Sir how dare you call into question the character of a man that was such a pillar of the cockfighting community that he has an entire breed (? Strain? Flight? No idea wtf you can them) named after him? One can only imagine the amount of cock blood that was spilled in trailer parks, hostel parcels, flea markets, swap meets and Klan rallies across east Texas and western Louisiana on his behalf to have been bestowed such an honour... that is an outrage. 

I say again sir how dare you...

He ain't lyin', Johnny Football's Grandfather Was "Cockfighting World Champion in 1983"

If CHANEL is a “supermodel”, how is JUSSIE not a “super actor”?

The title of ”supermodel” is handed out as casually as Halloween candy and “porn star.”

I am opposed to the overhyping. 

At least Johnny isn’t listed as an “NFL Star”, though “Former” or “Briefly a” should be in front of the “NFL” part.

Nope, not a "he dead" thread bump.

Johnny "Who better to set a fine example" Manziel is mentoring Diego Pavia.

Johnny Manziel has advice for Diego Pavia: Be fearless on the field, not off

Quote

 

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Diego Pavia and Johnny Manziel have become fast friends in Nashville, with Manziel playing the role of both mentor and hype man for Vanderbilt’s breakout quarterback.

“I’m like, ‘Learn from my mistakes, brother. Learn from Johnny. Don’t be Johnny off the field.’ I had so much opportunity and so much shit and threw it away. Diego’s young and lit, and it’s easy in that position to get out of control. But I’m trying to give him the best advice I can.” —Johnny Manziel

Manziel plans to be on the Vanderbilt sideline Saturday in a No. 2 jersey when the No. 16 Commodores face No. 10 Alabama in Tuscaloosa, the first time since 1937 the two teams meet as ranked opponents. “I beat them once. Diego’s got a chance to beat them twice. That’s the kind of shit they build statues for,” Manziel said.

For Pavia, who grew up admiring Manziel’s fearless style, the friendship has been surreal. “I see Johnny as a friend now, a brother. I really love that dude,” Pavia said. “He’s been there, and sometimes I will tell him my plans … and he’s like, ‘Nah, don’t do that. That’s some shit Johnny would have done in 2012.’”

The parallels are clear. Pavia has become the face of Vanderbilt’s rise, turning down multimillion-dollar NIL deals to stay and even taking less to help upgrade the offensive line. “He’s not scared of anything,” Manziel said. “If you want to be that fucking dog, you have to be a savage. There is no fear. Diego has no fear.”

Clark Lea, in his fifth year at his alma mater, calls Pavia “misfit number one” and credits his confidence for changing the program’s culture. Pavia has accounted for 15 touchdowns and has Vanderbilt off to its first 5-0 start since 2008.

Manziel isn’t missing this week’s showdown: “I land in Tuscaloosa at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday and will be ready,” he said. “So will Diego.”

Diego has a chance to be a legend at Vandy if he just considers every decision from the JFF-opposite perspective. WWJFFD? Do the opposite.
