CFL: Johnny Who? Pipkin Takes the Reigns of the Alouettes

After two back to back wins for the Als, and Johnny Manziel on the sidelines still due to concussion protocol, when will Johnny's big break come from? There are eight other teams in the league that have seen spiked ticket sales on the day Montreal comes to visit.  Those extra bums may not be in seats then.

CFL: Another Twist and Turn In Johnny Football's Canadian Career

It looked like a hard hit right on the goal line during the Montreal versus Ottawa mathc, and not entirely clear as to what happened on the sidelines; however, quarterback John Manziel is now showing symptoms similar to a concussion and has missed practicing with his Alouettes team mates.

TSN also mentioned (uncovered?) that Manziel may also be suffering these symptoms as per his mental health medications. 

Another unexpected event in this quarterback's entry into the CFL.  He has attracted much interest, many headlines and mustered up ticket sales at home in Montreal and away.  The Alouettes and the CFL need him to be well.  Quick recovery Johnny!

CFL: And Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere's....Johnny (Manziel)!

A tough game to watch as both teams comprised the two rivalry cities of Toronto.  In Johnny's defense, he only had four practices to put all this together despite learning the CFL game while in Hamilton.  Tickets were sold, lots of media coverage on him - the wins will come for the Montreal Alouettes. 

(Although watching his first throw resulting in an interception, it did appear he forgot there were 12 men on the field!)
