Johnny Manziel Could Learn From Jamie Vardy's Success As Family And Friends Fear For Former NFL Star

Johnny Manziel

The Judiciary Report first did a story on then NFL quarterback, Johnny Manziel, sounding the alarm on his partying (Partying Your Career Away). In the two years since the Judiciary Report article, Manziel has hit rock bottom this year. He has been dropped by the Cleveland Browns, his girlfriend dumped him after a domestic violence incident that left her deaf and he is currently under criminal indictment in connection with the aforementioned fight. Today, TMZ is reporting Manziel's family and friends are afraid he is going to die from his wild partying. 

Manziel could learn from British Leicester City football player, Jamie Vardy. A couple years ago, Vardy began showing up to training drunk. The Leicester City staff decided to take a proactive approach with Vardy, who was receptive to their suggestions that he control his alcohol intake for the sake of his health and career. Leicester City was fighting off relegation last season. This month, Leicester City hit the news worldwide, as Vardy, its leading scorer and the squad made history in winning the Premier League. Vardy and the team are the success story of the season, as what they accomplished is unprecedented in football. 

You have to make disciplined sacrifices in life to truly get the things you want. Some things money can buy. Others things it can't. You have to develop and protect your talents and gifts in life. Do not squander what God has given you. Make something of your life. Invest in yourself in getting clean and sober. Make an effort to get your life and career back on track.

Johnny Manziel Friends Concerned ... 'He's Gonna Die'

 5/24/2016 1:00 AM PDT BY - Johnny Manziel's drinking and drug use is worse than ever -- but the QB refuses to seek help ... and now people close to him are convinced he's going to die unless something changes soon. Here's what we know ... Manziel has become even more reckless with his drug problem recently -- even blowing lines in front of people he barely knows. "He's in a horrible downward spiral," one source very close to the QB tells TMZ Sports. 

There have been multiple serious attempts to help Johnny -- with one group of close friends recently sitting him down and "confronting" him about his situation. But, as one source put it, "He flipped out and would not hear it." "He's too much of a risk," one high-powered nightclub source tells us ... "He's a good guy, but he's a f***ing mess."...  

Instead, he continues to party like a maniac -- L.A., Vegas, Miami, Coachella, Dallas -- and, as one source put it, "If he continues this way for much longer he will die.” His own father expressed grave concern about Johnny back in February -- saying if he doesn't get help, "he won't live to see his 24th birthday."

This is a follow up to the July 12. 2014 Judiciary Report article "Partying Your Career Away." Former star Cleveland Browns quarterback, Johnny Manziel, has fallen to another low, after being dropped from the team in March (Johnny Manziel Loses Contract With Cleveland Browns After Constant Drinking And Partying).

Manziel turned himself in on assault charges, in relation to a January 2016 domestic violence incident. Party loving Manziel, is accused of striking his then girlfriend, Colleen Crowley, in a drunken rage. Crowley stated Manziel forced her into his car against her will, hit her in the head and slammed her head against the passenger side window in trying to stop her from leaving. Crowley is now deaf in one ear. Manziel posted bail regarding the misdemeanor assault charges and is free pending trial.

Manziel is also in other legal trouble. Manziel and members of his entourage trashed a rented California mansion while partying. They are now facing a significant bill and legal action. Manziel’s father is a millionaire and it has partially absolved the former football player of many responsibilities in life. This lack of responsibility has led to indiscipline conduct, costing Manziel his football career. Manziel is going to regret these days, due to the poor choices he keeps making in his personal and professional life. He is losing prime opportunities many athletes would love.

Johnny Manziel Loses Contract With Cleveland Browns After Constant Drinking And Partying Confirming Previous Site Claims (Video)

Johnny Manziel

This week, the Cleveland Browns have released 23-year-old quarterback, Johnny Manziel, after a string of self-induced troubles beset the talented U.S. football player. In the July 12, 2014 article "Partying Your Career Away" the Judiciary Report warned that Manziel was headed for disaster in what would damage his career. Now it has happened in Manziel being cut by the Browns. 

