As of this Tuesday, former Texas Aggie “Johnny Football” Manziel is expected to start his first professional game this coming Sunday: Browns vs. Bengals. Hearing comments from sports-minded people, seeing what’s posted on the web, I’m amazed at how many people there are who don’t like Manziel. It even seems to border on hatred. Why? Because Manziel is a maverick individualist and a nonconformist with a screw-you attitude? In my book, those are admirable traits. Joe Namath was, after all, my favorite football hero growing up. That was why, for opposite reasons, I could never grow fond of Roger Staubach or Bart Starr – too much play by the rules. I’m rooting for Kenny “The Snake” Stabler, not Heidi’s little goody-two-shoes brother.
