ESPN: Johnny Football Involved In Two More Autograph Sessions



ESPN's Outside The Lines is now reporting Manziel took part in two more autograph signings for merchandise dealers last January. The first took place in South Florida during the title game, the other took place in Houston a few weeks later. Florida-based Kevin Freistat reportedly arraigned the sessions, rumored to be a total of 1,500 items. Add the original report of 1,100 for Drew Tieman, and two northern-based brokers who claim they paid $7,500, that's six signings for three different brokers across three states in one month.
Outside The Lines also reported on signed items removed from e-Bay following a complaint from the "rights holder", which ESPN reports was prompted by the Manziels' legal representation, J. Bennett White of Tyler, Texas. That jives with Bruce Feldman's report of Manziel merchandise dealers getting shut down on e-Bay, and a Florida dealer saying "if anyone has an ax to grind, pick any of those people."
