Dude planned a family outing for the Memorial Day and then didn't show up.  Reports were he was found in a nightclub.

He's been offered more help than 99.99% of us ever get and keeps on being the turd that he is.

He's fully in a spiral. Of course, it was easy to see this coming when there was pics of him with rolled up dollar bills in a bar bathroom last year.

It's weird though, I've known lots of addicts over the years and none of them act as carefree as Manziel does when he's partying. You'd think that somewhere in his head - even through the booze and coke, etc - that something would tell him it's not a good idea to let random dude's snap selfie's with him, etc.

It just seems at times that he doesn't have a conscience or that he enjoys partying so much that he doesn't even think of the consequences. To say he's not on a good path is an understatement.

People party with athletes, take pictures, hit the bong with them... but because their community has some barrier from the real world, that stuff usually doesn't go public. It's more of a student life thing. But when you get to the NFL, that's out the window. There's web sites willing to pay for a picture of you partying with a first round quarterback. Even if there's no money involved, there's still that five seconds of fame for being the latest anonymous guy in a TMZ piece. And those people don't have the connection like the athlete's fellow college students or members of the organization.

In a wishy washy kind of way I can see why he might want to drown his sorrows, but on the other hand I think to myself.. It couldn't happen to a nicer guy and kind of enjoy reading about his implosion.
Kind of sad so many people are attracted to these things. It's about like people who just can't help themselves to be snapping pictures when they witness some horrific event, but wouldn't bother to help if it meant missing out on getting the great picture of some old lady laying on the street bleeding to death.
