Manziel's father isn't helping him by constantly making statements to the press. He's said that he doesn't expect Manziel to live out the year - how can that possibly help his son? Constantly humiliating an addict to a huge public audience isn't going to encourage them to get help.

Instead of feeding reporters' desire to track his son's slow motion train-wreck of a life, Manziel's father would do far better to get his son into a treatment program. If he can't do that, he can at least shut up and stop airing his son out to the media.

Manziel has been through rehab and was participating in an aftercare program when he relapsed. He then refused to go back to rehab.
