Johnny Manziel's dad: 'My son is a druggie and he needs help'

Johnny Manziel's father, who predicted earlier this year that his son wouldn't live to see his 24th birthday if he didn't get help, says the troubled quarterback is "a druggie" and that he's done talking about him.

"If I have to bury him, I'll bury him. That's the fact," Paul Manziel told ESPN's Josina Anderson on Friday in a phone interview. "So if not, if he calls me and needs help, I'll go get him. Until then, he's on his own. I've done everything I can do. There is nothing [else] I can do as a father. Nothing. ... It is, what it is. He's a druggie and everybody needs to accept it."

"He has more money than me, so he can outrun me," Paul Manziel said.

"I mean, I hate to say it, but I hope he goes to jail. I mean, that would be the best place for him."

Earlier Friday, a lawyer for Johnny Manziel expressed doubts that he can stay clean.

Defense attorney Bob Hinton, who's handling Manziel's domestic violence case, revealed that Manziel may have spent more than $1,000 at a drug paraphernalia store just 15 hours after he was involved in a hit-and-run crash last week.

people demand drugs....they really do....they go to the drs office with a sniffle and they demand an antibiotic....they feel cheated if its not prescribed....

same with narcotics....

heck we had a thread several weeks ago talking about ER docs prescribing anti inflammatory meds instead of oxys or hydros and you'd think the stash of many freepers was being stolen...

we have to change our mindset on drugs and illness and pain....

less is really better...

LOL, was he doing drugs when he did his "money" sign in the end zone? Was he doing drugs when his "friend" was selling his autograph?

Personally, I think all the college football talking heads who kissed this guy's ass while he acted like an asshole own a chunk of his life failure.
