We get a lot of tips about Johnny Manziel, and most of them read something like this: "Hey, I have a [photo/video] of a [drunk/high] Johnny Manziel [singing along to Drake in a club/rolling up a joint/reaching for a bong/popping bottles/snorting coke]. How much will you pay me for it?" Here is our answer: nothing.


This is not to say that we are not interested in purchasing photos and videos of Johnny Manziel. They just have to be the right kinds of photos and videos. For example, the photo above—which shows Johnny Manziel rolling up some money in the manner of a dude getting ready to blow some lines—doesn't really do much for us. For a Manziel-doing-rails photo to rise above the mundane at this point, he'd have to be snorting high-grade cocaine cut with the ashes of Pablo Escobar and Vince Lombardi, ideally while holding up a valid driver's license.

Or let's get really crazy here. Below you'll find Deadspin's official Johnny Manziel bounty list; it is not exhaustive, but it'll give you some idea of what the market is like for photos and videos of Johnny Football.* If you have any of these in your possession, email us at tips@deadspin.com.
