What
do I find in today’s sports’ briefs? Why
more trouble for Johnny Football, of course.
It seems Mr. Manziel was the subject of a helicopter search by Texas
authorities over the last 48 hours.
Manziel may have assaulted an ex-girlfriend. Johnny, Johnny, Johnny.
Why
can’t you be more like the Blackhawks’ Patrick Kane? I’m serious.
Kane was involved in a sexual assault case over the summer that, lucky
for Kane, didn’t lead to an indictment.
Since then, the Hawks’ winger has had a season where’s he’s scored
points in 26 straight games, a franchise record; put himself on a pace for 50
goals, which in hockey-speak is Babe Ruth territory; and could end up as the
first American-born player to lead the league in scoring. Not that I would want him dating my daughter.
But
Kane has done one of two things—come to Jesus or compartmentalized his life,
with no intention of opening up the dangerous door anytime soon. Either way, good for him. As for Manziel, he’s now at a point in his
career where fans will wish him ill, which is bad enough. But he also may be at a point where his
teammates just won’t care, as in “You want a sack? Here, let me step aside. Or I could just knock our quarterback down
for you, if that’ll help.”
The
bottom of an NFL pile is not the bed you want to be sleeping in.
