mjp28 Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 USA TODAY Sports' Lorenzo Reyes discusses Johnny Manziel's roller-coaster football career and his opportunity with the CFL's Hamilton Tiger-Cats. USA TODAY SPORTS Johnny Manziel has been traded by the Canadian Football League's Hamilton Tiger-Cats to the Montreal Alouettes. The Tiger-Cats and Alouettes announced Sunday the multi-player deal that included the 2012 Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback. Johnny Manziel was a backup for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in what is his first season in the CFL. DEREK LEUNG, GETTY IMAGES Stuck behind incumbent quarterback Jeremiah Masoli on the Tiger-Cats' depth chart, Manziel was relegated to backup duty in his first season in the CFL. In Montreal, however, Manziel will be reunited with coach Mike Sherman, whose final season at Texas A&M was also Manziel's redshirt season in 2011. Sherman is in his first season with the Alouettes. The Alouettes are off to a 1-4 start this season and have scored the fewest number of points (69) while allowing a league-high 148 points. The other quarterbacks on the Alouettes' roster include Vernon Adams Jr., Drew Willy, Jeff Mathews and Matthew Shiltz. Adams was recently signed by the Alouettes. Adams — who played collegiately at Oregon and Eastern Washington — started his CFL career in Montreal before joining the Saskatchewan Roughriders in 2017. Willy was forced to leave the Alouettes' latest game — a 25-8 loss to the Calgary Stampeders on Saturday — with a hand injury. Mathews is out with a foot injury. Shiltz, the third-string QB, Shiltz played the final three quarters against the Stampeders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjp28 Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 .........continued........ Montreal acquired Manziel and offensive linemen Tony Washington and Landon Rice from the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in exchange for defensive end Jamaal Westerman, wide receiver Chris Williams and first-round draft picks in 2020 and 2021. Manziel is trying to resurrect his professional football career in the CFL after more than two years away from the game. After a decorated career at Texas A&M, Manziel was a first-round draft pick by the Cleveland Browns in 2014. During two seasons in Cleveland, Manziel started eight games, but off-the-field issues, including substance abuse and a domestic-violence case, led to his release.

mjp28 Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 Oh and if any of you were interested..... The name Alouette is a girl's name of French origin meaning "lark". Alouette and is often added to lists like Bird Baby Names and discussed in our forums with posts like "The Makeover Baby Name Game". From the experts: Alouette is a sweet Gallic twist in the stylish bird name genre made familiar via the charming Frenchchildren's song, Alouette, gentile alouette.....

He is given new life with Sherman. Manziel & Evans used to tear up Sherman's starting defense as the scout team when they redshirted as true freshmen. We were hearing all kinds of rumors about what was coming from the A&M practice field, which is where the JFF legend started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjp28 Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 Last night on......of all things.....ESPN SEC REWIND I saw the T A&M at Alabama game and the high point of Mr. Johnny Football's football career. 29-24 final, the Freshman Heisman and everyone prematurely making him the best quarterback ever!

Dang French- I had always wondered what the heck that song was about, hearing it dozens of times as a kid. I can navigate around a Bordeaux bottle when I see it printed, Mis en bouteilles a chateau. But when you start slurring stuff in a song forget it. Nero knows my Spanish is much better, but still mostly only when I see it printed. Can hack my way through a newspaper.

mjp28 Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 Wow I didn't realize that the former (about) 16 team league in 2003 was so bad off.....and further the decline of American football at all levels, I quit watching it years back. Had a PA buddy follow the Pittsburgh Gladiators in their one season around 1986. And the new IFL.....The Indoor Football League (IFL) is a professional indoor American footballleague created in 2008 out of the merger between the Intense Football League and United Indoor Football. The league is the second highest tier in indoor/arena football behind the Arena Football League (AFL).[citation needed] IFL players earn a minimum of US$250 per game played (before taxes). The season is typically about 14 games long, plus playoffs of two or more rounds...... T.O. was involved in that? Six or so teams? Never followed it at all.

The Gipper Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 further the decline of American football at all levels, I think this is a way off base statement by you. Just because people don't want to watch bastardized football does not mean football is declining. Quite the opposite. It seems that two new football leagues are cropping up: https://aaf.com/ The Alliance of American Football....starting Feb 9, 2019. 8 teams in southern cities. (too pussy to play in the north in winter) Lots of big names associated with it. Polian and others. Games to be shown on CBS. Cities include Phoenix, San Diego, San Antonio, Salt Lake, Birmingham, Atlanta, Orlando, Memphis. (only 2 current NFL cities) And there is the potential for the nex XFL in 2020. Owned as you know by Vince McMahon.....but Oliver Luck...Andrew Luck's Dad, from Cleveland, has been named its new Commish. https://www.cbssports.com/wwe/news/this-is-the-xfl-again-controversial-football-league-set-to-return-in-2020/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
