Am I the AAF Whisperer?

No. Actually quite the opposite. But if people could start calling me that I might be able to make some money off this thing. Johnny Manziel did, however, end up signing with the AAF as I wrote here.

In the most obvious and sensical move in the history of this league, Manziel joins the Memphis Express and I couldn’t think of a better place for him to end up. Memphis is the perfect sized city for him: big enough for him to be entertained but small enough to stay out of a good deal of trouble. By no means is it anything super impressive, but it is good enough to host a pro basketball team. They have a fun downtown scene with great BBQ and good bars. They even have proven themselves to have some semblance of nighttime entertainment.

Memphis is also small enough where Johnny isn’t going to get into enough shenanigans to give him the boot from another league. Yeah there is a nice downtown area, but if he ventures too far off hell run into some trouble in the 4th most dangerous city in America. Also Memphis is Nashville’s little brother so barring the occasional crackhead or groupie bothering him, Manziel won’t have to worry about swarms of crowds wherever he goes.

This city also deserves Manziel like no other. They had to suffer through 3 whole halves of Christian Hackenberg who is so bad even the Jets never let him play a down. They then had a now injured and quite boring Zach Mettenberger who could only lead them to 1 win in 4 and a half games. If Memphis is going to suck, they deserve to at least get some form of entertainment out of it. Johnny Manziel is almost certainly going to suck huge balls when he gets his shot but he will at least keep people watching the game. The nostalgia will kick in and fans will watch this shitshow of an offense hoping to see some flashes of the 2012 Heisman winner’s old self. This city deserves some form of entertainment because all they have right now is pretty good barbecue, the Grizzlies (meh), and Christian Hackenberg (double meh).
