Manziel said he let his “guard down a little bit” and went out Friday night with friends who were visiting from Kerrville, Texas. When he was late for his treatment Saturday, the Browns sent security personnel to his home.

He could be a punk in college and get away with it because he was awesome. People aren’t going to put up with it if he isn’t performing.
