Not gonna lie, I remain interested in the walking intersection of sports and "famous for being famous" and East Texas affluenza that is Johnny Manziel. Actually saw him play once, in Canada.

As an aside, CFL football is awesome when the offenses are humming, but endless two-and-outs are mind-numbing. Some might even say 33% more boring than an equivalent game in the US.

The Netflix documentary does bring up the "affluenza" bit. It was all a lie to hide the fact that he was signing autographs for money, which is hilarious.