TMZ captured photos of Manziel drinking in Miami

 

Manziel constantly partied and drank excessively to the point he began playing well below his potential in the professional league (NFL), then ended up in a domestic violence incident in October 2015 with girlfriend, Colleen Crowley. The couple were out partying and drinking. Manziel is accused of dragging Crowley out of his hotel room and into her car. She stated to police that she jumped out of the car in the parking lot, but Manziel stopped the vehicle, dragged her back into the car, then struck her on her head by her ear. Crowley is now deaf in one ear. The blow to the head made Crowley understandably angry. She began hitting Manziel, who threw her off him in the car, causing her to hit her head against the window.

An argument erupted as Manziel drove with Crowley in the car against her will. Manziel threatened to kill Crowley and himself during the violent argument. Sports Illustrated quoted an excerpt from the police report on the incident revealing, "During the drive to Fort Worth, I was crying and telling him ‘I hate you! Just leave me alone! I hate you!’ Respondent then told me he was going to drop me off, take my car and go kill himself. I thought maybe he was on drugs or having a psychotic break so to keep him calm I began telling him, ‘I love you. We can figure this out, we can talk.’ Respondent started laughing at this and I became really scared. I started crying even more and he told me "Shut up or I'll kill us both!" Then I started begging him not to kill me and he immediately responded, ‘I would never kill you. You don't deserve that. I would only kill myself!’ He was not making sense."

Pedestrians witnessed Manziel driving erratically as the two fought in the car. As a result, the pedestrians called police. Though, Crowley declined to press charges and the incident was closed, public outcry over domestic violence later caused authorities to reopen the matter. In February 2016, police announced Manziel is under investigation over the incident.

The couple were constantly partying, drinking and on vacation. This was not great for their health or his career. Manziel is responsible for the choices he made. Nonetheless, I have to question the conduct of some of the people in Manziel's life. Manziel's friends and love interests know he has a drinking issue. Yet, they continued to drink and party with him on a regular basis. The question is why. If you have a friend or love with an alcohol problem, in good conscience you should keep them away from it when you are around them.

Manziel was also putting much of his partying and promiscuity on social networking, damaging his image and earning potential with sponsors/endorsers. The Judiciary Report has warned against this behavior online in past articles [Producer Teddy Riley Lays Down The Law On Soulja Boy Regarding His Daughter (The Dangers Of Putting Too Much Private Info On Social Networking) and Stars With Image Problems That Cost Them Millions Of Dollars and Partying Your Career Away]. Nearly two-years after the Judiciary Report's articles, Manziel's marketing agency LRMR dropped him as a client (January 2016). Manziel's agent also dropped him as a client (January 2016). Both companies' conduct confirms what the Judiciary Report wrote years prior in that coaches/managers/team, as well as endorsers, do not favor trouble prone athletes. It makes them nervous, as they have to protect their brand.  

With Manziel, the potential is there, but the dedication is not. Manziel made the choice that partying was just as important as training and it is not. You have to sacrifice if you want to make it in sports. Sacrifice is a word commonly used by champions. One of the first things my dad, a former football (soccer) player then coach (cricket as well) of many years taught me is that athletes cannot constantly party and drink and reach the top of the sports field. Having fun in the off season to a minimal degree is one thing, but partying and with alcohol week in and week out will damage one's sports career. The body simply cannot handle it. When there's more alcohol in you than a good protein drink, you're gonna have problems.

Johnny Manziel Gets Into Club Confrontation On A Night Of Drinking

Johnny Manziel

Cleveland Brown's quarterback, Johnny Manziel, got himself into more trouble this week. According to TMZ, the athlete nearly got into a fight at a night club in Houston, Texas, when people became aggressive and loud in trying to take his picture.  Manziel threw a birdie at people in the club and they threw drinks at the alcoholic football star in retaliation.

Manziel and his entourage were drenched in drinks that had been thrown at them and temporarily left the club to change. The athlete and his crew returned to the club and continued partying. The time Manziel spends drinking and partying, he could spend training to become the best footballer he can be.

