Paul Manziel, the quarterback's father, told ESPN's Josina Anderson that he wants his son to get well but that he has to do that for himself.
"He's a druggie. It's not a secret that he's a druggie," Paul Manziel said Friday. "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."
"I had him in rehab and he escaped and the doctors let him go, and that is a whole other story." Paul Manziel told ESPN on Friday. "So, I mean, I had him and the system failed. It didn't work. He has more money than me so he can outrun me.
"Like I said, there are two things are going to happen: He's either going to die, or he's going to figure out that he needs help. It's one of the two. But we've done everything that we can do. Life goes on. You can't just chase somebody that's not willing to listen."
Wow seems like parenting is part of the problem

Paul Manziel knows that he and his wife Michelle are harshly judge for their son's failings.
"We're so far past that," he said. "That was years ago. We're so far past what everybody thinks we are past. People are ignorant. It's just a horrible story. That's all there is to it."
"I'm done. I'm done talking about it," he said. "I'm doing my job, and I'm going to move on. If I have to bury him, I'll bury him. That's the fact. So if not, if he calls me and needs help, I'll go get him. Until then, he's on his own. I've done everything I can do. There is nothing [else] I can do as a father. Nothing.... It is, what it is. He's a druggie and everybody needs to accept it."
Anderson asked Paul Manziel to share Michelle's sentiments about the situation.
"We're done,'' he said. "We don't have the energy to spend anymore. We're done," he said. "Life goes on. I'm not going to keep talking about it. I'm just moving on. If he needs me, I'll come get him."

Paul sounds like a really great Dad.

I'm a firm believer that every man controls his own destiny, but an even bigger believer that parents define the path that their children walk. I take no responsibility away from JFF, but his parents deserve 100% of the blame as well. Collectively they are 200% responsible for the piece of **** that he is now, and it's even worse that they (the dad) keeps giving interviews that condemn a son without any fault of themselves. That whole family is ****.

Parenting problem? Maybe....maybe not. Unless you personally have had hands on parenting experience in a similar situation, I say you have no room to make that assessment of the parents.

I bet he's claiming it was on accident but was really on purpose bc they wanted to get this out in the media bc they don't know what else to do to get through to him. I can't fathom any attorney worth two ****s is that incompetent

I can't believe Mike Pettine is still after him. I bet somehow Hyman is pulling the strings on the whole vendetta against Manziel. And his dad is clearly getting paid to say all these things.
Im sure you think you are funny, and I apologize in advance for coming down on you because you certainly aren't the only one casting stones.
Aggies laughing at Manziel make me f'cking sick. A person who brought us all great joy has his life is crashing in front of us & some just giggle like school girls. Pathetic.
It's a tragedy what he has done to himself. I hope he gets it together.
