Would you be pissed and want to ship him out if it were a reoccurrence of cancer?Fuck our fans because they are disappointed in an alcoholic who can't kick his bad habit? Really? Calm down dude..

I know you're not comparing alcoholism to cancer.

Beat them damn Rams!!

I've heard from a few people I know that Johnny is back up to his old tricks and it sounds like it's an open secret downtown. I have it on good authority (a CPD cop I know and trust) that he was actually carried out of a downtown bar at 2 AM late last month because he was too drunk to walk. Sure sure, it could all be bullshit, but in my experience in these matters smoke means fire.
I want the dude to succeed here but if these accounts are true, it's gonna be really hard. -
Those quoting the media are often made to look like fools, therefore........
We'll see!

I posing a simple question. If an athlete had a relapse of cancer would you be mad at him? Alcoholism / addiction is a disease. I'll get flamed for that sure but I don't give a shit. It's a fact. I'm not excusing his actions and yes he has to be accountable but I empathize more than hate. I've experienced addiction from both sides of the fence. I'm 25 years clean after rehab for coke and alcohol. Thank god I never tell relapsed but most do. I spent 10 of those clean years with an active addict. I hope he can get clean and realize his potential. Being fired may be what he needs to who knows. I just feel sad for him and his family. Tiamat I'll ad I don't make the comparison lightly as my mother passed from lung cancer. There's a good chance I think this has been an issue over the last month and is behind the signing of Davis.I know you're not comparing alcoholism to cancer.

Did your NA counselor fill your head with that horse shit? Getting recurring cancer is not the same as choosing to snort some lines. Jesus.

I have to agree with Logicls. You cannot compare the to. It is great you are clean but no way near the same as getting cancer again..............Everything else is a choice

so you're familiar with NA yet post this? I understand there are differences and my main point is they are both diseases. I don't expect everyone to understand my point. Whatever I was told must have worked since its 25 years and counting so I'll add a resounding fuck you for the arrogance and condescension in your post.Did your NA counselor fill your head with that horse shit?

Even rehab counselors are being led away from using that term. It takes away the personal accountability of rehab and addiction.

Not apologizing for the kid at all but let's apply some critical thinking here. Wouldn't him partying have gotten out in some way?

Don't get me wrong. He is responsible 100% for his actions. In all likelihood he should have been arrested today. I am aware there is a shift in SOME facilities on how they address the issue. There is solid evidence however to support its a disease. Perhaps my point would have been better made by simply addressing it as such instead of comparing it to another disease. Anyway I still have compassion and empathy for the kid. That doesn't mean he doesn't need some tough love.Crust me there's still a part of me pusses at him for ruining my Browns high since last week lol I also didn't intend for my original post to be a soapbox or confrontational. We are all entitled to our own opinions.Even rehab counselors are being led away from using that term. It takes away the personal accountability of rehab and addiction.

I have 2 sisters who are cancer survivors & 2 dear friends who are clean after many years abusing alcohol & alcohol/drugs. Those 4 people are still near & dear to me, regardless what the vehicle of their health issues may have been. Thankfully, I still have them as active friends & active family.
They have appreciated my support & prayers, both of which were given freely. I wasn't put on this earth to judge others.

Maybe TMZ viewed him as boring so stopped sending the paparazzi. Maybe now they'll send it again.Not apologizing for the kid at all but let's apply some critical thinking here. Wouldn't him partying have gotten out in some way?
And alcoholism is something you can control. Cancer is out of your control. No comparison.

Lol and what do you know of "the source"? Thing is I've read a lot of your political posts. As far apart as we are in this discussion we are very close on plenty of others.Given the source, I am not too worried about it.

The statement from Farmer was pretty awkward.

Sounds like JM was out and his GF was wasted..so he trys to take her home...she gets out of control and they fight...she trys to jump out of car he has to grab her arm from falling out...drives erratically. .... I really dont see much here...hell my wife has done the exact same thing lol.

Proof he was drinking. None. Just some TMZ bs that our usual JFF haters love to find.
He told police he was drinking. What kind of proof are looking for?

If you've been to rehab- rule #1- cop asks you- Hell no ain't been drinking. Obviously- Manziel wasn't trashed- the cop would 100% for sure would have busted him and done a field sobriety.
Initial reports are saying she was tanked. He was released because he was not intoxicated at thr time of getting pulled over. This is all from ESPN.
Lose\lose situation for Johnny- he dumps her on the freeway (for starting a fight)- it don't look good. Ain't no situation alcohol can't make worse.
