ESPN is actually reporting he is living with Josh Gordon. The below quote just proves he just doesn't get it. While the quote may be true without any story behind it, it is not true for Johnny. I would stay a mile away from him right now.

*****************
"I don't think there's anything wrong with partying, bro," Manziel said. "There's a difference between partying and being out of control."

I would say that quote does apply to Manziel. He just doesn't realize he is out of control and not just partying.

It might be an interesting exercise in fact checking and football knowledge/judgement to see which CZ members 'wanted' Manziel when it seemed like the Cowboys might pick him in the draft


Hmmmmmmm.....

I'm on the correct ledger on that tally. The non-Jerry ledger, that is.

The guy obviously suffers from alcoholism and needs real help.

Yep. He's on a bad path, for sure. Most of the time we're so envious of the positions these guys have worked to put themselves in, we don't realize the level of stress that comes with it. Can you imagine having the weight of a billion-dollar organization riding on your shoulders at 22? And the media and public attention that comes with that? Many players handle it with no problem. Some of them eventually crack.

Manziel's been a boozer since high school, hell his dad bought him a Mercedes if he would slow down partying. has nothing to do with stress. Idiot would rather party than play QB in the NFL, his choice. My worst fear is he gets a reality show and never goes away.

He'd be perfect for the USFL if it was still around. Maybe the Arena League.

I don't know if he was or wasn't a boozer in high school, but he's still clearly an alcoholic. That doesn't make him an idiot. I makes him chemically dependent and somebody who needs help.

I don't think 'responsibility' was ever his problem

I suspect it's far worse than even that.

He's been seen snorting cocaine in public bathrooms with camera phones rolling. He's been in violent confrontations with his girlfriend. He's not committed as a player to watch film and study, and he openly lies to his coaches and organization on a host of matters.

This is more than a substance-abuse issue.
