Johnny Manziel, the winner of the Heisman 2012 Trophy of Texas A & M and the former quarter-back of the NFL, knows everything about the fact that the sports media space has evolved given his work in university football and with his podcast “Glory Daze”.
This is why he congratulates the star of the Chiefs of Kansas City, Travis Kelce, for his work on the “New Heights” podcast with his older brother, the former center of the Eagles-Philadelphia Jason Kelce, especially after having his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, to come as a special guest.
The latest episode of “New Heights” exploded with Swift making her very first appearance on a podcast, where she not only entered her Chiefs Fandom, but also unveiled her latest album.

However, there are detractors, who reprimand the chiefs tight for his activity outside the field. The word “distraction” has appeared since its relationship with Swift has become public.
However, Manziel considers the situation very differently, because he does not think that Kelce companies in the field impact it with regard to his regular day job.
“Yeah, listen, the guy is a real one,” Manziel told PK Press Club Digital while discussing his partnership with Sling TV before the football season. “I think nobody would deny how much he loves the game and puts his heart into play every week, week after week as he has been doing for years. He is a special person, so nothing he does, that he steals for New York for dinner with his daughter during the season or anything. Listen, there are some people who move a little differently.
Travis Kelce takes credit for transformed Taylor Swift into a “swallowed” football fan
“But I know with certainty, and everyone who is a fan of chiefs knows it, when Sunday, Thursday or Monday takes place, there is certainly one or two people in this team which will be ready, justified and amplified to win a football match [and he’s one of them]. Everything else is right: “Hey, we have to earn a living. We have to make a bag. We have to create something for each time we have finished playing. I think he did a great job. “”
Now Kelce is not the only current player to have his own podcast. The Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons, has hers every week during the season, and just like the Kelce brothers, he gives frank assessments on his own team and the rest of the league.
Whether it’s current or old players, Manziel explained how much he likes to listen to those who really cross the football game instead of those outside.
“I think what the media world is now changing where guys leave the field and transform it into what we saw with” New Heights “or” 4th & 1 [With Cam Newton]”Or the list can continue with guys who do great things in the media,” he said. “I think it gives a big” for boys, “the atmosphere and the environment for those who have spent a lot of time in the game, who know the game.

“There are a lot of people in the world who think they really know, really football and the NFL and how is it – this player is good and that. You know who really knows? The guys who have been in the league for 13, 14 years. Guys who really did it week after week who know everything. I like to listen to people who are really the experts.”
Although the game is discussed, Manziel makes a good point on the atmosphere “for boys”, where things can be funny, personal and much more than the game.
This is exactly what happened with “New Heights” and Swift – the world took a peak behind the curtain of one of the most popular couples in the world.
However, Come Gameday, Manziel knows that Kelce will always be locked up, regardless of the noise and overhaul of the grill.
A different way of looking at football
Manziel has teamed up with Sling TV, a subsidiary of Network Corporation, to promote a different way of watching football this season – which really takes the consumer into consideration.

Sling TV offers three new streaming subscription packages: Day Pass for instant access 24 hours a day, a weekend pass, which gives Friday to Sunday access and a weekly pass for full access of seven days.
Regarding football, especially at the college level, not all fans want to pay a bonus for the games they will not watch. Manziel likes him to choose the right subscription in streaming with Sling TV to meet his observation needs.
“I receive these notifications on my phone who say:” You are billed in the amount X for this or that. “I say to myself: ‘guy, I’m just trying to look at the ball.’ To make something start at $ 4.99, and you choose the one you want – you want a day, a week, a weekend.
