Washington's Ryan Clark shared the alleged impetus for Manziel's obscene Monday night gesture.
Johnny Manziel flipped off the Washington bench in front of the entire nation on Monday night, and the only explanation he provided for the deliriously excited throng of reporters in his post-game presser was a vague statement that 'words were exchanged.' Thanks to Washington safety Ryan Clark, we now know what those word were.
'I can tell you what the statement was that set him off. The statement was ... This isn't college any more and these people are faster than you are,' Clark said Monday morning on ESPN's
Mike and Mike. 'He didn't like it. That was me cleaning up the statement but that's pretty close to what it was.'
To be honest, that sounds pretty tame, even with the assumed expletives removed. It's safe to assume that Manziel has heard his fair share of trash talk over the last two-plus years, and there has to have been some more creative material than that.
In any event, the Washington players got an expected kick out of Manziel's response.
'It was hilarious,' said linebacker Brian Orakpo, who mocked Manziel's patented money gesture to celebrate a first half sack. 'We were messing with him a little bit, just saying this ain't college and stuff like that. We were having a little fun. Manziel flipped us off. It was something funny. We were all laughing on the sidelines.'