This incident comes on the heels of ESPN host Skip Bayless, calling Manziel an alcoholic last week during a television broadcast, for getting drunk and missing an important team session (ESPN's Skip Bayless Labels Johnny Manziel An Alcoholic After He Gets Drunk And Misses Team Session). That did not stop him from flying to Miami and drinking various alcoholic beverages and partying the night away.

Several months prior, the Judiciary Report warned that Manziel's behavior would damage his career and over the past few weeks it has begun happening (Partying Your Career Away). He's a talented football player. He should not throw his opportunities away via partying his career away. That's not how you become a legend. Many football players in high school and university wish they had the opportunity Manziel does to play in the league. Manziel needs to appreciate the opportunities in his life and make the most of them, lest they are taken from him.

ESPN's Skip Bayless Labels Johnny Manziel An Alcoholic After He Gets Drunk And Misses Team Session

Johnny Manziel getting drunk in Miami yesterday

In the July 12, 2014 article "Partying Your Career Away" the Judiciary Report wrote about U.S. football player, Johnny Manziel, before he turned pro, as the prospect had been indulging in destructive habits prior to his debut with the NFL team the Cleveland Browns. Six moths later, Manziel, who's nickname is "Johnny Football" missed an important team session, due to being absolutely drunk and hung-over. 

The next day, ESPN commentator Skip Bayless, labeled Manziel an "alcoholic" and he's right. All the signs are there Manziel needs help regarding alcohol addiction. The next day, Maziel did not listen and headed to Miami. Despite asking the public not to photograph him drinking and partying, people did and shots of Manziel taking shots of alcohol ended up online.

My dad, a former pro-athlete who coached for many years, emphasizes that athletes cannot drink and party during the season and be at their best in their sport. There is a scientific basis to this. Excessive alcohol consumption slows down your reaction time, pickles your organs, saps your energy and interferes with your focus. However, when athletes are young they believe they are invincible and can do anything. Then reality sets in. You can't do any negative thing and there not be consequences. The body does not work like that.

Make the most of the opportunities you are given in your career. Drinking, smoking, narcotics and partying will hamper your career. You have to discipline yourself if you want to be successful. Alcohol, drugs, smoking and partying is not worth your career. Not to mention, your health.

Partying Your Career Away (Johnny Manziel)

Johnny Manziel is burning the candle at both ends

21-year-old NFL football player, Johnny Manziel, A/K/A Johnny Football, who recently signed with the Cleveland Browns, has come under fire by many for engaging in too much partying. Photos have been making their way around the internet showing Manziel partying with alcohol and loads of women. This is a shaky start to his pro-career. It also makes coaches nervous.

 

Manziel is always partying

The Washington Post wrote, "It's going to be really fun to watch Johnny Hungover try to play quarterback in the NFL with nightclub-baked eyes and the shakes." Former NBA star turned commentator, Charles Barkley stated, "Johnny has to understand, everybody has a cell phone. You have to be careful when you're out in public...Johnny Manziel and his friends are always taking pictures. You should never take selfies of yourself doing anything that can be considered stupid..." 

 

Manziel and a friend out partying and drinking

The negative effects of alcohol on athletes is well documented. It’s one thing to have a glass of wine, but drinking beer and excessive amounts is damaging. Spending time partying when you could be studying plays and training is also inadvisable. The constant partying is wasted time and energy that takes away from one's athletic ability and strength.

Manziel advertised his gambling habit with this photo he posted to Instagram titled "Casino Ballin" prompting heavy criticism from the athletic world 

Manziel is a very promising talent, but if he wants to make a big impact on the NFL, he is going to have to cut out the partying, buckle down, dedicate himself to his craft and make sacrifices. NBA basketball star, Lebron James, is a friend of Manziel’s and he needs to talk to him in an effort to try to get him to calm down before he wrecks his career and life. 

Manziel is always surrounding himself with women, a habit that's jeopardizing his health and sapping his strength. Not to mention, potential sponsors don't like seeing this type of debauched behavior.

In Britain, team managers impose curfews and strict dietary demands on football players. Former Manchester United coach, Alex Ferguson, had a clear cut policy when it comes to partying and excessive drinking. Manziel could benefit from such a regimen, lest his career crashes and burns.
