No Johnny Manziel did not throw a wild party at his lavish Cleveland apartment. So yes all of us media and pundits were wrong to accuse Manziel of making all his teammates late Saturday morning.
But Manziel did party–he partied hard TMZ says–with three or four other friends at Barley House in Cleveland until 1:30 AM on Saturday morning.
Johnny’s crew sat in VIP most of the night and if not for one efficient fan, would have escaped the evening unfazed. This photo below clearly looks like Manziel–who has that I know I should have my ass at home look on his face.
That is Manziel, but is the photo from Friday night, or another evening that the young quarterback may have chosen to walk down the street from his apartment to a local pub near the Cavs arena.
If it was Friday night, then why address the media and vehemently deny throwing a mega party, when you were indeed out partying anyway. Does the fact that he didn’t host the event clear him of any wrong doing? No, and it makes him look worse, because his last bit of public embarassment came when he was arriving home from a late night of partying.
