First Tebow, now Johnny Football is back throwing touchdowns

Back-up QBs of the world unite.

THE WORST JOB in the world today?

Sports radio presenters in Cleveland having to listen to all the calls for Johnny Manziel to be immediately named the Browns starting quarterback.

Thursday night, Johnny Football threw his first touchdown pass of the pre-season when he finished a 96-yard drive with a 21-yard pass to Shane Wynn.

The score came against the Buffalo Bills back-up defence — though, to be fair, Manziel was playing with second string players himself — and wasn’t enough to help his team to the win with the Bills coming out on top 11-10.

On the long drive, the young QB showed signs of the type of play that made him so exciting to watch in college when he rolled out of the pocket and connected with a receiver on a long pass:

While he stepped into the pocket and looked quite composed for the actual touchdown pass:

Whatever those calling in to sports radio in Cleveland have to say today though, Josh McCown remains favourite to be the starting quarterback for the Browns this season — despite being intercepted twice and sacked three times in Thursday’s game.

It’s looking increasingly likely Tom Brady won’t serve a four-game ban

Peyton Manning takes precautions when he’s in the Patriots’ locker room cos he thinks it’s bugged

    The fight reminded me of the Simpsons episode when Homer fought hobo Boxcar Bob in Moe’s Bar

    Absolutely pointless fight, he gained nothing from it.

    Good to see him back. He was always going to win, needs a few more fights under his belt to get back into the groove. Great entrance as well!

    @Brocky Jennings: Ya think? Give him a couple of higher Calibre opponents and get him back to previous levels and I think he beats both.

    @EnKy: well said . HD can beat anyone as long as he’s on his game . He def beats wilder in my eyes but not 100% sure about Joshua . Anyone who says he can’t beat either know little
