I'd be willing to bet it's alcohol and/or cokeI would love to see it if you have a link to what he was in rehab for.
Considering he is drinking in public, I am actually assuming (ASSUMING) his rehab stint was for something else, like drugs.

I am all up and down the Manziel thread saying that all the "alcoholic" talk is sort of out of line considering how serious alcoholism actually is, and how I do not think the dude is an alcoholic based on what we know of him just being an idiot.........................but come on man. At the very least he has an irresponsible drinking problem.

If Johnny Manziel gets to Dallas...so smart of him to Jackass his way out of Cleveland...where QBs die. He basically used his reputation to force the Browns hand without suffering the consquences that Carson Palmer did when he demanded a trade from Cincy, but had to sit out for over a year because Cincy wouldn't release or trade him.
Romo's back is going to last much longer and his game is very similar to what Johnny wants his to be.
Johnny as America's team's QB...that's must watch TV.

as dumb as Jerry Jones is, it won't take him long to realize Manziel is as bad on the football field as he is with his life.

Hate seems to lower the bar when it comes to sticking to the facts. In this case, it is even more odd considering you really don't need anything beyond the known facts to criticize him.

so you really think he wasn't in rehab for alcohol? and yes...you are trolling...you enjoy doing it. You even said it could be something other than alcohol or drugs despite the fact he went to a facility that treats alcohol and drug addiction.Not sure what this would be trolling.. pretty clear I am not defending Manziel at all here.

You left it off at:
- alcohol
- drugs
- "anger issues" (er, doubtful, but ok)

I think Johnny went to rehab because he thought it would make him look better in the eyes of the league and also the Browns, maybe fans also. As in, it's better to look like you have a problem rather than looking like a complete idiot.
Whether or not he has any sort of actual drug/alcohol addiction, who knows. But I think that is why he went.

Who's angry? The only people you might perceive as angry are the people arguing with your nonsensical form of communication.All that is necessary to refute my observation would be for someone to provide the source that allows them to make a factual claim regarding the reason for his rehab.
Until then, I don't really get all the angry over this.

- I'll throw out that the 9ers could be interested. Kelly took in Tebow, Kaep may move on and every team needs a project QB. Not to mention between Kaep, Gabbert there isn't a big block there anyway, including at backup.

I have no idea what he was in rehab for, also, but you do know that about 80%-90% of alcoholics who get sober relapse at some point? So I have no idea why him drinking in public makes you think his rehab was for something other than alcohol.matuski said:I would love to see it if you have a link to what he was in rehab for.pantherclub said:

I thought people who enter into substance abuse programs are supposed to refrain from using any substance?
It seems less likely that it was for alcohol though because of him posting videos drinking with friends and family. Based on the report of being discovered with a rolled up bill in Vegas, I'd put money on the coke side.
Regardless, he's got impulse and maturity issues. I actually think he'd do alright in Dallas though, Jerry would hire babysitters like he did with Dez.

When he got pulled over with his girlfriend and was not charged. they claimed they had one or two, which had to be true for him not to be charged. I got news for you.

It's common sense. If it was alcohol the narrative would be "Johnny relapses".As I've acknowledged several times over - could be. Of course...
