Haslam says, “We’ll do anything we can to help him personally and our thoughts and prayers are with Johnny and his family.” He continued: “We’re not worried about Johnny Manziel the football player, we’re worried about Johnny Manziel the person, and I think that’s all we need to say on the issue.”

DALLAS (AP) — Johnny Manziel’s former girlfriend has gotten a protective order against the quarterback. According to the order first obtained by television station WFAA, Manziel cannot see Colleen Crowley for two years. The order says Manziel must stay at least 500 feet from Crowley’s home and place of work, and owes $12,000 in legal fees. The order was signed by district court Judge Mike Sinha on Wednesday.
