Johnny Manziel, college footballs most entertaining player with the reputation
for pulling off magical plays, was selected with the No. 22 overall pick in the
NFL draft on Thursday night by the Cleveland Browns, who hope they have finally
found their franchise quarterback. Manziel sat patiently in the wings at Radio
City Music Hall, waiting nearly three hours for his name to be called as
everyone from Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers to the leagues official
Twitter account tweeted about him squirming in his chair backstage. Then the
Browns, who made two earlier trades, made another one with Philadelphia and
selected the polarizing and electrifying 6-footer. Manziel walked onto the stage
to meet Commissioner Roger Goodell and rubbed his fingers together, a signature
"money" gesture that endeared him to some fans and annoyed others. In Cleveland,
some Browns backers celebrated Manziels selection like the team had just won the
Super Bowl. Of course, the Browns have never even made it to the NFLs showcase
event and havent won a title since 1964 -- a golden anniversary that will arrive
in December. But Manziel brings hope to a city that has witnessed little but
losing since the Browns returned as an expansion team in 1999. Manziel now must
back up the hype around him. "The team obviously wants to win and wants to win
now," Manziel said on a conference call. "Ive been a winner everywhere Ive been.
Im ready to work extremely hard. " Manziels size scared away some teams, but he
believes his playmaking skills translate to the pro game. "Im used to that by
now," Manziel said. "Ive been scrutinized and nitpicked. Ive proven it from my
first year to my next and I always get better." Manziel is expected to compete
with starter Brian Hoyer, who showed promise last season before suffering a knee
injury. Manziel brings an instantaneous buzz and national relevance to the
Browns, who have made the playoffs just once since 1999 and have lost at least
11 games in each of the past six seasons. Cleveland is on its third coach in
three years, but Mike Pettine is inheriting a team with potential and five Pro
Bowlers on its roster. And now, hes got Manziel -- and the circus that will come
along with him. The Browns have to hope the No. 22 pick doesnt haunt them again.
Thats the pick they also used on quarterback Brady Quinn, whose first-round
slide in 2007 was similar to Manziels drop, and they also drafted Brandon Weeden
two years ago. He was released in March. Theres no doubt Manziel will help sell
tickets and his jersey will be coveted by every young Cleveland fan. But what
remains to be seen is if he can win. Earlier, as Manziel waited, the Browns made
two trades and selected Oklahoma State cornerback Justin Gilbert with the No. 8
pick. With the first deal of the draft, the Browns moved down five spots and
acquired Buffalos No. 9 pick and first- and fourth-round picks next year.
Cleveland then swapped picks with Minnesota, acquiring a fifth-rounder before
taking Gilbert, who they plan to play on the opposite side of Pro Bowler
Joe Haden. "Hes long. Hes fast. Hes explosive. Hes a playmaker," general manager
Ray Farmer said of Gilbert. "Hes got great arm length. Hes got the speed. Hes
got the ball skills. I know some people have questioned his tackling. We cover
like Browns, tackling was good, but it doesnt necessarily need to be great."
Gilbert scoffed at critics who say hes a weak tackler. "Ive heard it before," he
said. "Its something that doesnt bother me at all because I know I can tackle."
Gilbert wasnt sure the Browns were that interested in him until he was getting
ready to head to New York. "Its a dream come true," Gilbert said in a conference
call. "I became friends with him (Haden) not too long ago and hes a great guy
and Im looking forward to playing with him." The 6-foot, 202-pound Gilbert had
seven interceptions last season, returning two for touchdowns. "I pretty much
can do it all," Gilbert said. "Im an all-around cornerback." Cleveland entered
the most important draft in its expansion era with 10 picks, ample ammunition
for Farmer, promoted when president Joe Banner and GM Michael Lombardi were
fired in February, to add talent and depth to a team that went 4-12 last season
and fired coach Rob Chudzinski. During the winter, the Browns, who entered the
draft with five of the first 83 picks, did an exhaustive study on quarterbacks
with Louisvilles Teddy Bridgewater reportedly emerging as the top candidate. In
the end, Manziel was their man.

