ESPN’s Colin Cowherd continues to talk trash about former Kentucky star John Wall (even after John Calipari told him to cut it out).
Cowherd’s latest John Wall blast came when he compared the Wizards point guard to troubled Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel.
“I’ve said this before: Johnny Manziel, to me, is John Wall,” Cowherd said.
Really?
Here is an excerpt:
Cowherd — sports radio’s Shockwave Flash Player — has been known to think of Wall when prompted by Wizards losses, NBA news, current events, his lunch choices, his favorite electronica song, and strangely shaped pieces of drier lint. And so Cowherd thought of Wall this week when Johnny Manziel announced he was giving up the money sign.
Now, Manziel would seem to have some other stuff going on in his life; hence, his stint in rehab. But Wall and Manziel do share some similarities. They are both professional athletes named John, for example.
“I’ve said this before: Johnny Manziel, to me, is John Wall,” Cowherd said. “When I criticize John Wall for the Dougie, [fans say] that’s thin slicing, that is racism. I said no, it’s driven by an idiotic act, and then I look at your past. And I look at Johnny Manziel’s past: he’s an entitled trust fund kid, I hated his money sign, I looked in his family history and saw oil money, rich kid, entitled, he will never succeed. Now, John Wall is a much better basketball player than Johnny Manziel is a football player. It’s not close. John wall is a tremendous talent. Johnny Manziel is a borderline NFL player. But Johnny Manziel is giving up the money sign, Millennials, and it does matter.”
