Reports like this are a great example of the media bias surrounding Manziel. He was robbed of a glorious achievement that many would call cheating. http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/baltimore-sports-blog/bal-manziel-trick-play-illegal-because-of-colts-game-60-years-ago-20140922,0,2555536.story |

I don't think that article is pro-Manziel. Its written by a Baltimore writer saying the play should have been illegal even without the running back failing to get set. It doesn't look like the refs would have called that since they didn't throw a flag for it. I don't think he's saying Manziel was robbed, I think he's saying that Manziel was cheating and the trick play they ran was against the rules, and he's pointing out that the game that caused that rule to be put in was also played in Baltimore. Not saying there isn't media hype and bias around Manziel, but I don't think this writer is among them. |
