In response to the photo from Burge, Manziel Tweeted, "LOL" or laugh out loud. He then insulted the photo taker, telling the taker, "should have just said it to my face instead of sitting across from us tweeting away. (Expletive).

Just two years ago, Manziel was on the draft stage waving his “money mitts” as he was taken No. 22 overall by the Browns.

Patrons at the bar took photos of the quarterback, who is expected to turn himself into a Dallas County court next week on accusations of kidnapping, hitting and threatening to kill his ex-girlfriend, Colleen Crowley, earlier this year.

TMZ reports that Manziel spent the night hanging with Justin Bieber's tour DJ in the DJ booth. Earlier in the week, Manziel was spotted at a Cleveland Bieber concert.

Many people are worried about Manziel. His father is fearful for his son's life.

Nate Fitch, a friend of Manziel's since middle school in Tyler, recently went on The Ben & Skin Show on 105.3 FM The Fan in an attempt to get Manziel to seek treatment.

Manziel also recently lost his final endorsements by Nike and Panini.
