Anyone else see this? Now manziel and his new 'company' is suing for infringement on his nickname. Some guy was selling t-shirts saying "Keep calm and johnny football" (original), and now Manziel is suing for damages.... First not going to classes and now this? Starting to piss me off right now. This is ridiculous. (non-pay/insider article).
A lot of talk about a guy who has no future in the NFL.
4-6 seconds from point A to point B and when you get to point B, be pissed off
Water boy is a pretty good future.
But seriously, why do you sy that?
"YOLO" = I'm about to do something extremely ignorant/stupid & I need an excuse to do it.
6'1 200-looks about 5'9 195. Void of any real arm strength and not big enough to take the hits the NFL will deliver.
4-6 seconds from point A to point B and when you get to point B, be pissed off
Wait, so you don't actually have to register a trademark to own it?.....I'm gonna start suing EVERYONE!!!!

JMAN2 Enterprises is his company he started I can't wait for him to get taken down a few notches trying to make it in the NFL. Sorry Timmy Tebow 2.0 nobody wants you playing quarterback.
Just another reason I hope Braxton can win the Heisman next year.
"Here officer, hold my beer while I find my license."
and the next year.
Nothing like dancing on the field in 02...
this is absolutely atrocious. Am i the only one that thinks if I was famous and had people making tshirts to represent me....I would be happy as fu*&?

Question: Wouldn't this violate his amateurism if he was recieving money?
Which would violate his eligibility.
I like to believe that my best hits border on felonious assault.

No NCAA said he would be allowed to keep the money he would win.
It's another loophole created for an SEC player.
This is why Freshman shouldn't win the Heisman.
Red-shirt freshman*

Thank you, I hate it when people c like redshirt freshman aren't really sophomores. He's not the first sophomore to win the heisman. The others handled it much better... Tebow is one of the most famous college players of all time and he styled on campus. So did many many others...
Yea, I just feel that this is going to get so much bigger, and his ego is going to be so inflated, that he is going to flop next year because he thinks he is entitled to win now. But only one way to find out, and that is to wait, which royally sucks!
Well when the media treats you like you're an unstoppable god, it's bound to lead to arrogance of the highest level.

Some people have to learn the hard way.
I wasn't trying to be arrogant and one-up a fellow 11w member, but I just don't know why all of his hype really grinds my gears. I just feel that the media just inflates and inflates his ego. With his off-season, which involved multiple sporting events that included tickets that are pretty expensive, I just feel like people are turning the other cheek to his actions and he may have opportunities to get away with more and more. Not saying that he has committed any wrong-doings, but it just raises suspicions. Anyway, I guess me calling him a red-shirt frosh is my way of trying to bring him down a level...

Also, he's taking his classes online this semester (READ: Someone else is taking his classes), so he's really only on campus for practice and games.
I wouldn't cheer for Michigan if they were playing the Taliban.
Pretty much the exact definition of Professional Amateur college student athlete.
he sounds like a class A douchebag
Also can't wait for Skip Bayless to argue with Stephen A about this being another example of why they should pay student athletes. Sarcasm intended.
When the new line of "Johnny Douchebag" tees come out, I'm buying one.

I thought I was the only one who did not care for him. I was sick of hearing about him four months ago... We get it, he is an athletic quarterback.
The most interesting thing about this news, to me, is the NCAA's decision to allow this. It contradicts their stance in a much bigger lawsuit: where former players are suing for a share of the profits from TV and video games using their likeness, which the NCAA licensed and profited from.
If the NCAA believes it is perfectly fine for Manziel to sue for damages in this case, how can they possibly do a complete 180 in the other case?
Get your money now Johnny boy, because you won't be making any in the NFL.

Who came up with "Johnny Football?" I'm sure he didn't and therefore should have no rights to it at all. It was something his Aggie faithful coined, along with "Manzel Mania."

Maybe the person who actually coined the phrase can sue Johnny for stealing his/her great idea.
Don't know who downvoted your comment so I upped you one.
Maybe it was Johnny Manzel?
I get a lot of down votes, I don't care... But thanks for the good intentions.
I think there was an '80's football movie with Anthony Michael Hall. I think the phrase was used about the lead character.

Didn't I read somewhere in here where a student/athlete was told he couldn't pursue his professional music career because he it would affect his ametuer wrestling status?
Didn't stop this abomination ;)

Good to see Denards career as a professional

Good job by Manzel's agent, already getting home 1000's while he's still in college.
I am all about Championships and this is the kind of distraction and overexposure that hurts a team. A&M had a great year last year and some think their on the rise. While that still may be true I'm starting to think this kind of stuff will not bode well for them in the coming season.
Because they wouldn't let me go for 3!

I for one, living in Texas was grateful to see A&M bitch-slap Texas when they left for Sec. But I have to say Johnny is way to big for his britches and I hope Bama or LSU or another team punks him so hard he wishes he stayed with baseball.
