He tried to shoot himself in the head but the gun misfired when he pulled the trigger.

Only by the grace of God go I — we all have our issues and demons. I hope he gets back on track soon.

He was/maybe still is set for life. That is a terrible battle.

Sadly, not surprising in the least. Guy just couldn’t handle the fame/stardom, and it was evident he crashed and burned even more so than what the public was aware of. Great college player, but didn’t have the maturity/responsibility of moving up to the big times.

That's what being a spoiled , coked out brat will do to you. He was a good football player, but like life and sports, it's 80% between the ears.

I suppose he couldn’t rack another round and get on with it.

He was the luckiest player I've ever seen and it obviously wore out.

Right


Yeah I’m not believing this. A misfire is pretty rare on the first round. You can get them after the first round because of feeding issues.

If he said he tried to overdose then that would be believable.

His college game was a gift to mankind.

He was given a gift by that weapon "misfiring"

He needs to embrace it.

Same.... He might've attempted with a single shot and no bullet in the chamber.

If he does in fact have bipolar disorder it's one of the most difficult mood disorders to live with.

naw dude, naw


Arkansas and Auburn 2012 were disasters, which made the cokehead bitch look better than he was

Bielema showed up in 2013, and made it respectable with a depleted Arkansas roster



Manziel lost 6 games in two years, that's no gift to mankind

Sounds like Johnny needed the weapon to go *click* so he could have a 'cool' story and get some more attention.
