Johnny Manziel’s Father Hopes Son Goes to Jail. Calls him a "druggie"
Johnny Manziel’s family has had enough of the NFL free agent quarterback’s ever-growing list of trouble. The former Cleveland Browns quarterback was back in the news this week after he was involved in another hit-and-run accident. And to make matters worse for him, his lawyer, Bob Hinton, accidentally sent a damaging text to The Associated Press. The text, which in part said “Heaven help us if one of the conditions is to pee in a bottle,” also mentioned a potential plea deal in Manziel’s domestic violence case and that the QB spent more than $1,000 on drug paraphernalia shortly after the hit-and-run.
Manziel’s father, Paul, was quite candid about the situation when ESPN’s Josina Anderson asked him Friday for a comment. “He’s a druggie. It’s not a secret that he’s a druggie,” Paul Manziel said in a phone interview Friday. “I don’t know what to say other than my son is a druggie and he needs help. He just hasn’t (sought) it yet. Hopefully he doesn’t die before he comes to his senses. That’s about all you can say. I don’t know what else to say. … “I had him in rehab and he escaped and the doctors let him go, and that is a whole other story. So I mean I had him (in rehab) and the system failed. It didn’t work. “He has more money than me, so he can outrun me. Like I said, there are two things that are going to happen: He’s either going to die, or he’s going to figure out that he needs help. It’s one of the two. But we’ve done everything that we can do. Life goes on. You can’t just chase somebody that’s not willing to listen. The story is not going to change. It’s the same. … “I mean, I hate to say it, but I hope he goes to jail. I mean, that would be the best place for him.” Read more at: http://nesn.com/2016/06/johnny-manzi...tm_campaign=im Last edited by Dave Lane; 06-25-2016 at 07:07 PM.. |

Exactly. Boo hoo. Excuse me if I don't have one bit of sympathy for a rich kid with superb athletic skills who is one of the biggest dumbasses on the planet. This is not his dad's fault. People are responsible for their own decisions, and Manziel has decided over and over to be a complete idiot. |

I thought Daddy Manziel had money? Or his family was rich?

People know good and they know bad. That's it. He chose the latter.

Everything about him as a college player screamed he'd be like this as a pro.

he sounded in the article like he didn't have the money to track him.

His parents reportedly have a net worth of more than $50 million, mostly through inheritance.
Unfortunately, the best parents can produce kids that have issues. I have no idea if Manziel's parents were great, attentive parents. But his father's comments aren't those is associate with a great dad. |

Why not? I have no idea what kind of dad he was, but I don't see anything wrong with his comment to the reporter. What am I missing?

If it was a normal, middle class family, no money involved, it might be a little different but not much. Johnny can go anywhere he wants and his dad knows the only way he'll even possibly get clean is by being locked up. |

And, for what it's worth, I don't think it's his dad's or anybody else's fault. But why discuss all of that with the whole world? I get that it's probably a desperate move to try to get through to his son but that's pretty personal stuff to just throw out to everybody.
