Johnny Be Bad: Manziel benched in CFL debut after 4 picks

Johnny Manziel's first pro football start in three years did not go as planned.

Manziel, the former Heisman Trophy winner at Texas A&M, threw four first-half interceptions for the Montreal Alouettes and was eventually benched in a Canadian Football League loss to Hamilton.

Wonder if Vernon Adams muttered "I told you so" as he replaced him.
