He might owe Johnny more than anyone. Has had almost zero success since that 2012 season, but somehow kept finding his way into better and better jobs.

My takeaway from the documentary is that Kliff Kingsbury looks like ****. Hell, it's only been 10-11 years. He looks rough.
When I saw coked out Kliff I really cringed.

Can't believe it's been 11 years since the 2012 season, still feels like it was yesterday despite how much has changed around BCS since then, in large part due to the money and popularity influx from Johnny.
I thought Kliff's comments throughout the whole thing really highlighted the atmosphere around Johnny and college sports in general. That man quickly understood he had one shot to let Johnny be Johnny and it was gonna lead to him getting a promotion to a head coaching job, and Sumlin was going to have to deal with the aftermath at A&M. Just like how A&M knew, that combined with the influx of coming SEC money, this was their chance to upgrade A&M athletics to a top tier level (at least in terms of money and facilities).
Hearing Uncle Nate's side of the story for the first time was hilarious. Amazing that a couple drunk 20 year olds duped the whole media world into believing Johnny came from some oil mega money family.
Knowing more about what was really happening with Uncle Nate and the autograph signing money really makes me wonder what would've happened if Johnny had NIL. I got the sense that since he was making NO money he went full speed the opposite direction to make as much as he possibly could by any means necessary. Maybe he wouldn't have been so hell bent on being a money making bad boy if he was making "official" money through the #2 jersey sales, sponsor deals, etc.
If you had told me in August of 2012 TexAgs and Looch would be on Netflix I would've laughed my ass off…still am laughing, Looch was great in his interview
I know another 8-4 football season is coming, and I'm ready to be hurt again
This is an excellent post
Kliff looked a lot rougher in the documentary than he did on the NFL sidelines the past few years.AJ02 said:

I still to this day want to know who tf is buying autographs.
Good question. I don't think I've ever paid for a single autograph I've gotten over the years.
Maybe people buy autographed items to then sell at auctions to raise money?

I bought a signed Von Miller jersey when he was drafted second overall.....Probably wouldn't buy it now, but it was recently after I graduated, first time I ever had spare money, and I loved that guy. Don't regret it at all, still have it framed and hanging up.
My grandmother bought a lot of autographed stuff and passed it down to me. Cool stuff. Like a set of a ball, picture, and bat all autographed by Hank Aaron. A bunch of Nolan Ryan stuff, she was obsessed with him, I wouldn't be surprised if I have every Nolan Ryan card ever made lol
My father in law seems to buy anything autographed anytime he's at a charity auction....really anything sports related. I have an A&M cotton bowl ring, Evans signed helmet, Kirk signed helmet, Willie Nelson signed guitar....all that he gave me. And he's bought lots more....

It's a multi-billion dollar industry. Many buy as a speculative investment.
I've never really understood it from a non-investment standpoint (why you'd want to buy an autograph you didn't actually get yourself and in that case why not just take a picture?), but hey... guys videoing themselves opening up baseball cards is an enormous industry now. I've given up on trying to figure out people.

I remember in the ?early 00s? MTV did a reality show with A&M students. Just knew it would be a huge recruiting tool showing how redass A&M was to the world.
Instead they emptied the clown car of students who were morons.
Kinda weird usually when I watch these types of documentaries I either like or dislike the person more, this one didn't change anything. Seems like he has peter pan syndrome but can you blame him.
Lol, from Sam Khan's Athletic article on his perspective watching the doc as a beat writer covering us at the time:Quote:

I'm suddenly wondering if Conner McQueen's phone has blown up in the last two days.
Wife and I watched the game at the Lauberge Casino bar in Lake Chuck. I have never felt so positive and excited after a loss in my life. Some other Ags were watching it with us and they seemed to share the sentiment. Maybe the expectation by many that we would get crushed our first year in the SEC had something to do with it...as we stood toe to toe with FL and very easily could have won that game. But getting a glimpse of Johnny's magic definitely helped.cbr said:
the very first third and long in the florida game and i was extremely stunned and excited. that was the fastest 16 yards i had ever seen covered in my life, and you could tell the UF guys were looking around thinking the same thing.
then the TD that barely got called back and i knew we had something beyond special.
i came home and told my wife about it, predicting that he would be the best QB A&M had ever had, and that it would not be close.
she secretly went out and bought a signed football... still to this day the only signed sports anything i've ever owned. My birthday gift, saving up for my birthday.... aaaaaaand that came around right about Heisman night.
I thought the same, his arms looked jacked though. My guess would be testosterone injections (or other steroid) and lots of lifting...combined with party lifestyle. A lot of juicers in the gym get that red puffy face that looks like it's about to explode.ea1060 said:Kliff looked a lot rougher in the documentary than he did on the NFL sidelines the past few years.AJ02 said:

Sports memorabilia industry is crazy popular, very lucrative, and shady AF.
That's actually an Untold doc that would be great.
one of the many things left out is the double standard... manziel was far from the only autograph signer... in fact, any significant star athlete was in that biz.
Bayless is such a weirdo...
I dive into my long history with Johnny Manziel and one particular encounter with him before a taping of Kevin Hart’s ‘Cold as Balls’ show:

Since following Aggie football in 2006 or 07 I have 4 autographs. Johnny, Evan's, Myles, and Von. Haven't had anyone in a while I care about but I definitely plan on continuing to collect them. I haven't bought them myself but I like it when my wife gets them for me as a gift.

Well that was a waste of three minutes.

Manti was too busy getting catfished and perpetuating a lie to sign autographs
I had a return flight from Nola one time right as everyone was leaving the Manning passing academy. I remember seeing Patrick Mahomes with a tech backpack around the luggage check area and recognized him but only thought was "stockier guy than I realized." It was before he really blew up but he'd done enough I recognized him fairly quickly.Ag_07 said:BudFox7 said:

Then I noticed the memorabilia snakes. Grown men running around with huge duffel bags full of mini helmets, balls, etc. a guy with a duffle was on a walkie talkie shouting "so and so is by xyz, get your ass their asap", barking orders at various people like it was a trading floor.
I just watched it all thinking "you are ****ing pathetic".
Staff - take out the trash.
What a weird, dull video.TCTTS said:

Why does his tone feel like he's reading a statement apologizing for some sort of embarrassing incident?
Great doc; glad Johnny is still with us!
He is the most annoying personality of all time. Yes, that means he beats out Stephen A and Jim Rome, if that's even possible. Cannot stand this pompous arrogant ***** (who has no real right to be).Brittmoore Car Club said:TCTTS said:

I might have missed it on my first watch but if JFF and Uncle Nate have lost touch over the years who gave Nate the go ahead to talk so openly on camera?
Thats also his story tooCheeseSndwch said:

Who would have to approve it beyond the Director? I doubt Manziel had that much say over this doc on who got to talk or not.

Nate saw the $$ for participating in the documentary. His personality comes across as an opportunist….or you could call it a business man. Ironic that he's still making money from Johnny's fame.
They didnt lose touch. Johnny shot him in a rocket into the sun to pick up someone brand new (E.B.) that had plausible deniability about his behavior.
As you can see, that plausible deniability did not last very long.

Glad I could tell my story and be able to put a chapter of my life behind me. Very thankful for all of the support over the last week it truly means a lot.

**** Skip
This doesn't even make sense as Johnny has never said he had substance problems in 2018. This was when he was trying to get back into football with the Comeback$ZN.
