Johnny Manziel Sounds Off on Philadelphia Eagles’ Superfan

As the Philadelphia Eagles navigated through their successful 2024 Super Bowl run, ‘Million Dollaz Worth of Game‘ host Gillie Da King became the team’s biggest hype man.

Although the Super Bowl run is over, Gillie is still taking his victory lap as a fan. Recently, he rubbed in the Eagles’ Super Bowl victory, trading shots with Cam Newton.

“Cam ain’t never had one of these!” said Gillie, who was holding the Lombardi Trophy. “I ain’t going back and forth with you. Thank you, Jalen! Appreciate you, Jalen!

The viral video of Gillie calling out Newton caused former NFL quarterback Johnny Manziel to step up and sound off on the podcast host.

“Yo @gilliedakid you may be the biggest [expletive] loser on the planet,” Manziel wrote on X.

“Talking like you’ve [expletive] done anything on a football field. If I see you just know I’m going to slap the [expletive] out of you, trust.”

Manziel then followed up by expressing his “love” for Gillie’s podcast, but making it clear he didn’t appreciate the comments towards Newton. While eagerly waiting for Gillie’s response, Manziel publicly stated he would like to “set up the Rough & Rowdy” and “call it a day.” Rough & Rowdy is a boxing promotion owned by Barstool Sports. It is promoted as “boxing chaos like you’ve never seen before.”

The Gillie-Newton situation stems from the former Carolina Panthers quarterback’s criticism over Jalen Hurts’ standing as a top quarterback in the NFL. As the Eagles’ passer just wrapped up a Super Bowl-winning season, where he was named the game’s MVP, Hurts still hasn’t gained recognition as a top five quarterback in the league, for the most part.

Cam Newton recently explained why he believes that Hurts shouldn’t even be placed in the top ten.

“Jalen Hurts is a great quarterback, but if we’re talking about what they bring to the table, it’s hard to judge what Jalen Hurts can do when you’re throwing to a guy like AJ Brown, DeVonta Smith, you have tight end skillset, you have a dominant defense, the best running back in the game.

“Jalen Hurts does not have to play elite for the Philadelphia Eagles to win. He has to play good—but he doesn’t have to play elite. We’re not asking you to win the game, we’re just asking you not to lose it.”

Since Gillie, a Philly native, grew up as a fan of the Eagles and has been embraced as a high-profile supporter of the team, he felt he should defend Hurts by publicly calling out Newton on multiple occasions.

Manziel seems to be waiting impatiently for the podcaster’s response.
