Manziel stiff-arms Heisman ceremony over Bush

Former Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel, who won the 2012 Heisman Trophy, said he will no longer attend the award's annual celebration in solidarity with 2005 winner Reggie Bush, who was stripped of the award.

He broke the rules that were in place and got caught. The rules may not be the same, now. Curious as to what you guys think.

I think Johnny wants attention

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

He has a point.

Might as well give it back. Everyone already recognizes him as the winner

 

[RDU VOL#14]

I think he should get it back on account that
“He didn’t Murder his wife”

I agree with both of the above statements.

I’ve often thought that too. Same as the national championship win and vacated NC and games of other teams.

Did Bush break the rules? Yes. Did that change what he did on the field in any way? Absolutely not. There is no reason why Bush shouldn’t have his Heisman.

Who cares? That trophy is trash anyway.

Possibly the ceremony stopped having an open bar.

When someone with documented poor decision making issues makes a valid point.

I agree he has a point. The whole “I'm boycotting the ceremony” move is him making it about Johnny. Ain't nobody GAF if he attends.

The Downtown Athletic Club: "And to think we were going to give Reggie his Heisman back, but if all it takes to keep that moran Manziel away is to not return it, Reggie is never getting it back.

I’m sure they were just floored they wouldn’t have to deal with a drunk entitled douche bag.

Manziel is an interesting case. When I hear things he says, and see how how he comes off in interviews, he seems like a guy who has grown up somewhat but hasn't actually grown up.

I think that deep down he's still the entitled punk frat boy that he was in college, but now that he's in his 30s he doesn't have quite the energy to hang anymore like he used to, or he doesn't have the enabling circle of friends to party with like he used to because he's out of the spotlight. If he became really famous again, there's no doubt he'd go right back to his college/early NFL days.

Did Johnny Football tweet that from his line cook job at Taco Bell.

 

[OrangeVolMan]

Manziel found out there was no appearance fee for showing up so this is his excuse for not showing up.

Maybe they should consider stripping Manziel of his Heisman too.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

He does have a point.

He also wants attention and probably looking to get invited to some talk shows and podcasts to get back in the spolight becaues nobody cares about the crappy indoor football league he plays in.

Yes.

Yes.

I think they should make the decision to give it back. Then Bush should say nah I’m good.

Reggie broke rules that existed at the time...but he's the one who got caught, and I would guess there are several other guilty Heisman trophy winners. I understand making an example of him, but what is the point after the rule no longer exists? They proved their point, and there is no more point to the point. Going back on the decision costs them nothing. Most young people will like it. Some old people will not. I think this is an easy choice, TBH.
