Former Buffalo Bills receiver Andre Reed is no fan of Jon Bon Jovi or
Johnny Manziel.
As Reed prepares for induction into the Pro Football of Fame in Canton,
Ohio, this weekend, he took some shots at the rocker who is part of a
Toronto-based group bidding to buy the Bills to possibly move the
franchise to Canada and also the Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback who
is making headlines with his off-the-field actions.
"Man, (expletive) Bon Jovi!" Reed told New York Magazine. "You might as
well just take this city, throw it in the river, and let it go down
Niagara Falls."
Reed also was critical of Manziel, citing a recent tweet by Johnny
Football calling LeBron James "my guy" after the Akron native announced
that he was returning home to Cleveland to play for the Cavaliers.
"Who the (expletive) is Johnny Manziel?" Reed said. "LeBron ain't your
guy! You're not 'Johnny Football.' You're 'Johnny Rookie Bitch.'"
