Manziel at it Again; Former Browns QB Punches Man in Hawaii During Wedding Weekend

So that comeback isn’t exactly going well for former Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel.

The former Browns QB is back in the headlines for all the wrong reasons today, as he was involved in an incident at a wedding over the weekend in Hawaii where he was part of the festivities.

TMZ, which could at this point be renamed ManzielNews.com, has the story about Johnny and his throwing and hitting a guy during (of all things) the wedding rehearsal.

Here’s what we know … Manziel was at the Four Seasons Resort on the Big Island on Friday night when he got into it with another wedding guest.

We’re told things had been heated between the guys for a while — but it all came to a head at the rehearsal dinner.

Sources connected to Manziel tell us the QB felt like he was being hounded by the other man. We’re told Johnny was adamant he was not the instigator.

But things escalated … and at one point during the altercation Manziel struck the other guy in the face.

We’re told the fight was over almost immediately. We spoke with police who tell us they were NOT called to the hotel that night. We also reached out to Manziel multiple times — so far, no comment.

But get this … the next day, the other guy in the fight got a surprise from room service — a bottle of champagne and a note that read, “Truly apologize. Should have never done that. Know this won’t make it better, but hope it starts the day off alright.”

It was signed by Johnny Manziel.

The best part of the story (and there’s many) is the fact that Manizel, who has been in rehab once already, tried to make the situation right with (ta-da) alcohol!

Manziel has been going on and on about a comeback trying to get back into the NFL – and with a four-game suspension and incident after incident, it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen anytime soon.
