Michael Irvin: I will work with Johnny Manziel; Cowboys should help save him

[GimmeTheBall!]

Somebody drug test Mike...Please

Mike, you don't want any part of this!

Anything I can do to help. Good Samaritan that I am. Taking recreational accelerants, being young and stupid are things that can be fixed. Or at least managed to be portrayed in a less negative way, see Joe Namath, Don Meredith, Snake Stabler and Brett Favre.

But taking a chance on football players who just win, especially for pennies on the dollar, seems like a no brainer to me. Irvin can relate to the troubled but talented Manziel. Garrett cannot. Garrett was never as talented nor as driven. Guys like Irvin are born with predispositions that demands winning and nothing else. Garrett is too composed and mild to understand players who's engines run hot all the time.

why do you mention Favre? all he did was dip snuff.

Playmaker....Johnny did NOT work hard to get where he is at...That is his whole problem and why he does not care. He had money before and he will have money after.

Love ya playmaker but on this one...NO...NO NO NO

Yeah... He. Is fortunate 2x re: money.

I would not give any more chances.
Kick rocks.

You write that like it is a bad thing.

I don't want either Manziel or Bob Griffin but if I have to choose, I will take Manziel.

 

[cowboyblue22]

Former Dallas Cowboys receiver Michael Irvin joined Rich Eisen to chat about Johnny Manziel.

Manziel is expected to be released by the Cleveland Browns in March, and Irvin would love to see the former Texas A&M Aggies star in a Cowboys uniform.

"I love the game of football and the game of football saves lives," Irvin said. "If you can get a young guy, Johnny Manziel won aHeisman Trophy at 18-19 years old. He is still growing up. I don't know why we think if a guy can throw a football it makes him the most mature person in the world. There will come a time when he will cross over that threshold and become a great football playerm and I am willing to workwith him on that and I hope the Cowboys do get him.

"I know this kid has worked hard to get where he is. Let's give the kid another shot, he lands in a better spot and get around the right kind of people. Help him become a better football player and a better man. That's what the game of football does."

You are truly a lost cause when Irvin is offering to help straighten you out

 

[Gaede]

I actually agree with Mike.

Regardless of how you feel about Manziel, at least our team won't be as mind blowingly boring to follow

And ...blimey! I didn't know that!
I thought the dimness and slow speech were, um, well regional.
You know . . . you think you know someone and then, kablooey! my naïveté is brought to the fore. I mustn't be so trusting. Well, no more talking to strangers for me on the Manchester transit!

Says it all.

Yes it does.

 

[CCBoy]

Yes it does.

The liquor store guy said that Dog, the bounty hunter, has him on quick dial.

 

[The Quest for Six]

Shut up Michael Irvin!

 

[muck4doo]

Johnny would end up getting Mike on the coke again

 

[mattjames2010]

Wannabe preacher Irvin speaks again. Stick to being a talking head Michael.

Michael Irvin: The most unqualified American to offer advice on saving anybody. Irvin is a carnival barker, a mental midget and, on his very best day, an almost average football analyst.

Having said that, he was a heck of a WR, an icon of Cowboys lore.

AND WHEN DID THE COWBOYS BECOME A REHAB UNIT??????????????????????

Good day, blokes! I'm off to shoot darts at the Cat & the Fiddle and then have pot roast and ale at Ben's Pub and Bookstore.
Cheers!

I respectfully disagree because he saved the most important person - himself.

Man this will be an interesting FA.

What would Manziel be here? A b/u QB. Why in the hell would any team want to bring in a guy who will get more media coverage than the rest of our players combined for a b/u QB? Why would any team think he's going to come in, study his play book, watch film and stay clean when he couldn't do that to keep his spot as a starting QB? You're b/u is supposed to be a guy who knows his role, stays quiet, works hard and is prepared to step in at any time. Manziel can't be depended upon to do any of those things, is probably one incident away from a suspension and to top it all off he's a horrible fit for this offense. If the Cowboys sign/trade for this idiot I take back any and everything I've said about the improvements from the FO. It will prove its still a clown show with very little chance of success until Jerry leaves and possibly much longer because S. Jones will be in on that awful decision. Stay the hell away from this team Manziel.

Hey Michael if you love the kid so much adopt him, stop trying to get every headcase on our team, we are not a charity organization. Why don't you help him now? Why wait until he's under contract with the Cowboys? Do you even care about him or do you just want to see your name in the news? Shut up Michael, nobody cares anymore. You're not the Cowboys spokesperson, you're just a guy on NFL Network trying to make some money living off of the Cowboys name.
