Johnny Manziel hasn’t played in an NFL game yet, but he already leads the league in trademarks.

Manziel has filed for a trademark to the term “Johnny Cleveland,” according to ESPN. That makes 10 trademarks that Manziel’s company, JMan2 Enterprises LLC, has filed with the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office.

Manziel’s other trademarks include “Johnny Football,” “JFF,” “ManzIIiel” and “The House That Johnny Built,” the latter a reference to the renovated stadium at Texas A&M.

People other than Manziel have attempted to trademark terms including “Johnny Browns” and “Money Manziel” but have been denied, as a name identifying a living person cannot be registered as a trademark without that person’s consent.

I would share that one with Mr Pipi except he thinks Manziel walks on water, and anything that doesn't support his opinion is "fighting words".

Personally, I think Johnny Whoever is an arrogant little shit who will probably get injured someday with his on-field running crap. If I were his coaches, I would tell him to knock it off.
