Saturday was supposed to belong to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, but Johnny Manziel did his best to upstage the Royals by announcing his return to pro football on a two-year contract with the CFL's Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
It didn't take long for #ComebackSZN to start trending. Here are some Manziel-related tweets worth checking out:

The Canadianization of Johnny Manziel
When Manziel scores his first touchdown in the CFL he should *launch football in stands* *money sign* *jump into stands* *Buy a Labatt Blue* *shotgun beer with fans* “O CANADA BABAY” *launch beer can* *jog to sideline* *double pistols/thumbs to chest* *shoulder shrug* “Johnny”

What to expect from Manziel on the field
The main thing about the CFL for people who don’t watch is this: it’s a really good league with top notch athletes and coaching.

It’s totally possible, even probable, Manziel struggles there big time.

A tip of the cap
Give Johnny Manziel credit. There have been a lot of other QBs that have said how much they want to play, then refused to take this step. Good for him.

Words from the dude himself
Made the decision today to sign my contract with the CFL and further my football career after a long break. Very grateful for everyone that’s been supporting me along the way. I believe this is the best opportunity for me moving forward and I’m eager for what the future holds.
