Recent news has highlighted a new conflict between former NFL quarterback Johnny Manziel and media members in Cleveland regarding his time with the Cleveland Browns.

最近的新聞凸顯了前 NFL 四分衛 Johnny Manziel 與克里夫蘭媒體成員之間，關於他在克里夫蘭褐隊時期表現的新衝突。

The current tension began when old footage from a September 2025 appearance on the 'Nightcap' podcast was shared again. During the interview, Manziel clearly stated that he has no desire to reconcile with the Cleveland Browns organization, even suggesting he would prefer the team to keep losing. Consequently, ESPN Cleveland radio host Tony Rizzo questioned why Manziel feels such hatred, considering the support the athlete received at the start of his career.

目前的緊張局勢始於一段 2025 年 9 月參加「Nightcap」Podcast 節目的舊片被再次分享。在採訪中，Manziel 明確表示他完全沒有意願與克里夫蘭褐隊組織和解，甚至暗示他更希望球隊繼續輸球。因此，ESPN 克里夫蘭電台主持人 Tony Rizzo 質疑，考慮到該運動員在職業生涯初期獲得的支持，為何 Manziel 會如此痛恨。

In response to Rizzo, Manziel used the social media platform X to give a harsh and angry reply. While he admitted that he was partly responsible for his own professional decline, Manziel emphasized that the failure was also due to the system. He argued that the 2015 roster was inadequate, noting that the offense and defense performed poorly in key metrics. Furthermore, he questioned why other unsuccessful players, such as Justin Gilbert, or coach Mike Pettine did not face the same level of criticism.

針對 Rizzo 的質詢，Manziel 使用社交媒體平台 X 給出了激烈且憤怒的回覆。雖然他承認自己對職業生涯的下滑負有部分責任，但 Manziel 強調失敗也是由於系統問題。他主張 2015 年的陣容並不合格，並指出進攻和防守在關鍵指標上的表現均不理想。此外，他質疑為何其他不成功的球員（如 Justin Gilbert）或教練 Mike Pettine 卻沒有面對相同程度的批評。

At the same time, local analysts have compared Manziel's past performance to that of rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders. Although some observers believe both players showed a similar lack of quality in their early play, analysts distinguish the two by Sanders' stronger commitment to improving his skills. They also noted a difference in their draft value, as Manziel was selected 22nd overall, whereas Sanders was selected 144th.

與此同時，當地分析師將 Manziel 過去的表現與新秀四分衛 Shedeur Sanders 進行比較。儘管部分觀察者認為兩名球員在早期比賽中均表現出類似的品質不足，但分析師以 Sanders 對提升技巧有更強的投入度將兩人區分開來。他們還指出兩者在選秀價值上的差異，Manziel 是總第 22 順位被選中，而 Sanders 則是第 144 順位。

The situation continues to be marked by mutual hostility between Manziel and the Cleveland media, showing that there is still no resolution regarding his short NFL career.

Manziel 與克里夫蘭媒體之間仍以相互敵對為特徵，顯示出關於他短暫的 NFL 生涯至今仍未達成解決。
