Some things never change.

Johnny Manziel left ‘College GameDay’ hanging on Saturday, and folks online believe they know why.

The former Texas A&M and Cleveland Browns quarterback was scheduled to be a guest picker on Saturday’s show. With the Aggies set for a first appearance in the College Football Playoff against Miami, Manziel seemed the perfect choice.

A Heisman Trophy winner with TAMU, it didn’t make sense any other way, except it kinda did.

Because Johnny Football did not show up.

Viewers would have expected Manziel, given previous announcements. However, it was Oklahoma City Thunder star Alex Caruso who was unveiled as the guest picker on the day.

It appears Johnny partied a bit too much on Friday night.

An X user highlighted the former QB’s IG Story posts, which do little to hide the fact that he was in Miami for Jake Paul’s $184 million mega fight vs. Anthony Joshua. He enjoyed quite the night out thereafter.

So instead of spending the night before his old school’s biggest game in College Station, the former Cleveland player took his talents to South Beach.

In his defence, and according to one fan, Manziel may have been under the impression that the game was in Miami.

“The Kaseya Center is in Miami. I’m taking this to mean that Johnny thought the game was being played IN MIAMI,” the fan wrote.

“LMFAOOOOOOOOO Johnny Football went out and got hammered and probably did a bunch of blow in Miami last night and no showed to College Gameday this morning!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣,” another suggested.

“Give him credit, went from spending money on alcohol to getting sponsored and paid by same type biz opps is a heck of a hustle,” offered a third.

If there’s one thing we know about Johnny Manziel, it’s that the guy does whatever he wants.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
