On Saturday morning, Johnny Manziel was sent home early from the Manning Passing Academy in Louisiana after he failed to show up for a meeting. Some people speculated that he missed the meeting because he was hungover after going out the night before. But during an interview with ESPN earlier today, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner said that he did not miss the meeting because he was out late drinking. He refused to reveal whether or not he had anything to drink on Friday night. But he said that he simply overslept on Saturday and that that's what caused him to miss the meeting.

Check out his explanation in the clip above. That's Johnny Football's story, and he's sticking to it. But as far as we're concerned, we agree with Bun B's take on the situation right now:

Great job today @JManziel2 you handled yourself well. Now lets get ready to play some ball!

We're just ready to see Manziel play football again.
