"Arrr, after them Browns picked me, I found me heart sunk deeper than Davy Jones' locker—depression be a cruel sea!"

Arrr, mateys! Johnny Manziel be spillin’ his guts 'bout his scallywag struggles with the bottle and the black dog o' despair, chattin’ with landlubbers and fellow souls fightin’ their demons at the University o' Alabama this fine Monday. Aye, 'tis a tale worth hearin’, full o' laughs 'n' lessons!
Arrr mateys, gather 'round as I spin ye a yarn 'bout a scallywag named Johnny Manziel, who once sailed the high seas of college football glory, only to find hisself adrift in the deep waters of despair! In the year of our Lord, 2014, this lad strutted onto the grand stage of Radio City Music Hall, all flashy-like after bein' drafted by the Cleveland Browns. But alas, instead of treasures and cheer, he found nothin’ but a heavy heart filled with gloom!Though he had gold and fame like a captain with his plunder, he felt emptier than a shipwrecked sailor! He turned to the bottle and the devil’s dust to lift his spirits, but those only led him further into the abyss. In less than a blink of an eye, the lad went from bein' a Heisman hero to a cautionary tale. With a record of 2-6, his name became synonymous with woe instead of victory!
Even the old sea captain, Coach Pettine, admitted he didn’t see the storm brewing in Manziel’s heart. After a rough journey, he vowed to chart a new course for a sober life, leavin’ behind the grog and the coke. Now, he be takin’ to the seas of podcastin’ as a wise ol’ analyst. So, let this be a lesson, ye landlubbers: riches and fame don’t fill the void, but a steady ship and a clear mind just might! Yarrr!
