This Is A Funny Johnny Vs. Johnny Comparison

Johnny Football and Johnny Hockey: a timeline of two careers

Two young, supremely talented young athletes. Both major award-winners at the college level and the owners of distinctively similar nicknames. But that is where their common ground ends and their careers take dramatically different paths, one an unfolding tragedy and the other a triumph thus far.

Quarterback Johnny "Football" Manziel is only 23, but the former Heisman Trophy winner has already been the center of enough misconduct to last a lifetime, the most recent of which got him released by the Cleveland Browns. Meanwhile, Hobey Baker Award-winning winger Johnny "Hockey" Gaudreau, 22, of the Calgary Flames is establishing himself as an undersized NHL star and admirable person in his community.

Here's a timeline of their diverging paths:

9 Ways To Explain To Normal People Why You Love Cars

If you struggle to explain your love of cars to the 'sub-humans', then here are nine great explanations to get you started!

Cars are like people . . . . .

• “Cars are like people. You give them love and they’ll always look after you. You respect them, and they’ll watch your back. But most of all…if you’re willing to work on them yourself, they’ll be your best friend for life.”

Cars are cheaper than cocaine . . . . .

• “Because cars are cheaper than cocaine and a lot more fun.”

Cars never leave you . . . . .

• “Cars never leave you. And you can always make them change and be better without them giving you issues.”

Skyline GTR's & All Of Their Glory On Display

Nissan's Skyline GT-R display is every Gran Turismo player's fantasy

Nissan put together this incredibly impressive display to show alongside the facelifted 2017 GT-R (the only car in this group not to wear the Skyline badge). The vehicles selected are immaculate, starting with the 1969. It's absolutely lovely. So is the far rarer second-generation car, a 1973. Nissan only built 197 of these beauties, compared to the nearly 2,000 first-gen GT-Rs.

The Playstation generation will be most excited about the R32, R33, and R34 on display. With the R32, we have two huge GT-R firsts – it was the first time Nissan applied all-wheel drive and a twin-turbo, six-cylinder engine to its high-performance package. That formula would stick through to today's car. The car shown here is a 1989 model, which is the first year for the third-gen car.

It's followed by a gorgeous 1995 R33. It's a looker, this, but not nearly as pretty as the R34, which builds on the look pioneered here. The R34 in question is the rare M-Spec Nür model, named for the Nürburgring and powered by an upgraded version of the RB26 engine. It's not the V-Spec II Nür from 2002, but it's still a rare, highly sought after piece from the JDM's performance glory days. Finally, representing the non-Skyline GT-R generation, we have the prototype for the R35 GT-R Nismo from 2013. Enjoy the camouflage and that frankly ludicrous wing.

Did You Know - Jack Daniel's Edition

15 Things You Didn't Know About Jack Daniel's

3. It's the best-selling American spirit

• In 2014, Jack Daniel's sold almost $3 billion worth of whiskey. Seeing as the average bottle is around $20, that’s 150 million bottles of Jack Daniel's, give or take. That number might be reduced by a million or so following the passing of Lemmy, but it should keep JD well ahead of the competition nonetheless.

10. No one seems to know what the number seven stands for

• When you order Jack at most bars, chances are you’re getting a shot of Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7. For about as long as it has been bottled, Jack Daniel’s whiskey has borne the number seven, and to this day there is still argument about it. The most popular theory is that his distillery was registered as number seven by the government, though this contradicts our first fact. Others have suggested that it represents his seven lovers (Daniel was never married). Whatever the case, many claim to know for sure, but it’s still a mystery.

15. Jack might have died kicking a safe

• The legend of Daniel’s passing has been challenged by recent biographers, but as it goes, it was his temper that did him in. The company’s books were locked in a safe, and his nephew, Lem Motlow, was the one who usually opened it. One morning, Daniel arrived to work early, before his nephew. He tried to open the safe, but, as usual, could not remember the combination. Frustrated, he kicked the safe, breaking his big toe. This led to a blood infection that, years later in 1911, he eventually succumbed to. Before he died, he passed the distillery on to Motlow and another nephew, though Motlow ended up buying the other out. Motlow died in 1947, and thankfully never changed the name to his own. Because a Lem Motlow doesn’t quite sound like a thirst-quencher.
