    I'm surprised that at this point his super rich parents can't do anything about this behavior. They're friends with the Bush's... surely they can get Johnny forcefully locked up in some secret rehab facility. Or even at home with guards and doctors there round the clock until he's better.

    If you've read some of his father's comments since he started acting up, Johnny's parents lost control of him years ago.

    If you guys remember him saying he was living with Von Miller, he was speaking as if he really believed it.

    Confabulation (filling in gaps of you memory with fantasy--and believing it) is a sign of chronic alcoholism Wernicke Karsakoff syndrome. Very very common amongst alcoholics.

    Funny thing is that it's not the alcohol itself (to a degree it does cause cerebral atrophy) but the malnutrition that stems from it (specifically Vitamin B1-Thiamine). Whenever an alchoholic comes into the ER they automatically get a thiamine infusion. Judging by the weight he seems to have lost and his face, the dude has a serious problem and the damage will be irreversible if he doesn't at least nourish himself.

    Just grab him and stick him with an I.V of micronutrients.

    Yeah, I know they lost control of him years ago, as far as getting him to voluntarily shape up... however, I was thinking that a family rich and powerful enough to be close friends with former Presidents would be able to forcefully attempt to fix the situation, especially one that is this much in the public eye.

    Regardless, I've never been a fan, but I hope he's able to get his chit together before it's really too late.

    What do you mean by "forcefully fix"?

    Literally none of what happens to Manziel is surprising.

    Maybe take a couple of minutes to wonder what young adults in ostensibly super rich families do. There are all kinds of charitable, political or private club outings and hard liquor at each of them. The guy's got high seven-figure signing bonus and he's in his early twenties; it's a little wrenching to see that much self-indulgence without any recourse but that's not particularly rare, even in poor, working adults of that age.
