Basically it boils down to this: Manziel apparently lied to his own mother about his reason for missing camp meetings on Saturday morning, misled the media on SEC Media Day and threw Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron under the bus by forcing him to answer questions about why he didn\u2019t wake Manziel up on Saturday morning. What McCarron had to avoid saying was the truth: he couldn\u2019t wake Manziel up, because Manziel wasn\u2019t in their room.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Allegedly Manziel either missed or was late to every staff meeting leading up to his departure from the camp. Dartmouth head coach Buddy Teevens is said to have convinced Archie Manning to send Manziel home.<\/p>\n
Manziel initially said that A.J. McCarron did not wake him up Saturday morning. When asked about the incident at SEC Media Days the Alabama quarterback declined to elaborate on the story.<\/p>\n
I can\u2019t answer on Johnny Manziel\u2019s part. My name is A.J. Everything that has to do with him, he\u2019s his own man. I\u2019m not going to speak on another man\u2019s business. That\u2019s how I was raised. If it don\u2019t have nothing to do with you, don\u2019t speak on it. I know how I handle myself out in public, how I carry myself in front of people. That\u2019s what I\u2019m worried about, trying to be the best player and the best person off the field that I can be for my family and the University of Alabama. I never want to disrespect them in any way.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
With plenty of time before College Football season kicks off this story is showing no signs of slowing down just yet. Perhaps most important for Texas A&M and Alabama will be their meeting on Sept. 14 at Kyle Field. (College Station, TX)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
