Skip Bayless on his Thursday’s “The Skip Bayless Show” went all in for Johnny Manziel. Bayless dug deeper into the controversial 2022 FCF’s People’s Champion winner life through his YouTube channel and gave some honest remarks. Bayless spoke in apparent frustration, “Yet as Johnny points out from the start his motto was win or lose we booze!” This didn’t go down well with Bayless as his emotions turned to rage and anger.
Bayless further continued “In what came clear to me from the start Johnny only played football to party. As he said he developed an alter ego of Johnny, pardon my language, Johnny fu***ng football!” Bayless seemed like a concerned father whose own son had gone down the bad track.
His tone changed to desperation and was surely aghast as to what had become of the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner. He further stressed that the more games Manziel played and started in, he got more leverage to star in the party and consume booze. However, there were some other startling revelations that came through the docuseries.
