Report: Johnny Manziel Threw Party Friday; Browns Sent Security To Find Him Saturday
Johnny Manziel couldn’t wait just one more week to throw a party. The Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback was fined for being late for treatment for his injured hamstring on Saturday, and Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports has the reason for his tardiness. According to La Canfora, Manziel threw a big party on Friday night that was “attended by many members of the club,” although names were not disclosed. It is unclear if Josh Gordon, who was suspended for the Browns’ Week 17 game against the Baltimore Ravens for violating team rules and was also absent from Saturday’s walkthrough, was at Johnny Football’s rager. LaCanfora added the Browns had to send security to
Report: Browns Beat Out Vikings For Johnny Manziel On Draft Night
by Zack Cox on Fri, May 9, 2014 at 8:51AM The Minnesota Vikings walked away from Round 1 of the 2014 NFL draft with a new quarterback, Louisville’s Teddy Bridgewater. But Bridgewater reportedly was not Minnesota’s first choice at the position. Jay Glazer of FOX Sports reported Thursday night that the Vikings attempted to trade up with the Philadelphia Eagles in order to draft Texas A&M’s Johnny Manziel at No. 22 overall, but that the Cleveland Browns offered the Eagles a better package for the pick. It’s unclear what the Vikings offered the Eagles for the 22nd selection, but the Browns were able to secure it by sending the 26th overall pick along with a third-rounder (No. 83) to Philly. Minnesota was successful on its
Report: Joe Paterno’s Health in ‘Rapid Decline,’ As Former Penn State Coach Receives Daily Cancer Treatment
by Mike Cole on Wed, Dec 7, 2011 at 8:42PM When news broke of Joe Paterno's cancer was diagnosed with cancer last month, Paterno's family went to great measures to ensure that the cancer was "treatable," and that Paterno's doctors were "optimistic he will make a full recovery." That sounds like it may have changed. SportsByBrooks reports that the former Penn State head coach, who was fired amid the ongoing Jerry Sandusky scandal, has seemingly took a turn for the worst. Brooks cited a "Penn State athletic department official" who told him that Paterno, 84, is seeing a rapid decline in his health. "Joe is a lot closer to dying soon than the public is aware. It is very bad," a Penn
Report: Celtics Offered Rajon Rondo, Jeff Green for Russell Westbrook, Kendrick Perkins After Last Season
by Mike Cole on Tue, Nov 29, 2011 at 11:59PM How's this for weird? ESPN's Chris Broussard tweeted an interesting failed trade proposal that Celtics president Danny Ainge reportedly offered the Oklahoma City Thunder after last season. According to Broussard, the C's offered the Thunder point guard Rajon Rondo and forward Jeff Green in exchange for point guard Russell Westbrook and center Kendrick Perkins. Trading Rondo, one of the franchise's cornerstones would raise eyebrows as it is. However, the fact that this trade would bring Perkins, who was traded at the deadline in a deal that brought Green to Boston, is the real eye-opener in this scenario. Alas, Oklahoma City was not interested in Ainge's proposal. Rondo has been the subject of plenty of

Report: Marlins, Other Major League Teams Believe Albert Pujols Is Actually Older Than He Claims
While money is generally the biggest issue in contract talks, the Miami Marlins are concerned with another number when it comes to prized free agent Albert Pujols. Dan Le Batard of the Miami Herald wrote on Sunday that the Marlins are set on offering a nine-year deal to Pujols, although they, and other teams, are skeptical of the longtime Cardinals slugger's real age. "The total dollars are in dispute, depending on whom you believe, but the number of years offered is not," Le Batard reports. "Nine years. That's insanity, especially since, like a lot of teams, the Marlins believe Pujols to be older than the 31 he claims to be." Pujols, who has spent 11 years in the majors, entered the league in 2001, at
