Johnny Manziel's Life Continues to Spiral: "He's a druggie. It's not a secret that he's a druggie. 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." -- Johnny Manziel's father Paul in a phone interview Friday with ESPN
If you've ever talked to someone who has a loved one with a drug addiction, they reach a point where they sound just like Paul Manziel. Pure despair. It sounds like Johnny's troubles are far past the issue of whether he could ever return to football.
