So true. Always knew he had a big heart by the way he played early on. It's sad that he forgot where he came from until now. At least he may be able to help others by sharing his ordeal.
Making Johnny feel comfortable and not confronted by “gotcha” questions allowed us to hear the struggle we are now learning from. This type of interview leads to not only the betterment of Johnny, but also those that watch it. Accountability will always be a struggle with ego, but that doesn’t mean you can’t overcome. This was awesome and I wish nothing but the best for Johnny and Shay.
His honesty don't change the fact that he was way too soft for professional football It's honestly a miracle someone as mentally weak as him made it as far as he did
As an addict whos gotten my life back together but still harbors regret eventho the people ive wronged saying i dont need to feel regret over the past. I can totally relate to what johnny feels. Mad respect for the man he has become
my dorm wing had a bunch of football players on it. the girls they got were unreal. I'm talking even tuesday nights it was a party. even the backup players. just having the jersey in a power 5 conference you have that kind of status.
He sure has matured. The ESPN doc was also really powerful. Rooting for him in life! To make it through all the extreme highs and lows and still be around to talk about it with humility....what a journey! Mad respect.
It would probably surprise you quite a bit you if you knew how many people can easily and clearly see what's going on with you It's a LOT i can assure you However they just don't care Nor should they
2 years intensive therapy, I'm 13 years sober, and I lost 111lbs, I didn't have access to millions of dollars, nice homes and the best treatment centers money can buy. It can be done
Respect to Johnny Football for taking accountability for everything. That is rare in this day and age. He’ll always be one of the most exciting college fb players ever.
Got respect his raw honesty to taking ownership of his mistakes and self aware of the opportunities lost. It’s kind of refreshing because most people just make excuses
I been where Johnny is my BM keeping my son from me when I do everything, man I been "partying" by myself for 6 years it's a terrible cycle, but idk people always wanna tear others down but I won't be defeated got me messed up I am a functional alcoholic but still an alcoholic but I won't stop providing for my kid I won't give up like Johnny said "it's on our shoulders" this guy has turned into a man love ya Johnny keep moving forward
Man this is why so many players loved and appreciated Josh McCown. To go to the DC after Manziel told him what he said to show support to Johnny and call the DC out for the BS he said to a young player, even with the demons Johnny was facing, shows he views his teammates as people and not just players. Such Character! You dont have to be a hall of famer or superbowl winner to be a true champion in life. And McCown is an example of that.
Great interview I'm following this young man in his career. I always wandered over the last few years. Whatever happened to him. Good luck, Johnny on your journey. Once we acknowledge what we have to, we do better.
This Man will make it , he accepted all responsibility for his own actions. Hard thing to accept even harder to admit to the world. Best of luck Mr. Manziel hopefully those days are behind you forever. Demons will always be there keep beating just like you have been doing. Never let anyone bring you down young man you figured it out keep doing it. Mad Respect, keep on going!!!
J Manziel.... totally appreciate you opening up... 🙏 Thank you!!!! For sharing... Shannon, u are a beast! Thank YOU for starting your own channel.... I know how hard it is to play qb... Because i gave up at my local jc.... I really like to say i didnt have the passion for the every day demand of practice of getting better, WHEN I WAS YOUNG.. But I regret it now.... Even if i wouldve just been a backup... I regret not dedicating myself to football....
I have so much more respect for this guy now....I can honestly say I am a fan of this guy...It takes a man to stand up and own up to his reality...RESPECT TO YOU JOHNNY M...
I watched the whole interview. I love me some Johnny Manziel. He didn’t always do everything right but he’s accountable for his actions and never points the finger that somebody else.😊
Went from hating this guy's alter ego to crying for his pain. There's no worse feeling than truly letting down the people who love you. Pray for nothing but the best for everyone who is going through it.
In the past it always felt like he just said things to get the heat off his shoulders.. but this entire thing felt genuine. I remember being in Highschool and Johnny Football was all the hype. Good times..
I appreciate Johnny focus on himself and his well being! I wish him all the best and hopefully he finds someone to love and have his own family!❤ great interview!
As a Browns fan I really wanted Johnny to take us to the promise land but that didn't happen and I'm really happy he is doing better for himself good luck dawg😊
Shannon is killing it right now with these interviews rolling and rolling... I honestly think it was when he got away from that bitter hater Skip Bayless, that was when he really went on overdrive being so successful
its hard to turn down that corporate money. look at all the people ESPN laid off last year, they went from making millions to nothing. Shannon really beat the odds.
Even though JM"s personal story is his own, the story shows that with maturity and the will to move forward, one can beat the odds and come out on the other side better.
I worked @ Texas A&M College Back In 2012 When Johnny Went There... I Personally Worked In There Area Of The Gym And Locker Rooms... He Was Solid Until He Wasn't. *Fame* He Couldn't Handle It!! *MYRECIEPTS* ARE VIVID💯 *Kevin Sumlin* was the Coach back then.
Big Ups to my high school QB Jameill Showers out of Shoemaker High in Killleen, Texas. Texas A&M Aggie , UTEP Miner, and Dallas Cowboy ‼️ Shout outs to Johnny Football for always being a real one ran into him in the the night life in College Station when i was at Prairie View A&M University‼️
U know my son was pretty good @ 🏈 and 🏀 when he was younger. NO JOHNNY 🏈, but good enough 2 literally show up, score multiple touchdowns or a good amount of points. But I told him he wasn’t “in love” with these sports. He’s just talented. He swore up n down he was in love with them but as his father I knew he wasn’t. Eventhough Johnny was IMMENSELY talented, I’m sure his father knew his sons ♥️. I know I did.
Johnny is the man. It's too bad he just wasn't cut out the big leagues. Doesn't change the fact he was the goat in college, while living his best life, and doing it with style💯
I've always thought that Manziel could've been a great NFL QB, but now that I heard what he went through in the NFL it makes sense why it didn't pan out.
He owns up to all of his mistakes and doesn’t point fingers at anyone else!! Mad respect for this dude
Sounded like he blamed the dc

