The Cleveland Browns are taking on their in-state AFC north rivals, the Cincinnati Bengals, on Sunday. They decided to make a change at quarterback, benching Brian Hoyer in favor of rookie Johnny Manziel.
The game was made more intriguing when Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis decided to call Manziel a midget, and Manziel didn’t seem too bothered by it.
“Coach Lewis called a couple people inside the organization, wanted to apologize,” Manziel said, “but for me, it didn’t really get to me, I was up here trying to get prepared for practices … It didn’t really get to me.”
In fact, Manziel thought it was funny.
“It’s absolutely funny, my height, I’m not gonna sprout five inches over the course of the week.”
Then it is probably safe to assume that Manziel will find this Browns’ custom jersey funny as well. Someone decided to replace the “Manziel” name plate with one that read, “not a midget” instead.

That is about as quality a custom jersey as you will see.
