SAN ANTONIO After the Dallas Cowboys decided to select Notre Dame offensive tackle Zack Martin with the 16th overall pick instead of Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel, Cowboys fans in Tyler decided to show their disapproval by purchasing a billboard that said "Tyler, TX is now Cleveland Browns territory, paid for by former Cowboys fans."
The billboard was put up by a group of donors who are "diehard Aggie and Johnny fans," according to the Twitter account of one organizer's wife. The billboard is located at a prominent highway intersection in Tyler, where Manziel was born. He attended high school in Kerrville.
Manziel already is incredibly popular in Texas and around the country. He led all rookies in jersey sales after the draft, and stores around the state have begun to carry Cleveland Browns No. 2 jerseys.

Sick of rooting for a team that gets their hopes up, only to crush them, I guess.

No danger of that with the Browns.
