:hovehh: His coach is black and so is 80% of the team, sounds like a stretch

Manziel attempted to break up a fight after a friend of his allegedly pointed and shouted a racial slur at McKinney.
Independent eyewitness Christopher Moody recapped the altercation for police. The official police report states (via deadspin.com):
"Moody said that when Marvin approached the two males, he began to get close to Steven who had called him the vulgar word. [Manziel] stepped in between Steven and Marvin and told Marvin that Steven had not meant to say the word and that he was taking him home. Moody said that Marvin continued to push against [Manziel] and [Manziel] shoved Marvin in the chest. Marvin then swung at [Manziel] who charged Marvin and began punching Marvin back."
In the police report, it is stated by the reporting officer that he "could smell the odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his breathe and clothing," and that "the defendant's eyes were red, bloodshot and glassy, and his speech was slurred when he spoke."
Now is when I will remind you that Manziel is a redshirt freshmen, making him approximately 19 years old at the time of the incident.
Manziel allegedly showed police officers a fake Louisiana driver's license and when questioned on his birth date, the A&M signal caller alternated between 1990 and 1992.
The officer then checked Manziel's wallet and found two other licenses, both issued by the state of Texas. One was allegedly fake and the other was real.
Manziel would end up being charged with three misdemeanors: disorderly conduct, failure to identify, and possession of a fictitious driver's license.
