Manziel ban sets Twitter aflutter
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The penalty didn't fit the drama, or the saturated coverage. Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel will sit for the first half of Saturday's Rice-Texas A&M opener.
And, naturally, the Twitterverse erupted.
Can we investigate the investigators? @DezBryant got suspended a season 4 lying about a dinner that wasnt a violation & Manziel gets a half.
