About UNTOLD: Johnny Football
In 2012, the brightest star in all of sports was an undersized freshman quarterback at unheralded Texas A&M, whose fervor on the field was rivaled only by his hard-partying ways off it. Dubbed “Johnny Football,” the magnetic football player captured the nation’s attention and initially relished his alter ego: “I wanted to be Johnny Football. Johnny Football never had a bad time,” he says. But as the money rolled in, the scrutiny heightened, and Manziel rejected his newfound fame and suddenly lost his way.
With astonishing candor, Manziel – along with his family, coaches, his former best friend, and his agent – details what happened behind the scenes as scandals piled up in the glare of paparazzi flashbulbs. He fumbled his shot at broader success after the Cleveland Browns picked him in the first round of the NFL draft in 2014, but Manziel went on to search for something even greater: inner peace and happiness with a quieter life that he reveals here.

“White Men Can’t Jump” is a redo of a movie from 1992 that starred Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes. If you haven’t yet heard, it also has the same title. Why it was necessary to construct a remake of this particular film is anyone’s guess.
Still, it was alright, so it wasn’t a terrible idea. After watching, however different, this was on the same level as the first. Buddy movies that work well are entertaining, but sometimes we should just leave well enough alone.