Major Junior Hockey League play.MILWAUKEE -- Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau favours
wins over style points. Given that two starters were getting over illness or
injury and a third was lumbering through the second half with a new leg injury,
Chicagos 81-72 win over the Bucks on Friday suits him just fine. Carlos Boozer
had 19 points and 13 rebounds in his first game back from a right knee injury
and Mike Dunleavy Jr. added 18 points for the Bulls, who won their fourth
straight. Joakim Noah had eight points, 10 boards and seven assists after
missing practice while feeling under the weather. "You guys are into the
esthetics. Im into the wins," Thibodeau said when asked about the
scratch-and-claw victory after the Bulls nearly squandered a 15-point lead.
Jimmy Butler finished with 10 points and said he was fine afterward after
getting hit in the thigh. The Bucks opened the fourth quarter with a 7-0 run to
get to within three. A long jumper from Ersan Ilyasova (14 points) got the Bucks
to 71-70 with 5:42 left. But the Bulls hung on, even after Boozer missed two
foul shots with 3:42 left with his team up by three. The Bucks missed their
final 11 shots, failing to hit after Brandon Knights bucket with 5:09 left. The
Bulls havent allowed an opponent to score more than 87 in the four-game streak.
"Tried to contest shots, trying to rebound, making them shoot over our hands and
it worked out," Boozer said in relaying the reasons for the late defensive
stand. He didnt look bothered by the sore right knee that kept him out two
games. The Bucks missed two opportunities to tie it after Knight (12 points) and
O.J. Mayo (16 points) misfired on open 3s on back-to-back possessions with under
3:30 left. Dunleavy answered with an off-balance layup to get the lead back to
77-72, then hit two foul shots to get to a seven-point lead with about 1 minute
left. "We had some good looks but they just didnt fall for us," coach Larry Drew
said. "We forced a couple down the stretch that probably werent the best
selection but going down the stretch, if you make plays youll win if you dont,
you wont win."t; After a slow start, Chicago gained traction in the third behind
the bullish Boozer.

Pink. With both knees heavily wrapped in ice after the game, Boozer said
he felt great and made it a point to thanks the trainers. Boozer grabbed eight
rebounds alone in the quarter. Larry Sanders finished with one point and nine
boards before fouling out with 1:16 left in the game. He was in foul trouble
most of the night in large part due to the active Boozer. Boozer rebounded a
missed 3 and saved the possession just before landing out of bounds. Chicago
whipped the ball around the perimeter and Jimmy Butler (10 points) hit a 3 from
the wing to make it 59-47 with about 6:50 left in the third. The energy and
offensive rhythm that Milwaukee had in building a seven-point lead after the
first quarter disappeared in the third before re-emerging to start the fourth.
But once again, the NBA-worst Bucks (7-28) fell short trying to rebound from a
second-half deficit. "Everybody might be a little down as far as the season has
gone for us. Weve lost a lot of close games and it is building up on us right
now but you cant think about that," forward Epke Udoh said. "We just have to be
ourselves and be better the next game." Foul shooting and the long-range touch
of former Dunleavy, who went 3 for 3 from 3-point territory in the second
quarter, helped the Bulls turn a 27-20 deficit in the first quarter into a 47-45
halftime lead. Boozer had 15 first-half points and went 7 of 8 from the foul
line. NOTES: Asked if he had spoken to injured guard Derrick Rose since the
trade this week of Luol Deng, coach Tom Thibodeau said the two talked about the
team in general all the time. "Derricks good. Derricks good. Hes locked into his
rehab, dealing with things as he should be." Rose is out for the year with a
right knee injury. ... Bucks C John Henson, who missed his sixth straight game
with a sprained left ankle, is expected to join the team on a two-game road trip
to Oklahoma City and Toronto. Henson leads the team in rebounding (8.0 per game)
and blocks (2.3).
