(NFL) Johnny Manziel - Honest Interview

Ya, hits home for me. Obviously, I was never famous like Johnny but it was like he was telling my story. Let down a whole lot of people in my time including myself. Second half of life is all about the road to redemption.

Always liked the guy. Biggest problem I ever had with him was that he never made it.

Just watched a bunch of his highlights the other day. Was certainly entertaining to watch him play.

What's up, Mpas? Happy 2025.

I see your tagline. Good year for Navy. They beat Army and also win the Bowl.

Hey Chucky…how’s it going? Sorry for the late response, just don’t make it to the site that often.

2025 is going well so far. Already one trip to Vegas that was profitable, so I can’t complain. Depending on work/life, I may try and get out for a WSOP event in June. We will see.

Hope all is well with you.

I'd like to get there for WSOP this year too.

Hey, Mpas. I made it out there last year. Played some tournaments with a buddy.

Played in the the $1500 6-max tournament. Did OK, made some hands, didn't feel mis-matched against the pros. About three hands I mis-played. Easy to say at the time. My exit hand was a pretty bad punt.

If I make it out there again this summer, I'll cross paths with you. First round on me.

Sounds good…I’ll keep you posted once my plans firm up.

Salud, Mpas. Have a great year.

Remember this line from THE SHINING?
"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy"

I assume you will plan around the seniors. I'll make sure I keep a big block free around that time.

Opti, in speaking to some of the good poker players, they view the Senior events as good value.

That’s probably the tournament I will mainly target (Senior’s Event).

I’m actually planning the summer family vacation today. Shooting to do that in August. Therefore June would remain open. Just now need to make sure work is clear after that.

Have heard from several players that they view the Senior events as being soft. You're going to need a fake-ID to sign up.

Johnny is full of shit. He’s still in Scottsdale blowing rails and partying.

Ha-ha, maybe he's just looking for some sympathy. I say him at a card-show, and he barely looked recognizable. Certainly didn't have the frame of a pro athlete.

Who knows with these guys! I wish him the best.
