Johnny Manziel reportedly showed up ‘inebriated’ to the Browns facility. 

It has been another rough season both on and off the field for quarterback Johnny Manziel, and it seems he’s ended things by bottoming out yet again.

According to a still unverified report from ESPN Cleveland’s Bruce Hooley, Manziel showed up to the Browns team facility under the influence of something and was ‘disheveled’.

This all comes on the heels of reports that he was partying Vegas last night before the Browns season finale against the Steelers — a matchup in which he was a scratch due to a concussion. Manziel reportedly didn’t even show up to the game in Cleveland and was sending all calls from the Browns to voicemail.

Manziel is a tragic character in the NFL, as he has the talent to be great but seems to lack the character off the field to keep himself together. We can’t fully judge Manziel, as his struggles with alcohol are not a place for us to point the finger, especially if we haven’t dealt with those problems on our own.

This has stopped being a football problem that Stephen A. Smith can weigh in on with hot take — it’s an issue that is about Manziel’s health and well-being.

Football and where he should play next shouldn’t be in the topic of conversation; it’s all about Manziel getting better away from the game first.
