Johnny Manziel’s agent trolls Merril Hoge

Johnny Manziel’s agent trolled Merril Hoge after his first win of his NFL career.
Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel had a big game against the Tennesee Titans to get the first win of his professional career.
While Manziel’s 8-of-15 passing wasn’t necessarily notable, he threw for 175 yards and two touchdowns. Each of those scores were bombs to Travis Benjamin, one for 60-yards and another for 50 yards at the end of the game.
So after the game, Manziel’s agent Erik Burkhardt took to Twitter to troll NFL analyst Merril Hoge
Before the game earlier in the week, Manziel fired back at Hoge who called him “sloppy fundamentally.” Hoge also said that Manziel hasn’t gotten better.
“I think Merril Hoge needs to worry about his big neck ties,” Manziel said, per Mary Kay Cabot of The Plain Dealer. “Talking about Merril, he’s been that way since I decided to come out for the draft, so I guess that’s part of it, but no extra motivation or extra bump for me or anything like that. It’s just go out and play and quiet him with the way we go out and win on Sunday. That’s what we want to do.”
Hoge responded and seemed to take Burkhardt’s taunt well.
