We have a feeling this will be the number one topic on sports talk in the US today.
The Cleveland Browns, and especially their QB Brian Hoyer, were so close to a redemptive win yesterday. With rumours circulating before the game against the Colts that starting QB Brian Hoyer needed to guide the team into the play-offs to stay employed in 2015, a win was simply a must in the hyper competitive AFC North.
Add in the presence of a certain Johnny ‘Football’ Manziel on the sidelines and you’d have to have a heart of stone not to be wishing Hoyer all the best.
But Hoyer had a bad day, letting a lead slip in the last few minutes and he was unable to get the Browns in field goal range on the final drive, just missing Josh Gordon on a really long ball before being intercepted on the next play, ending the game in a one-point defeat for the Browns.
It all heaps even more pressure on Hoyer now, and this clip of his rival Manziel, after an overthrow by the starter in the third quarter, will surely only add it it.
It shows Manziel appear to mouth off after the miss, saying what looks like ‘I would’ve f***ing hit him’.
The jury is still out on what exactly Manziel said but we fully expect it to be hotly debated all day across the American media.
