Johnny Manziel officially has one more hurdle to overcome before getting back to the NFL, if he decides that he wants to get back to the NFL.

According to KRLD-AM in Dallas, sources in in the Dallas County District Attorney’s office say that Manziel has been indicted on a charge of misdemeanor assault with bodily injury.

The incident occurred in late January between Manziel and his ex-girlfriend, Colleen Crowley.

The indictment occurred even though, per KRLD-AM, a settlement has been reached between Manziel and Crowley. Typically, a civil settlement in cases involving potential criminal charges will result, directly or indirectly, in a short-circuiting of the criminal case.

It’s unknown whether Crowley testified before the grand jury. It’s possible that the evidence was strong enough to indict Manziel without her testimony. The real question would then be whether a conviction can be obtained without her testimony.

Mrs Crowley, what went on in your head?
Oh, Mrs Crowley, Johnnys career is dead?
Your life style to me seemed so tragic
With the thrill of it all
He fooled all the people with draft day magic
Yeah, you waited on Clevelands call
Mr. Charming, did you think you were pure?
Mr. Alarming, in nocturnal rapport
Uncovering things that were stupid
Manifest on casino security cam
Conceived in the eye of a secret
And they scattered after RG3
Mrs Crowley, won't you ride my white horse?
Mrs Crowley, it's symbolic, of course
Approaching a time that is classic
I hear that Dallas phone call
Approaching a time that is drastic
Standing with their backs to the wall
Was it polemically sent
l want to know what you meant
I want to know, I want to know what you meant, yeah

Sadly not a thing will happen to him because he settled with her.

This will probably close the door on this asswipe's NFL career. Thankfully.

I kinda chuckle when people say "oh he's an addict he needs help".

No. He needs to grow up and be accountable for the crap he does.

He isn't an addict, he's an immature asshole with a lot of money. There is a BIG difference.

I'm not defending the guy, but this reeks of piling on to me. This incident happened a long time ago and furthermore, what freaking grand jury is assembled to hear a misdemeaner charge?

It seems to be the popular new thing to report on the latest sludge that is Maziels life. I could'nt care any less than I already do.

He busted her eardrum from slapping her. It wasn't that long ago, it was earlier this year, maybe 2 months ago.

You are probably thinking about the time he was hitting her and she jumped out of the car to get away.

Enjoy the seats from the what could have been section while you watch your 30 for 30 about how you blew a potential NFL career for stupid reasons.

When are they just going to stop reporting about this loser. He is a nobody at this point. Giving him press is just fueling his fantasy playboy image. I would be happy if I never read another thing about him.

Very true. I agree. He never cared about football, just the lifestyle that came with it.

-- careless about domistict violence ??
- I'm curious how the law handles a case like this !!
Dude busted her eardrum . F'd up !! He had already beat her up before. A-holes can blame her ,but he has to be accountable for his actions.
---If you care so little ? Why post ??
--I think he is a punk , but then again always wondered how his game would look in the NFL. He is small & scrambles a lot. I remember Fran Tarkington running around making crazy plays.
Aaron Rogers & Romo make crazy plays in desperation.
Just my 2 cents.Hope he does some kind of time !! -- I believe he will find his way back in the NFL.(Dallas -/Harding & that LB out of Alabama after beating & shooting at a dude who also lost hearing.
-- In court the hearing is not always right with justice.

I certainly didnt post to debate YOU.

I also did not say i could'nt care less about domestic violence, my reference was to Johnny Manziel.

I post here because I can. I am a member.

Thanks for your 2 cents.

Waiting for a thread to pop up soon featuring this question "Hey why don't we bring him into camp now to compete for the starting QB job? What's the risk!?"

Waste of taxpayer money....anyone else would have been arrested immediately...Johnny would have been in court already.
