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.. |

Starting to feel sad for him. He knows damn good and well what he is jeopardizing. Was his dad a satellite dad?

That's a HUGE mistake by the lawyer.
That being said, good for dad. |

I have known twins with the exact same upbringing. One of which became a total junkie, the other, a very successful member of society.
It is very often that parenting plays a huge role, but some of the best parents ever can still produce people like Johnny. |

His ****ed up gypsy family created the monster. Good that he's trying to draw the line now, but drawing it 20 years ago would have done him a lot more good.

Yeah this is 100% his dad's fault. He had 10 years to instill some good values in this kid and failed before he became rotten. Even so that is your son and you can't just throw him to the wolves like that. He needs something to come back to when his life comes crashing down around him or else he'll go right back to the crowd that got him in this mess and never get out.