I couldnt stand him years ago. I can tell hes changed and matured ALOT. Much respect to that man
Remember he used to do this 🫰😮💨🤌…. That money hand gesture whenever he got cocky lol
Fr has… Love to see it
Growth is a beautiful thing. I couldn’t stand myself in my 20s but my 30s have been wonderful
He hella soft i agree
So true. Always knew he had a big heart by the way he played early on. It's sad that he forgot where he came from until now. At least he may be able to help others by sharing his ordeal.
Man, Sharp has been killing it with these episodes!!!
Facts and great switch up from the comedians and great interview from both ppl
My goat
Leaving the show with skip bayless is looking like a brilliant move
Making Johnny feel comfortable and not confronted by “gotcha” questions allowed us to hear the struggle we are now learning from. This type of interview leads to not only the betterment of Johnny, but also those that watch it. Accountability will always be a struggle with ego, but that doesn’t mean you can’t overcome. This was awesome and I wish nothing but the best for Johnny and Shay.
its because most reporters are snakes. Shannon is authentic.
That same respect yall have for him for owning up to his actions , have that same love and respect for yourselves
This is good advice
His honesty don't change the fact that he was way too soft for professional football
It's honestly a miracle someone as mentally weak as him made it as far as he did
Most underrated comment of this whole thread. Thank you for this.
Shannon is a great interviewer regardless of sports his making a lane like Rogan I’m glad he’s getting the respect he deserves
He’s got a lot of humility and grace to admit some of this stuff. Props to Johnny Football
It's good to see Johnny Football is doing so much better
Was dealing with basically the same issues around the same time he was. You can tell and hear it in his voice, he is a changed man. Proud of this dude
These two just had the type of conversation that starts a friendship.
As an addict whos gotten my life back together but still harbors regret eventho the people ive wronged saying i dont need to feel regret over the past. I can totally relate to what johnny feels. Mad respect for the man he has become
As a former college player that got caught up in the lifestyle… I can relate!!! Johnny real af for this… respect ✊🏾 💯
my dorm wing had a bunch of football players on it. the girls they got were unreal. I'm talking even tuesday nights it was a party. even the backup players. just having the jersey in a power 5 conference you have that kind of status.
Powerful story from him! There's no perfect guide, one most go within.
Boo. 0/10
and the importance of having core values / pillars. Dudes compass was pure ego for 5+ years
"How you lose 40lbs? You're on a strict diet of blow." Daumn!! That's called keeping it a buck!!
💯🎯
😂 I wasn’t trying to laugh he just kept it so real, u can tell he been in them streets.
Or ozempic
He a weak minded junky i agree
Johnny went to my high school and I moved to LA the year he won the Heisman…this discussion makes me so happy ! TFND!
Was Johnny off the meds and kush back in hs

This is honest to god the best Johnny's looked since he was in college. As an A&M fan I'm proud of him for taking control of his life.
Really??? I hate to see the worst he looks beat but he’s doing better

People never truly understand what you’re going through on the inside. Another awesome interview with Johnny Manziel..
It would probably surprise you quite a bit you if you knew how many people can easily and clearly see what's going on with you
It's a LOT i can assure you
However they just don't care
Nor should they
Prayers for everyone going though addiction 🙏🏾
Prayers to everyone who puts a thumb in they but 🙏🏾
Lol grow a pair of balls
Prayers always work! 🤦🏼♂️
No.
As absolutely electric as the katt interview was, I think this is my favorite thus far.
2 years intensive therapy, I'm 13 years sober, and I lost 111lbs, I didn't have access to millions of dollars, nice homes and the best treatment centers money can buy. It can be done
Anyone can do it
I wouldn't brag about being under LeBron James, he's a racist baby
Nothing but respect for Johnny. He owned everything and didn’t make excuses
You obviously didn’t pay attention. When you make an excuse and say it isn’t an excuse, it’s an excuse.
Johnny Football was a moment in time to be alive… to beat Alabama at Alabama in the middle of St Nicks run was incredible
Respect to Johnny Football for taking accountability for everything. That is rare in this day and age. He’ll always be one of the most exciting college fb players ever.
Got respect his raw honesty to taking ownership of his mistakes and self aware of the opportunities lost. It’s kind of refreshing because most people just make excuses

