Manziel's father fears for son's life

The life of Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel has apparently taken such a dark turn that his own father fears for his son's life.

"I truly believe if they can't get him help, he won't live to see his 24th birthday," Paul Manziel told The Dallas Morning News. Paul Manziel also told the News that his son has twice in the last week refused to enter treatment at a rehabilitation facility.

The family first tried Saturday afternoon to get Manziel, 23, to agree to go to the Enterhealth Ranch addiction facility in Van Alstyne, but he would not stay.
