Johnny Manziel's Father Says His Son is a "Druggie" and He Hopes He Goes to Jail
Johnny Manziel, once just a target of sports media members and opposing fan bases, is now being trashed by those closest to him. On Friday Manziel was publicly – if not always intentionally – trashed by his agent and father. First his agent accidentally sent a text message to the Associate Press implying he would fail a drug test. Then his father spoke to ESPN and spelled it out as clearly as humanly possible. Per Adam Schefter’s Facebook:
"“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 seeked 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. I hate to say it but I hope he goes to jail. I mean, that would be the best place for him. So we’ll see.”"
It’s been an eventful week for Manziel. First he posted some pictures of himself and his father to Instagram for Fathers Day. Then on Monday night he was apparently involved in a hit-and-run accident.
