Attorney who sent errant text withdraws from Johnny Manziel's case

ESPN.com news services 11:12 AM EDT

An attorney who inadvertently sent a text message to The Associated Press expressing doubt about whether Johnny Manziel could stay clean has withdrawn from representing Manziel in his domestic violence case.

Manziel's spokeswoman, Denise C. Michaels, tweeted Monday that associate attorney Bob Hinton was leaving the case, information she said was confirmed by Manziel's lead attorney, Jim Darnell.

Last Wednesday, Hinton, in a text sent to AP, said he doubted the former Cleveland Browns quarterback could remain clean while seeking a plea deal in his case. He also texted that a receipt indicated Manziel might have spent more than $1,000 at a drug paraphernalia store less than a day after he was reportedly involved in a hit-and-run crash on June 20.

1. They're going to change his nickname from Johnny Football to Johnny 8-ball the first time

the word "cocaine" comes up.

On edit: My apologies, I just googled "Johnny 8 ball" and they're way ahead of me.
