BTW this is not a bashing on him cause I think the kid can ball.

The confirmed what you listed below as they know the Manziel's (we live in Texas).  They said $1K to them is more or less $20-30 to your average $150K average HHI family.

They don't have "eff you" money per se, but close to it....

Dont know what their net worth is but from the reading I've done, I get the impression they are worth

Oh wow, two "insiders" and one of them knows the Manziells HAHAHAHAHAHA

You can't swing a dead cat in this city without hitting a $30k millionaire. They're readily identifiable because of their shiny shirts, blacked out BMWs and overpriced Uptown condos.  Take away the terrain and Dallas is just like Los Angeles with fewer fake boobs (though not by much) and better air.

But I don't think real 30K millionaires have apartments in Uptown. Probably Addison.

I have noticed recently though that the shiny shirts with the more impressive credit lines are leaning towards the AMG line of Mercedes. I'm seeing a lot more CL63 AMGs... blacked out of course... being driven by that crowd.

ENNIS, Texas -- Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel recently got a speeding ticket near Dallas and a local judge thought it newsworthy enough to post something on Facebook.

The freshman Texas A&M quarterback got the ticket in Ennis, a small city about 35 miles south of Dallas. The Ennis court did not immediately respond to a request Friday for a copy of the ticket or for details about the incident, which was first reported by USA Today.

A municipal judge in Ennis posted about the ticket on Facebook. Manziel's name wasn't mentioned. Instead, the judge wrote about "a certain unnamed (very) recent Heisman Trophy winner."

Manziel has drawn attention recently for Twitter photos that have shown him drinking champagne at a Dallas club with his mom and flashing cash at an Oklahoma casino.
