Sheriff spotted wearing Manziel jersey on a sheriff motor scooter (PHOTO)

Here’s a guy riding a sheriff’s motor scooter while wearing a Johnny Manziel jersey. Don't know if he's undercover or not, but donning Johnny Football attire must be the worst way to go unnoticed in Oh-oh-oh-Ohio.

Johnny Manziel to continue treatment in rehab: Report

Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel remains in a rehab facility for an undisclosed condition.

On Feb. 3, family adviser Brad Beckworth announced Manziel had entered a Ohio facility on Jan. 28 to "improve in order to be a better family member, friend and teammate."

On Monday, Browns head coach Mike Pettine said the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner is still being treated. 



Pettine said there has been communication with Manziel, whose controversial rookie season was followed by his entering rehab.

The coach does not know when Manziel will be discharged but reiterated that the "football for us is an afterthought" to Manziel getting well.

In two days, Manziel is scheduled to hit the six-week mark.

Pettine said there was no set end date for Manziel's release, making his availability for offseason workouts uncertain, but is encouraged that Manziel has had a lengthy stay to receive help. He is also confident Manziel will be a better quarterback and will be helped by Cleveland's new coaching additions.

While the Browns wait for Manziel, Pettine said he would be comfortable with newly signed veteran quarterback Josh McCown as the starter next season. McCown went 1-10 as a starter in 2014 for Tampa Bay.

Bengals coach Marvin Lewis calls Johnny Manziel 'a midget' (AUDIO)

All of the uncertainty surrounding who will be the Browns quarterback when they play the Bengals Sunday has everyone wondering if Cincinnati's game plan will change if Johnny Manziel replaces Brian Hoyer.

Asked if that would be the case during an interview on 700 WLW, Marvin Lewis came back with a short response.

"No ... you've got to defend the offense, you don’t defend the player ... particularly a midget,” said the Bengals head coach.



Wow. We all know Johnny football is smaller than most NFL quarterbacks but come on.

Here's the audio track:




Soon after that interview, Lewis said he was sorry.

"I apologize to Johnny and the Browns and all the fans in Cleveland," Lewis said. "It was just a poor remark. I seriously did not imply anything by it."



It sounds like coach forgot one little segment of the population in his apology.

Johnny 'Football' Manziel stars as Johnny Bravo in cartoon spoof (VIDEO)

Johnny Manziel has always come off as some sort of Saturday cartoon character — whether it was Superman on the field or Jughead in the nightclubs. So it was only natural for Johnny Football to be immortalized in toon form as none other than self-absorbed lunkhead Johnny Bravo.



Manziel took over the quarterback job from Cleveland Browns starter Brian Hoyer on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills and scored his first career NFL touchdown before doing his self-promoting money celebration.

Now here's No. 2 is doing his Money Dance in glorious Cartoon Network colors.



Here's the original Johnny Bravo opening theme song:

Is Jay Z targeting Johnny Manziel as next Roc Nation client?

Could Texas A&M’s star quarterback Johnny Manziel be the next big-name athlete to sign with Jay Z’s Roc Nation Sports?

Speculation soared that Manziel — who might have played his final college game in a thrilling comeback win over Duke in the Chick Fil-A Bowl — could be the next recruit for the rapper-turned-sports agent after the two partied at the same Miami club Thursday with a host of VIPs, reports Page Six of the N.Y. Post.



Jay Z performed earlier at the BB&T Center in Florida, and, after a stop at Diddy’s Star Island mansion, arrived at nightclub Story in South Beach at 2 a.m. with a group including his wife BeyoncĂ©, Drake, Lil Wayne, Busta Rhymes, Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams, Rick Ross, Pharrell Williams, Timbaland and DJ Khaled.

Johnny Football — who reportedly blew off his teammates to party with Drake  — was later spotted hanging in the same VIP area where Jay and company occupied a table.

“He was in Jay’s area at Story,” a source told the gossip site, adding that the star QB arrived “very late” after Jay Z’s posse of 100 — “He may have only been there from 4 to 5 a.m.”Another witness said that when Manziel arrived, he was handed a bottle of Ace of Spades champagne — which goes for $300 retail — and told by a club staffer, “Welcome to the gold-bottle life!” But the source said that Jay Z left just as Manziel arrived and they didn’t interact.



Jay Z knows he must tread carefully around Manziel— a projected first-round draft choice. The agent has already butted heads with the NFL Players Association when, last year, he was singled out for possibly running afoul of league rules in the recruitment of Geno Smith to Roc Nation. But he was cleared of any wrongdoing. Agents are not allowed to recruit college players until they go pro.

Having finished his sophomore season, Manziel’s considered a top NFL recruit, but the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner has yet to declare if he’ll join the league. 

Roc Nation represents Robinson Cano and Victor Cruz and is rumored to be hoping to sign Louisville QB Teddy Bridgewater, who announced his intention to go pro this week. A Roc Nation rep didn’t get back to Page Six.
