Johnny Manziel Sounds Off on Philadelphia Eagles' Superfan
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. As the Philadelphia Eagles navigated through their successful 2024 Super Bowl run, 'Million Dollaz Worth of Game' host Gillie Da King became the team's biggest hype man. Although the Super Bowl run is over, Gillie is still taking his victory lap as a fan. Recently, he rubbed in the Eagles' Super Bowl victory, trading shots with Cam Newton. "Cam ain't never had one of these!" said Gillie, who was holding the Lombardi Trophy. "I ain't going back and forth with you. Thank you, Jalen! Appreciate you, Jalen! The viral video of Gillie calling out Newton caused former NFL quarterback Johnny Manziel to step up and sound off on the podcast host. "Yo @gilliedakid you may be the biggest [expletive] loser on the planet," Manziel wrote on X. "Talking like you've [expletive] done anything on a football field. If I see you just know I'm going to slap the [expletive] out of you, trust." Johnny Manziel throws a pass during half time of the spring game at Kyle Field on April 24, 2021 in College Station, Texas. Johnny Manziel throws a pass during half time of the spring game at Kyle Field on April 24, 2021 in College Station, then followed up by expressing his "love" for Gillie's podcast, but making it clear he didn't appreciate the comments towards Newton. While eagerly waiting for Gillie's response, Manziel publicly stated he would like to "set up the Rough & Rowdy" and "call it a day." Rough & Rowdy is a boxing promotion owned by Barstool Sports. It is promoted as "boxing chaos like you've never seen before." The Gillie-Newton situation stems from the former Carolina Panthers quarterback's criticism over Jalen Hurts' standing as a top quarterback in the NFL. As the Eagles' passer just wrapped up a Super Bowl-winning season, where he was named the game's MVP, Hurts still hasn't gained recognition as a top five quarterback in the league, for the most part. Read More: Famous Eagles Fan Trades Shots With Cam Newton Over Jalen Hurts Debate Cam Newton recently explained why he believes that Hurts shouldn't even be placed in the top ten. "Jalen Hurts is a great quarterback, but if we're talking about what they bring to the table, it's hard to judge what Jalen Hurts can do when you're throwing to a guy like AJ Brown, DeVonta Smith, you have tight end skillset, you have a dominant defense, the best running back in the game. Download Madden and see how many stars are on the offensive side of Philly," said Newton "Jalen Hurts does not have to play elite for the Philadelphia Eagles to win. He has to play good—but he doesn't have to play elite. We're not asking you to win the game, we're just asking you not to lose it." Since Gillie, a Philly native, grew up as a fan of the Eagles and has been embraced as a high-profile supporter of the team, he felt he should defend Hurts by publicly calling out Newton on multiple occasions. Manziel seems to be waiting impatiently for the podcaster's response. For more Philadelphia Eagles and NFL news, head over to Newsweek Sports

'Take Jalen's d**k out of your mouth': Johnny Manziel goes full savage on Gillie Da Kid in the weirdest football beef of the year
Johnny Manziel just went full savage on Gillie Da Kid in the weirdest football beef of the year. Of all the random feuds to erupt on the internet, this one might take the crown. Johnny Manziel, the former Cleveland Browns QB and poster boy for what-could've-been just launched an unfiltered verbal missile at rapper-turned-podcaster Gillie Da Kid. Why? Because Gillie came at Cam Newton over Jalen Hurts. Yes, it's that messy. The whole drama started with Gillie Da Kid criticizing Cam Newton and Manziel wasn't having it To really get this mess, you have to rewind a bit. This whole feud kicked off when Cam Newton dropped his list of the top 10 quarterbacks in the NFL and straight-up left Jalen Hurts off it. Gillie Da Kid, a proud Philly native and co-host of 'Million Dollaz Worth of Game,' was not about to let that slide. Cam Newton's Top 10 QBs for the 2025 Season Things escalated when Gillie publicly called Cam 'fraudulent' for how he handled the Jalen Hurts situation. He accused Newton of staying silent when the Eagles QB was getting dragged by media and fans during the team's slump only for Cam to suddenly speak up for Hurts after Philly re-committed to him. Gillie's whole vibe was: Where was that energy when Jalen was under fire? Then, at his birthday party, Gillie held up a prop Lombardi Trophy and trolled Newton with the line: 'Cam ain't never had one of these.' He also added that he was 'done going back and forth' with Newton but the jab had already landed. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo So now we've got Manziel, a guy who hasn't touched a football professionally in years, beefing with Gillie over something Cam Newton didn't even comment on.

