of course he does. When it comes to personal matters why do we need to see validation of a said condition? Just be happy for the man trying to get his life together. Thats the most important thing, football or not.
Sas read my mind. Right on the money. I'm rooting for Johnny but I won't be surprised if he doesn't make it. Prove us wrong Johnny.
He'd be a great backup in green bay
Why the hell is Johnny still coming across the bubble I've made for myself.
I truly find it funny how Stephen A. Smith always starts with, "I like him a lot.....I"ve talked to him on several occasions this and that...BUT". Yeap, there's that, "But" and all the negative trash talk begins. "I love Kapaenick, I truly respected him...BUT". Same goes for Michael Irvin, Dak, Ray Lewis. You can sugar coated anyway you wanted it Stephen but where I come from, it's called "kissing their ass before you spit right on their face". Nice one Stephen. Love you man, BUT often, you're just too cruel man.
It is so easy to pretend and fake bipolar disorder without a doubt, it is insanely easy to get diagnosed with it as well. Truthfully, if you have something that you hold onto and that makes you sad randomly you can go to the doctor this very instant and say " I literally go from the happiest person in the world to the saddest person in the world simply because i've lost something that's very important to me. I can't come to terms with losing it, but some days i truly feel as tho i've gotten over it and I'm happy as i can possibly be, and bam again it hits me randomly and im down and out and i don't wanna speak to anyone. " that's the exact statement i gave to my doctor and i was immediately told i was bipolar. I suffered from " Hypo mania and mania. When in reality i was just having a hard time accepting things that happen in life. Some people do things to themselves that they can't come to terms with and ultimatley drown themselves just like Johnny did. It's not always a mental illness you're dealing with but simply something deep down in yourself that you have to realize. Do you want this to affect you for the rest of your life yes or no.
What people need to understand is u have a very small window to play professional sports. You need to cherish every oppurtunity and cash in on it because once you miss that window more than likely you will never play pro ball.
im glad sas brought that up
why? he is making an assumption on 0 grounds of any sort of truths. if he is wrong... its very offensive and extremely ignorant.
m m
im jus sayin.... people lie to make them selves look alil better. im jus sayin its a possiblity. im jus sayin
what u say is true but it makes no sense to use bipolar disorder as a fake considering its symptons are very severe and are clear as day. they have an obvious affect on not only the person who has it but everyone that is close to them. ive seen it first hand (my former roommate had it) a 6 year old would be able to tell that something is seriously wrong with someone who is having an episode.
m m
i know people who say theyre bipolar and arent. its not that uncommon.
ya your right, i know people who say that they are retarded but are they actually? i know people who say that there dying when they have a common cold. i know people who say that they have ocd when they dont. my point is you need to look at the context of when people say these things. manziel released a statement saying he was diagnosed (as in a medical professional told him this information after testing) with bipolar disorder and that he is know on medication for this.
Johnny Football? 😂🤣
If he wasn't drafted to Cleveland, I think that his career would of had been a lot different.
Jhonny football can become a backup in the nfl ....
Steven A speaking facts!!
Guys, I thought he was going to the CFL??
Imma have to agree with Stephen A on this one.
THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT ISSUES LOLLLL
That light on Max's face was my only focus on this video
Btw...Molly, just stop talking. You're not gonna get a say in anything. So just stop trying
They gave Jay Cutler a job last year.
4:35 Molly please don't say anything / 4:42 Molly please please don't say anything 😷
I’m only here because Skip and Shannon are on vacation...
sas dropped facts
I agree with Stephen A.
