No more pressure to be a great NFL quarterback. No more conforming to what everybody else wants you to be. Nope, Johnny Manziel can finally be who he wants to be. The new football league he’s joined wants him to have fun, express who he really is, let it all loose without being all worried about being an effective quarterback and mature adult.

As a star of the new “Fan Controlled Football League,” which is scheduled to start in February 2020, Johnny Football can be Johnny Funball all the time and that’s what the league organizers want.

Be you, Johnny, and just have fun playing a funky newfangled form of 7-on-7 football run by fans who help design the rules, set the rosters, and call the plays.

“We’re really embracing this idea of being more than an athlete,” said league co-founder and CEO Sohrob Farudi. “We’re very comfortable with having players be big personalities off the field and doing what they want to do. For us, it’s as much as about the off-field opportunities to connect with the fan base as it is about the football on the field.”

Johnny Football resonates with the concept.

“I’ve finally got a chance to express my inner self on the football field without all the expectations and pressure,” he said.

Here’s a list of things JFoot envisions himself doing both on and off the field to wow the fans and enhance his damaged personal brand.

One: When he doesn’t like a play a fan calls, he’ll instigate heated arguments with them and tell them they know nothing about football and he’s running the show. 

“I figure the interpersonal tension will keep people watching the games,” he says. “Gotta have conflict to have compelling football entertainment. I’m pretty hot-headed so starting and sustaining these arguments with fans will be easy and fun for me. I won’t even have to practice.”

Two: Johnny Football plans to poke fun at the league organizers by pointing out that 7 on 7 is not real football and the league should change to 11 on 11 games like real football.

“I don’t really care how many guys are on each team, but it’ll be fun to debate the issue with league organizers,” he said. “Fans will get to see how a once star football player can throw his weight around in a new and weird football league and basically get what he wants because he knows he’s got big star power albeit for many of the wrong reasons.”

League organizers also want fans to have fun learning about Manziel’s life off the football field. JFoot is now bouncing around a few concepts that he has a hunch will raise fan interest.

He’s toying with the idea, for instance, of shooting videos of himself running from his house to the grocery store with a football under his arm. In the first weekly episode, he’ll throw the ball at egg cartons to see how many eggs he can break in a five-minute span. Then he’ll have more video of him running home with a football and a grocery bag full of Pop-Tarts under his arm.

“It’ll be sort of like a juggling act and the suspense will build from week to week as I try to carry one more bag each week until, ultimately, I just drop all the groceries, leave them on the street, and run home with the football and spike it in my front yard.”

Manziel has another idea that he thinks could have legs for luring in fans. As he practices throwing the ball in his backyard, he’ll crank his outdoor loudspeakers and listen to “We Built This City,” a song rated the worst of all time. The next week while chucking around the pigskin he’ll blare the second worst song of all time, “Let ‘Em In” by Paul McCartney and Wings.

“It’ll be an interactive bit,” says Manziel. “Each week fans will be intrigued to find out which horrible song I’ll play next while tossing around the football. They’ll be sending me texts and posting suggestions on Instagram. Engagement will skyrocket over time.”

After a few weeks, he’ll build on this concept by doing the same drill, throwing the football in his backyard, while announcing the biggest NFL busts of all time.

“By at least the third week, I’ll announce myself and everybody will love that,” he says. “It’ll be fun to feel secure enough in who I am now to admit I’m one of the top three biggest busts in NFL history. I’ve always wanted to be open about how bad my NFL career was and how many people I disappointed, and now I finally have found the platform to let all that hang out full-on psychological nudity.”

JFootball also has ideas he believes will work for off-the-field activities. The first thing he’ll do is sign up for the Sammy Sportface Baby Boomer Brotherhood Blog Group. Then he’ll submit a blog about how he feels about Sportface’s blogs once a week.

“Sportface sucks and everybody knows it, and fans will really resonate with a former football star calling out this fraud for who he is directly in front of his entire Baby Boomer Brotherhood,” he said. “The blogs will raise awareness of the Johnny Football Controlled Football League – I mean the Fan Controlled Football League. 

“This blog will pull in more advertising dollars to the new league and entice more fans to come to the games played on chewed up, dirt and gravel high school fields around the country,” he added. “And it’ll sour the sports world on Sammy Sportface, which we all then celebrate.”
