An hour and a half. The Saskatchewan Rough Riders are contemplating filing a lawsuit in response  to a fraudulent 90 minute association with Johnny Football. I know his "attempted comeback" is still in its infantile stages, but a CFL team becoming so insulted that an unreliable news source thought they could benefit from bringing in a disgraced first round pick for a harmless workout that they are considering legal action is the reality check of all reality checks.

I highly doubt he's talented enough for his fortunes to turn as fast as Steve Sarkisian's or Michael Floyd's, so Johnny Manziel is probably going to have to take baby steps to get even remotely close to the league he drunked out of. That said, having a bunch of Canucks that don't even play by the real rules of football attempt to litigate their way out of a temporary affiliation with him must feel like he tripped over his own feet and fell flat onto the diaper full of shit he's gotten himself into. There's not one single lie that's been told about me that's made me consider retribution, never mind prosecution. Meanwhile, some Canadian football team from a place I have probably used as a punchline unsure of whether or not it existed is like "What are they saying about us? You mean that douchebag that somehow drank too much for the city of Cleveland? Call the lawyers, STAT". Probably wishes he was back on the sauce to ease the pain of that fall from grace.
