Browns' coach not worried about QB

BEREA, Ohio — When the Cleveland Browns hired Mike Pettine as their coach this past January, he probably didn’t think he would reference an inflatable swimming pool raft in a news conference following the first practice of mandatory minicamp.

But rookie quarterback Johnny Manziel set up that unpredictable scenario this past weekend by continuing to, as he puts it, live his life to the fullest.

The 22nd overall pick in this year’s draft, Manziel fled to Austin, Texas, on Friday to embark on a series of adventures.

A photograph of him drinking from a big bottle of alcohol atop an inflatable swan at a lounge and sports bar called Rio Austin went viral.

Manziel also was captured on a TMZ.com video frolicking in Rio’s rooftop pool with a woman and the now-famous swan Sunday before attending Game 2 of the NBA Finals, where he rooted for friend and business partner LeBron James while wearing a Cavaliers hat.

It was the third consecutive weekend in which Manziel, who was also drafted Saturday in the 28th round of the MLB Draft by the San Diego Padres, has enjoyed the nightlife in another city. He created a stir by partying in Las Vegas during Memorial Day weekend. The next week, he was in Los Angeles for the NFL Players Association Rookie Premiere and was caught on camera entering a nightclub to rendezvous with friend and famous rapper Drake.

Pettine wasn’t concerned about Manziel’s Vegas vacation, and he insisted Tuesday that he’s not worried about Johnny Football’s persistent partying, either.

“I’m not concerned,” Pettine said. “I would become concerned if it was something criminal, and I would be concerned if it affected his job. I think there’s a lot of our guys if when they leave here, if they were followed around you’d get some very similar pictures. I don’t know about an inflatable swan, but you’d still get some pictures.

“He doesn’t want his lifestyle or how he lives it to be affected by social media.”
