This was inevitable.

With all of the scrutiny that rookie quarterback Johnny Manziel is under and all of the questions surrounding his partying, his Cleveland Browns teammates have characterized the situation as an unwanted sideline situation.

"Yes, because it's a distraction,'' Browns rookie running back Terrance West said. "We're here to play football and it's all about all of his off-the-field stuff, so it's a distraction.''

West emphasized that he doesn't think Manziel is doing anything wrong.

"He's enjoying life,'' West said. "He's not doing anything negative. He's not getting arrested or getting DUIs or anything like that. I don't think it's a big deal. Everyone's supposed to enjoy life and have fun.'

"He enjoys life but he's also out here signing autographs for kids and there's also a good side. Everybody's always focusing on the negative, but there's a lot of positive too.''

Manziel is annoyed about the questions, too.
