Another Spring Football Next Year

Looks like the Memphis Express are about to make the same mistake the Als did - rushing Manziel into action on a terrible team probably in the hopes of boosting their average attendance of 12,000 and quite possibly ending up with similar results including a quick fading of interest in Manziel.

General manager Will Lewis says that Manziel could play on Sunday when the Memphis squad hosts the Birmingham Iron – just over a week after signing with the club. ...

Why would the Express run him out there so quickly? Well, the Express are 1-5 and on the verge of being eliminated from playoff contention (only four of the eight teams make the post-season.) The team’s quarterback situation is, uh, unsettled after Christian Hackenberg was garbage and Zach Mettenberger got hurt. They also have three home games left and are averaging just over 12,000 fans a game in two games so far.

I predict Manziel and Memphis will have similar results as Montreal did. Oh and why did Popp not acquire Manziel??? He could have been an Argo...good career move going to the AAF....😉