So good to hear Johnny talk like this. I, too, suffer from the disease of addiction and it’s awesome to see that accountability!
Johnniy and Shannon did an excellent job here🎉
Major respect to Johnny !!! Still rooting for dude!!
I knew nothing about him but such a self awareness and accountability. I like his honesty and sincerity.
Can't help but wish the best for Johnny
I would love to see you get Josh Gordon on your show sir. He was an amazing athlete that had similar problems.
Dude got more opportunities than manziel and threw it all away for trees smfh

That's an A+ interview. SS is really great at conversation with interesting questions and follow-ups. He's becoming my favorite channel.
Man, Johnny was really something special. Wish he had better people around him in the pros to help guide him.
He did have good people, as he said he let them all down. He threw it all away because he didn’t apply himself.
You weren’t listening. He didn’t love the game. He’s not in the league because he doesn’t want to be in it.
J Manziel.... totally appreciate you opening up...
🙏 Thank you!!!!
For sharing...
Shannon, u are a beast!
Thank YOU
for starting your own channel....
I know how hard it is to play qb...
Because i gave up at my local jc.... I really like to say i didnt have the passion for the every day demand of practice of getting better, WHEN I WAS YOUNG..
But I regret it now.... Even if i wouldve just been a backup...
I regret not dedicating myself to football....
I have so much more respect for this guy now....I can honestly say I am a fan of this guy...It takes a man to stand up and own up to his reality...RESPECT TO YOU JOHNNY M...
It's called growth! Congrats on this young man trying to learn from his mistakes and trying to become a better man. 👍🏿💪🏿
I watched the whole interview. I love me some Johnny Manziel. He didn’t always do everything right but he’s accountable for his actions and never points the finger that somebody else.😊
Skip Blayless with compassion, contrition, respect, and sounds genuinely remorseful. Welcome J & Shay❤
I like how he gave Josh McCown props. That's a leader to go in there and stick up for a teammate
Went from hating this guy's alter ego to crying for his pain. There's no worse feeling than truly letting down the people who love you. Pray for nothing but the best for everyone who is going through it.
Massive respect for this young man! He went through it and he owns it and he is self aware. A very smart man
My boy said he was listening to Future every second of every day 🫡
we all fuct up our goals/dreams! and then we lose more! it’s part of life. just keep pushing forward!!! johnny back!
Way to go, Shannon. Bringing all these great guests. Because it is great to hear the perspective of Johnny Manziel
This was deep and very valuable!! God bless you brother!
Good work Uncle, phenomenal questions and listening skills.... Love, from the Mile High.
Shannon, just wanted to say man, you’re a tremendous interviewer. Great host
In the past it always felt like he just said things to get the heat off his shoulders.. but this entire thing felt genuine. I remember being in Highschool and Johnny Football was all the hype. Good times..
Bizarrely enough Johnny is a very introspective person, interesting to hear from him, respect
I admire Johnny because he's owned what he's done wrong. You can't ask more of a man than that.
4:09 that ozempic line got me😂😂
Bro I died 😂
The fact he didn’t take his truth to his grave helps deeply for everyone
Pure love for Johnny Football. He's still the man.
Gotta respect the guy
Great interview he gives his teammates respect and owns his flaws good stuff Johnny M and I didn't know he was this intelligent and real
Respect to Johnny wish nothing but the best for 'em. Real men know that growth is maturity not age.

Best interview of all time! Good job Shannon! Your interviews are the greatest
Reading, Pennsylvania 😮. I live 1 hour from there and man, listen ,I now understand mr.menzel.
What a fun time in college football during the A&M days with Johnny. Me and my Dad never had seen so much TAMU football ever.....electric.
Shannon is killing it right now with these interviews rolling and rolling... I honestly think it was when he got away from that bitter hater Skip Bayless, that was when he really went on overdrive being so successful
Exactly! And I did like Skip at one point. After he disrespected Unc, that respect diminished drastically.
@@AnAdorableWombat1 me too exactly... But Skip's head and ego got waaaaay too big for me
its hard to turn down that corporate money. look at all the people ESPN laid off last year, they went from making millions to nothing. Shannon really beat the odds.
Just listening like this is crazy so many athletes need to genuinely listen to this
I grew up watching football and Johnny Manziel and Ryan Leaf are my biggest what if's in football at the QB position.

This is what you call a crossover before the layup. Let’s go I see you ✊🏾
We live and learn. I like Manziel a lot more after this interview
"I am so glad you sitting here today and found a reason to live "
