ESPN star takes swipe at Johnny Manziel for missing guest spot

However, at the last second, NBA champion Alex Caruso was put into Manziel's spot after the former quarterback backed out. Manziel apologized in a post on his Instagram Stories, saying the reason he had missed his spot was out of his control and suggesting he was battling an illness.

Questions about the reason for him dropping out rose as he was reportedly spotted at the Jake Paul-Anthony Joshua fight the night before in Miami, Florida.

ESPN's Rece Davis still seemed to be unsettled over the situation as he alluded to it in a recent podcast.

"I just wondered, is that what the kids are calling it these days? A bad breakfast? Anyway, wouldn't cast aspersions anywhere. For those who follow closely, you'll be able to read between the lines there. You have to follow a little closely."

Manziel missed a closely contested matchup.
