Johnny Manziel Is So Damn Obnoxious You Should Love Him
By the usual measurements, this is one of those vapid, empty-calorie stories about a first round draft pick playing footsie with a team official on draft day: "Johnny Manziel texts coach 'come get me'."

NFL Writers Are Mad At Michael Sam Because NFL Writers Are Clowns
Of the four major American sports, the NFL has the bitchiest and most territorial media, who arrogate for themselves certain rights of access that they decry when granted to someone outside the fraternity. They're dogs who snarl when the cat takes their place on the owner's lap....
