Johnny Manziel lawsuit: Twitter reacts hilariously
By Mike Dyce
On Friday a completely ridiculous lawsuit against Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel was found. At first it was intriguing to find a lawsuit seeking a restraining order and millions of dollars for emotional damage, but a quick read made people (most people) quickly realize that despite it being an actual filed lawsuit, it has to be fake.
Aside from the errors in it, and being poorly written, there are numerous ridiculous, yet hilarious claims in the document (which you can read here).
Needless to say, Twitter is having a field day. Starting with those writing errors.
In the suit it claimed Manziel’s make body part was only 4.5 inches long.
I can't stop imagining Manziel rage-crying, red in the face throwing a tantrum and yelling that he's bigger than 4.5. #Ridiculousness

It also claimed he put that male body part in a hot dog bun and sent it to the victim.
I usually love hot dogs. But Johnny Manziel.... Just don't. #JohnnyFootball

You might never be able to look at hot dogs the same.
Some named potential perpetrators:

Still waiting for the Darren Rovell business spin.
Rovell probably wonders why Nathan's hasn't jumped all over this Manziel thing. #Brand

Could also do the same with Vienna sausages since he apparently named his male body part after the product.
Hopefully this has a happy ending where manziel becomes Vienna sausages spokesperson

And this is the sad reality:
And what might even be sadder, some people can’t figure out that is clearly a hoax on their own:
