Johnny Manziel & Braylon Edwards on Browns Beef, Miami Party Stories, & Ohio State Hatred
On this episode of Glory Daze, Braylon Edwards and Johnny Manziel break down what it was really like playing for the Cleveland Browns. From Braylon’s days at Michigan and his unapologetic hate for Ohio State, to Johnny reflecting on the whirlwind of his NFL years, the two connect over their parallel journeys through hype, pressure, and controversy.
The conversation goes straight into their rocky relationship with the Browns — how it felt playing for a city that never fully embraced them, the tension with the organization, and what it was like navigating the weight of Cleveland’s expectations. They share memories of hanging with LeBron James, life in the Cleveland spotlight, and how off-field distractions often became the headline.
They also reflect on life after football, leaving Cleveland behind to party in Miami during the season, and how those choices still shape their legacies today. This is a conversation full of honesty, perspective, and the kind of behind-the-scenes stories that every sports fan will want to hear.
You can check Braylon out every day on "The Braylon Edwards Show" on the Woodward Sports Network.

Johnny Manziel, Mike Evans & Von Miller Sit Down for a Texas A&M Tell All
It’s an Aggie takeover on Glory Daze as Johnny Manziel interviews two fellow Texas A&M legends — Mike Evans and Von Miller — in two, can’t-miss conversations. Three Aggies, three incredible careers, and a whole lot of stories that fans have never heard before. When we started this podcast this is the episode we had in mind.

Hearing it straight from the quarterback and receiver who lived it is as close as you’ll get to being back on the field.
Then Johnny catches up with Von Miller, diving into his journey from Texas A&M star to Super Bowl MVP. Von opens up about playing alongside Peyton Manning, what it took to win on the biggest stage, and the lessons he’s carried through his career.

Anthony Rizzo & Johnny Manziel on the Cubs' World Series, a Missed Dynasty, and the Yankees Trade
In Episode 8 of Glory Daze, Johnny Manziel sits down with Anthony Rizzo to talk about one of the most iconic moments in sports history: the Chicago Cubs breaking the 108-year curse and winning the 2016 World Series. Rizzo relives the intensity of that postseason run, the magic of playing at Wrigley Field, and what it felt like when Chicago was the center of the baseball universe. From rain delays to rally speeches, it’s a behind-the-scenes look at a championship that redefined a franchise.
The conversation also turns to the aftermath — the "what-ifs" that still haunt Cubs fans. Rizzo reflects on the team’s young core and how different things could have been if they’d kept guys like Kris Bryant, Javy Báez, and Kyle Schwarber together. He also opens up about the emotional rollercoaster of being traded to the Yankees, building chemistry with Aaron Judge, and what it’s like playing under the bright lights of Yankee Stadium. Plus, he shares a hilarious Aroldis Chapman story that you won’t want to miss.
