(AP)A grand jury has reportedly decided to indict Johnny Manziel on a misdemeanor assault charge stemming back to an incident between the former Cleveland Browns quarterback and his ex-girlfriend.
KRLD-AM, a CBS radio affiliate in Dallas, reported the news, citing sources in the Dallas County District Attorney's office. The grand jury reviewed the case last week.
Manziel has had a controversial and rough offseason. He was cut by the Browns, dropped by two agents, has gotten virtually no interest from any NFL teams, and now has been indicted. On Jan. 30, Manziel and his ex-girlfriend Colleen Crowley had an altercation. Crowley said that Manziel struck her many times that night and suffered damage to her left ear. A protective order was issued against Manziel.

He’s toast now. Even if a team wants him, he’s most likely going to be suspended by the League for quite awhile.
Misdemeanor assault charge..
The saga ..uhh.. trainwreck.. that is Johnny Football chugalugs on..
It takes a grand jury to come up with a misdemeanor?
No wonder Hillary is out there yapping it up..........
Good thing he comes from money. Football was just a temporary side gig to raise his party cred for a couple of years. That’s over now.
What a complete waste of a promising career. I just pray he can turn his life around. He needs treatment badly.

Agree. Our legal system (not always a justice system) believe they have a blank check from the taxpayers. One day they will realize it is gone.
Little bastard needs a baseball bat taken to him.
So any guesses as to the time to his death? I’ll give Johnny Foosball 2 years.
A pampered boy and alcohol are *not* a good mix.
Sounds like Johnny Football has a serious case of “affluenza”.
The only difference between Manziel and Ethan Couch is that Manziel has not killed four people...yet.
What a dumbass.
This SOB gets every opportunity to be a star in the NFL and throws it all away. Smallish QBs can make it in the pros if they’re smart and dedicate themselves. Manziel is a moron with zero work ethic. And now he’s a combo druggie, alcoholic, and hothead. Ryan Leaf of the new millennium.
Wow— was rooting for johnny foolsball when the Brown’s drafted him. What a complete idiot and utter loser he has turned out to be. He flushed his golden nugget of opportunity right down the toilet.
Apparently, since Johnny got his butt fired, the NFL is not shielding him from prosecution, as is their normal practice with top jocks....which Johnny ain’t no mo’.
Agreed. So much talent and so little common sense.
It makes one wonder how the NCAA football gig got so much out of Johnny, while in a college-drinking atmosphere.
One footnote, I think while his NFL career is over....if he could get some kind of rehab and solve this problem....he still has baseball talents, and with two years in the minors...I think he could be on a major league team.
I’ll go negative and cynical. He is finished.
Johnny F&ckup strikes again, quickly closing in on Ryan Leaf’s hold as the number one NFL F&ckup of all time.
That worthless Oakland QB from a few years ago, JaMarcus Russell, is happy to be bumped down to #3 on this prestigious list, followed closely by Todd Marinovich.
