Browns Reinstate Johnny Manziel After He Reveals Champagne Video is from Future Super Bowl Title Celebration SportsPickle Follow Nov 30, 2015 · 2 min read

CLEVELAND — Johnny Manziel has been reinstated as the starting quarterback of the Cleveland Browns after revealing today that a video released by TMZ showing him partying with a bottle of Champagne is from the future.

“Johnny said he wanted to keep the Super Bowl that he’s going to win for us next year a surprise, so that’s why he initially lied about the timing of the video,” Browns head coach Mike Pettine said today. “I can totally understand that. In fact, I think it’s proof that he’s matured to care that much about us.”

Manziel told the Browns the true story of the video this morning, six days after he was dropped from first-string to third-string by Pettine.

“Yeah, me and some buddies traveled into the future a couple weekends back,” said Manziel. “Turns out I lead the Browns to the Super Bowl next season, which is pretty sweet.”

Manziel wouldn’t divulge many details on how he traveled into the future, only to say that a friend of his from Texas A&M has “a hook up.”

“So that video wasn’t from the bye week I spent in Austin,” revealed the former Browns 1st Round pick. “I get why people thought that, but it was actually recorded in the future, the night after I throw six touchdowns against the Cowboys to lead the Browns to their first Super Bowl title ever.”

Pettine said Manziel didn’t mention the part about the Cowboys before.

“Now I’m thinking he’s definitely lying again,” said the head coach. “I’m going to have to cut him this time.”
