You are embarrassed over Johnny? That's what I mean about this being blown out of proportion. As with most things, only the negative sensational stuff gets covered. Here are a couple of good things he has done that I bet you won't hear about on sportscenter.

Again, he is nothing like Tim Tebow. On of off the field. I would compare him to Russell Wilson in Seattle or Colin Kaepernick in San Francisco, even though Kaepernick is much taller. They play the same style of football as Johnny. And with Philadelphia hiring Chip Kelly as their new head coach tells me that more teams in the NFL are going to try some version of a hurry up offense. And hopefully Johnny, if the doesn't do something really stupid and/or illegal, will find the right team that will use his skills effectively. I know he has done some stupid stuff and I was yelling at my TV yesterday when he got that penalty too. Why give people more ammunition to use against you right? But again it's being blown way out of proportion
I agree that it is out of proportion. But it is still so ill advised that you would think this kid would listen to advice to SHUT UP, keep his head down and just PLAY BALL!!!!
We all know that when you give the press 1 inch, they ail fabricate a mile...The whole crap with the "alleged" autograph sales...bore NO evidence. The acuusers were little more than crack dealers. I get it...
But - when you are center stage, and young - geez Louise son - just shut up and play ball! We ( A&M) have a history of being perennial underdogs. Use THAT as your incentive to WIN....Not under age drinking at parties. Not getting thrown out of frat parties on the UT campus!!!!! ( love the love of Pete...the ENEMY???REALLY Johnny???)
I am still embarrassed by him Pops - because WE have a right to expect a leader, a Heiseman winner, and - an Aggie to be BETTER THAN THAT......
It has been too #$%^&* long since John David Crow. And I did not want Johnny M. to treat this like a personal party. Has some pride. Have some dignity. have some CLASS.
