Losing a Legend

GRRRRREATNESS, HAS LEFT COLLEGE FOOTBALL.

I know greatness when I see it, my wife (Saints-wife), my daughter (Saints-nuggett) and the New Orleans Saints Football Organization. However even though I have no affiliation with this person, Johnny Manziel is simply great, not only with his play on the field but he EPITOMIZES what college football is all about. The excitement, the revelry, the pageantry, and game day experience is what Johnny Football took to levels that were unheard of. Not since Michael Vick has there been an electric eight football player that I can remember, ON the field. Well Johnny football had many off the field transgressions, he still is a kid and he had fun doing it all the way. He acted like any other 19 or 20 year-old boy would have in College. He's really no different than you or me, he just didn't hide from how much fun he was really having.

As you know, I've always preferred the NFL over college. Not because of the teams I'll follow but because the playoff system and ranking in the preseason, which I believe is totally BUNK. When I try to stay (watching) college football, I always lose myself in November if my teams bow out, which leads up to another meaningless bowl season (for big enchilada). But Johnny changed my College Football perception these last several years as I did not care who he played against  whether it was Rice, Sam Houston State or even downtrodden Arkansas, I was glued to the television set just to see what he would do. I got to see Johnny football in person when they played Louisiana Tech in the epic Louisiana Tech come back game not only to see Johnny football work his magic and pull out of victory.  I saw close up on the sidelines at Kyle Field Johnny football take on LSU, while LSU won. Johnny football did EVERYTHING under the sun to win the ball game. He is a Baller. Jamison Winston was thought to be the next phenom in college football in 2013, however he is only as good as his complementary parts. Johnny has done so much with so less and still makes the players around him (on his team) look like all conference stars.

The SEC as well as most of the nation will be graduating and losing a lot of junior, senior and QB stars to the NFL next season, so DEFENSE will probably take center stage in 2014. Texas A&M will be hit the hardest as they will be irrelevant and no better than Ole Miss or Mississippi State for decades to come. Yes I went there, Johnny made that much of an impact. So to all you haters of the NFL out there, when you're tired of seeing the same ole same ole, jump on the NFL bandwagon as we got room for you. Johnny football will make the NFL take notice next year with his theatrics. Unlike RG3, Johnny has the football Gods on his side.  I pray he does not go to Oakland or Cleveland.  The Houston Texans must nut up and TAKE him with the number 1 pick. It is his hometown area and a short 4 Hour Dr to Houston for Ed Hardy to make and see the Legend continue.

Ed Hardy out!
