Yes, actually it is. 71.75 does not = 72, which he said he would be at. It's a pretty objective thing and easy to know. So either, 1) he knew he would be just under but still BSed that he was 72 inches. or 2) He didn't really know for sure but still felt the need to make it a point that he be 72...ergo, BSing. 3) He trusted someone that told him he was 72 inches and never bothered to confirm. So he called his shot without actually checking the work...BSing and naive. It's a small thing in the scheme of things (no pun intended) but I just don't understand why he felt the need to call it out before hand.
I could make a thread about the .99 garbage and my hatred for it. I'd rather have the European style where tax is already including in the sales price. Our system is so stupid.

CollegeFootball 24/7 @NFL_CFB Follow #Texans coach Bill O'Brien on Manziel: It's less about height than it is about how he's built. 11:33 AM - 21 Feb 2014
PDS @PatDStat Follow One concern I have with Johnny Manziel is knowing him and Case Keenum produced in the same O in college. How did Keenum's transition go? 12:32 PM - 21 Feb 2014 PDS @PatDStat Follow Forced Keenum to be a NFL quarterback and showed he has a long way to go.

Manziel at the combine: INDIANAPOLIS -- Johnny Manziel met the media at the NFL scouting combine. Here’s a sampling of what he had to say -- after being measured at 5-foot-11 and 3/4: Asked if he could comment on his measurables (height, weight): “No sir. I play with a lot of heart, play with a lot of passion. I feel like I play like I’m 10 feet tall.” Manziel On the biggest misconception about his game: “I’m looking forward to showing up all the people that are saying that I’m just an improviser. Feel like I worked extremely hard this year to all-around hone in on my game, so continuing to do that, working out in San Diego, continuing to do that and getting better as a pocket passer and as a quarterback in general.” On the difference between Johnny Manziel and Johnny Football: “Johnny Manziel is a guy, I’m from a small town of Kerrville, Texas, 20,000 people. Get lost in kind of the people who make me out to be a big Hollywood guy. Really just still a small-town kid.” On what separates him from the other top quarterbacks in the draft: “I feel like I play the game with a lot of heart and a lot of passion that really is unrivaled. It’s the way I was brought up, the way that I was taught from when I started playing competitive football in high school. My coach, coach Julius Scott at Kerrville High, it didn’t matter who you were, what kind of player you were, he treated everybody the same and really taught me no matter what the situation was, fight til the very end and don’t show any weakness really.” On what makes him special: “I’m probably one of the most competitive people on the face of this earth, whether it’s sitting here playing tic-tac-toe or rock, paper, scissors or whatever it may be, I want to win. It’s something that really, dating back all the way to being a kid, I don’t like the taste of losing, leaves a really sour taste in my mouth. I’m an extremely competitive person, at the same time I want to be a great leader as well.” On why he’s not throwing at the combine: “I’m participating in everything except the throwing. From what I’ve told every team, if they want to work me out privately, any throw they want to see me make at my pro day, any interview, any question they want to ask me, any throw they want to see me make at any time, I’m more than willing to do that. I’ll be in a situation March 27 where I’ll have Mike Evans and a group of receivers that I’ve very comfortable with, very familiar with that I want to give those guys an opportunity to go and show what they can showcase as well. Extremely hard decision for me not to throw here, I’m an extremely competitive person. It’s something that my agent really kind of advised me on, but at the same time telling these teams anything they want to see, anything they want to hear from me, more than willing.” Link:http://espn.go.com/blog/cleveland-browns/post/_/id/4154/some-of-manziels-combine-comments
The buzz Friday morning was about former Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel being shorter than expected, with huge hands. Manziel's hands measured at almost 10 inches -- 9 7/8 to be exact -- while he was just shy of six feet tall. Good news for Manziel, who would love for the Houston Texans to take him first overall: coach Bill O'Brien doesn't care too much about height, but he does love a quarterback with big hands. "It’s really important because of the grip of the football, especially in bad weather games when you have to grip the football," O'Brien said. "I think it’s an important trait for a quarterback to have." O'Brien's apathy for the height stat stems from the fact that it's not complete enough to offer a full picture of the player's physical attributes. "Is he a skinny 5-11 or is he a stout 5-11?" O'Brien said to a question that was not specifically about Manziel. "Does he have bigger hands or smaller hands. All those things go into it I think. It’s not just what his height is."

Why is everyone all, "wah wah, Keenum offense, wah" - but everyone is was all, "damn, RG3 is a great rookie, he was running that Keenum, right on, brah"?
I am no RG3 fan for that same reason. He ran a simpleton offense in college as well. Look what happened this year
The minute he was forced to go through his progressions and throw with anticipation he failed miserably
3200 yards 16 TDs and 12 ints with a 60% completion percentage in 13 games for a 2nd year player while playing injured.... Very harsh to say the kid failed miserably. But to each his own.
"If the quarterback is not tall, look at his hands. That is the biggest coaching point to finding a quarterback. How big are his hands, and how well can he control the football? The heigh of the quarterback is not the important thing. No one playing quarterback throws over the line. They throw through lanes in the lineman. The important thing is the size of his hands" Chip Kelly...
