No autographs by the pool! Johnny Manziel Threw a Water Bottle at a Fan
BY SEAN FITZ-GERALD
Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel, aka Johnny Football, got pissed and allegedly threw a water bottle at an obnoxious, trash-talking fan who was harassing him this weekend, the Akron Beacon Journal reports. No charges were filed and no arrests were made, according to authorities. Here's what happened: Manziel and friends were having fun, living their lives, hanging out Saturday afternoon at the Four Seasons in Irving, Texas, where they were staying for the AT&T Byron Nelson golf tournament.
A dedicated autograph seeker, who had been aggressively badgering Manziel, crashed the group's pool-area pow-wow and crossed some sort of line after Manziel reportedly denied to give him what he craved for.
"At the point that the [18-year-old] kid realized he wasn't going to get an autograph, I don't know exactly what he said, but apparently it must have been some type of trash talking," an Irving police spokesman told the Journal. ESPN adds that the kid had been following Manziel and his crew around all day, grabbing at Manziel and heckling him with petty insults. The one that sent him over the edge, according to one of Manziel's friends, was: "Good luck never starting in the NFL." That's when, reports say, Johnny Water Bottle blew up and threw his 32-ounce water bottle. It was about three-quarters full(!). One of Manziel's friends also pushed the fan—in the name of separating the fan from Johnny—right before hotel security and nearby police officers came to break up the tussle and force both parties to leave the area....BY SEAN FITZ-GERALD