In one, he wrote: 'Yo @gilliedakid you may be the biggest fucking loser on the planet. Talking like you've fucking done anything on a football field. If I see you just know I'm going to slap the fuck out of you, trust.' And just when you thought it couldn't get any more unhinged, Manziel added: 'Take Jalen's d**k out of your mouth for a couple minutes. Pretty sure he's already got a chick.' Oof. No metaphors, no filters, just pure chaos from Manziel's keyboard. Fans are confused, Cam Newton is quiet, and the internet is eating it up Reactions online have been priceless. Some fans are dragging Manziel for having the audacity to come at anyone considering his NFL flameout. One user clapped back, 'IK JOHNNY MANZIEL AIN'T TALKING 😂😂😂,' while another asked if this was the same guy who fumbled his career over 'a little cocaine and OxyContin.' Johnny Manziel just went full savage on Gillie Da Kid in the weirdest football beef of the year. Others are just here for the mess, with comments like, 'Not the beef I was expecting to see today,' and 'This feels like an episode of a fake football reality show.' Meanwhile, Cam Newton has said exactly nothing, which tracks, he didn't even respond to the original Gillie clip. So what's the verdict? Just another chaotic NFL-adjacent internet moment There's no real winner here, except maybe the X algorithm. Gillie Da Kid was firing shots at Cam Newton for being quiet. Then Johnny Manziel came in hot with threats and NSFW language, defending who exactly? Hurts? Cam? Himself? No one's really sure. But what we do know is this: it's 2025, and somehow Johnny Manziel and Gillie Da Kid are trending over Jalen Hurts drama from months ago. Also read - "Micah wanna be an Eagle": A.J.

"Micah wanna be an Eagle": A.J. Brown's comment blows up amid Micah Parsons and Cowboys fallout
(Image credits: IG/X) What started as a tense offseason for the Dallas Cowboys just took a spicy, NFC East-shaking turn and the Eagles might be the ones laughing. After Micah Parsons' emotional statement blasting Cowboys management, Eagles star wideout A.J. Brown previous comment is making rounds on the internet. Now with Cowboys legend Dez Bryant backing Parsons and Parsons himself looking fed up with Dallas, fans are wondering, is this how the NFC's biggest rivalry gets even more personal? A.J. Brown says Micah Parsons 'wanna be an Eagle'and it might not be just talk On one of the episodes of the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast, A.J. Brown didn't hold back. He said exactly what Philly fans wanted to hear: 'Micah wanna be an Eagle. He loves Philly.' And here's the thing, it actually makes a lot of sense. Parsons is a Pennsylvania native. He grew up in Harrisburg. He went to Penn State. His roots run deep in the Keystone State. With his Cowboys situation imploding, Philly might not just be a random name-drop, it might be a real possibility. And let's not forget, Micah Parsons and A.J. Brown are both represented by powerhouse agents and are well aware of how public perception shapes career leverage. Brown saying that out loud? That's not an accident. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Most Beautiful Female Athletes Right Now Undo That's a message. Micah Parsons calls out Cowboys in emotional goodbye post, says he 'no longer wants to be here' Micah Parsons posted a long, heartfelt note to Cowboys fans. In it, he made it clear: he's tired of the front office drama, failed negotiations, and feeling like he's risking everything for a team that won't commit. 'Unfortunately I no longer want to be here.' He revealed that his agent reached out to the Cowboys multiple times to start contract talks and they were met with silence. No texts. No emails. No effort. Instead, Parsons says the team let media narratives spin while he stayed quiet, hoping something would get done. But now? He's done being quiet. Dez Bryant backs Parsons for standing his ground: 'Much bigger than football' Cowboys legend Dez Bryant wasted no time chiming in. He reposted Micah's statement and gave him full support: 'I respect that you are standing on business... What you are doing is much bigger than the game of football.' Translation: Dez knows how ugly things can get with the Cowboys front office. He's been there. He sees Parsons not just as a player taking control, but as a new-generation athlete refusing to play the same games past stars did. The respect is real. Is Micah Parsons really headed to Philly? It's not just a fantasy anymore Micah Parsons in midnight green would send shockwaves through the league. He's one of the most explosive defenders in the NFL, and pairing him with that Eagles front seven would be terrifying for the rest of the NFC. While there's no official trade talk (yet). Whether it's posturing or a genuine shift, one thing is clear: the Cowboys-Eagles beef just got a whole lot more personal.
