[Deadspin] The Long Con: How The Manziels Conquered America

[Lucky_Lefty]

First quarter is pretty good, second quarter is kind of zzzz, then the last half is great.

They tried to cram too much info in there about the great-grandfather. I get it, he was a dirtbag and he had balls.

Long post short when the fight with the racist friend popped off (which is NEVER mentioned by anyone when that incident is brought up) that his family history is one of the main reasons Mack wanted no parts of duke at Austin. A lot of what is in the article he mentioned in that thread from the mob style mentality and strong arming folks for their land and stuff. Wish I faves the thread now

That's crazy. I wonder if it was Mack's own impression of the Manziel family/story that turned him away, or if old bloodlines and loyalty told Mack to not extend an offer
