Over the years since being a bust first-round pick for the Cleveland<\/a> Browns<\/a>, quarterback Johnny Manziel has continuously made headlines by talking down on the franchise. In his latest act, he joined the Nightcap podcast with Chad \u201cOchocinco\u201d Johnson and Shannon Sharpe to take another dig<\/a> at the Browns:<\/p>\n

\u201cI go back and forth with, do I let Cleveland off the hook or do I sit here with hate and animosity for the rest of my life? And I decided I\u2019m going to hate them forever,\u201d said Manziel.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo love for the Browns. I\u2019m rooting for 0-16 every season.\u201d<\/p>\n

During his time with the Browns, the former Heisman winner quickly earned a reputation for frequent off-field partying, a lack of commitment in meetings and practices, and more. His disastrous stint ended his Cleveland and NFL career with a 2-6 record as a starting quarterback and only seven games with passing touchdowns with seven interceptions. Despite the Browns being the apparent problem, Manziel never received another NFL opportunity due to his attitude and poor performance.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s even the story of Manziel wearing a disguise to visit Las Vegas<\/a> while in the concussion protocol, causing him to miss a Sunday morning check-in with the team’s medical staff. Throughout his time in Cleveland, he showed nothing but irresponsibility and a lack of dedication to making it in the NFL. He\u2019s said this multiple times<\/p>\n

Manziel also displayed his current lack of knowledge of the NFL in this clip, saying he wants the Browns \u201cto go 0-16 every year,\u201d even though they play 17 games in 2025. His hate is also odd considering he once texted the Browns\u2019 staff to \u201churry up and draft me\u201d <\/a>during his 2014 NFL Draft slide. This latest media stunt is just another example of Manziel failing to take responsibility for his own poor decisions during his time as a Cleveland Brown.<\/p>\n
