Johnny Manziel: I was born during halftime of a Cowboys game.

Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel has been busy training for the NFL; too busy to party like a rock star during Super Bowl Week (it was pretty cold up there) and too busy to do anything that TMZ would care about.

Recently he decided it was time to share with the media--and when I say share I mean share.

As could be expected he made it real clear that he wants to be the No. 1 pick in the draft--shocker, right? It would be the perfect story if Houston was to take him--Texas born player coming from a Texas college to lead the Houston Texans. 

That's not the point of this post though. No, it's what he shared with the Star-Telegram that is. While talking with a reporter from the Telegram he talked about meeting Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys, and what their conversation was like:

“I got a chance to meet Jerry," Manziel said. "I didn’t know him. To get a chance to sit there and talk with him – the guy is an absolute football fanatic. I really enjoyed meeting him. Until my mouth was sore from talking, and my ear was tired from hearing all of it, we sat there in his suite at Cowboys Stadium and talked for hours. It was awesome to see how he really is, how passionate he is about everything..."

Here's the best part:

"...Me growing up as a Cowboys fan – I was born at halftime of a Cowboys game..."

Go ahead and take this time to smile, laugh, roll your eyes, etc.

"...that would almost be a folktale in the correct direction. We'd have to call that Johnny something else. I don't know what it would be."

Ummm...TMI Johnny? Maybe? Just a little?

Johnny should not be faulted for saying it though (he could have shared when he was conceived; now that would have really been TMI). He's just trying to endear himself to the general public by sharing some personal info. He already has the party animal crowd in his back pocket. 

Now its times to draw everyone else in.

Why Mom and Dad would share that with him....that's another question all together
