He's been circling the drain for awhile with his partying, and it's only gonna get worse.
Manziel's an alcoholic who desperately needs help. It's that simple. He likely was one already in college to begin with.
The drugs may or may not be a more recent thing, but obviously aren't anything positive.
For the time being, he has the money to fund all this loony behavior. Still, if I'm his family, I do my best to organize and intervention. If nothing else, they have to tell him that he's cut off from the family unless he decides to get help. The likelihood of it working is minimal, but they should at least try. Otherwise, if they go about things business as usual with him, they're essentially enabling him on some level. There has to be some kind of consequence for him. Maybe family cutting ties will send a message. Either way, he has to want to get well for his own sake, and for that to happen he has to hit bottom - as he sees it.
Sad thing to watch, but nobody to blame but himself. I'd like to see him get help and stick with it. Forget football, he's a prime candidate right now to not see his 30th birthday, if not sooner.
