That's about all anyone can agree on. First, let's go to Manziel's agent, per Cleveland.com. Erik Burkhardt said Manziel was harassed by a fellow fan in the gallery, but handled the disturbance without major problems. Seems harmless enough, but here's another angle. A fan, Chase Fritz of Plano, Texas, told Yahoo Sports that he spotted Manziel yelling at someone and, later, throwing a water bottle at the fan. Manziel missed, and the other fan responded, "Hey, nice throw, Johnny." Manziel, according to Fritz, became "super pissed," "took off his hat," and began walking toward the other man. At that point, security officials in the area rounded up everyone, including Fritz and his father. Someone in Manziel's entourage told Fritz not to take a picture, but he did so anyway. TMZ reports that Manziel told police the other man (referred to as a "friend") had been harassing him for an autograph, and that Manziel lost his temper. After some discussion with security officials, everyone dispersed with no arrests. No harm, no penalty flag. How you view the incident depends on how you view Manziel in general. A case of a problematic player losing control again, or a case of a fan getting rude? Either way, the Browns can't be happy Manziel continues to make news away from the field.
