Related: About this forumJohnny Manziel could be benched for off-field behavior
http://my.xfinity.com/articles/sports-general/20151124/FBN--Browns-Manziel/Johnny Manziel may have partied his way out of a starting job.
Browns coach Mike Pettine expressed Tuesday that he's disappointed with Manziel's off-field behavior and would not guarantee the quarterback would play Monday night against Baltimore.
After Manziel promised he would not embarrass the Browns during their bye week, a video and photos of him partying in Texas last weekend surfaced Monday. Pettine said he had seen the video and spoken to Manziel, who spent 70 days during the offseason in a rehab facility specializing in treatment for alcohol and drug addiction.
"Disappointing very," Pettine said following practice. "I can't stand here and say it's not whatever word we want to use disappointing, frustrating."

Browns to start Josh McCown over Johnny Manziel at quarterback
<snip>
"Johnny Manziel has been replaced by Josh McCown as the starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns, the team announced Tuesday.
One week after being named the team's starter, Manziel has been demoted to the third-string quarterback for Monday night's game against the Baltimore Ravens after social media posts surfaced this week showing Manziel allegedly partying last weekend in Texas during the team's bye week."

He just doesn't get it. But is it because he can't, doesn't want to, or, being the heir of a petroleum fortune, doesn't have to? Maybe if Mummy and Daddy took him out of the will...
