Manziel won't face discipline from NFL over domestic incident

Cleveland Browns starting quarterback Johnny Manziel will not face discipline for a domestic incident last month involving his girlfriend in which he admitted to drinking.

From the league:

Consistent with the procedures of the league's Personal Conduct Policy, we have examined the available evidence regarding the recent incident involving Johnny Manziel. Our investigation included a thorough review of information from law enforcement and our own interviews with multiple individuals, including the two involved in the incident. Based on the information gathered, we have concluded that there is an insufficient basis on which to take disciplinary action. In all cases of this nature, under the Personal Conduct Policy our concern goes well beyond the issue of discipline, and we have made comprehensive professional resources available on a confidential basis.

Manziel released the following statement Tuesday:

I appreciate the NFL's diligence and discretion in reviewing a situation that was both personal and embarrassing. Colleen and I cooperated fully with the NFL's process and completely support their goals of making sure that every family under their umbrella is safer and more secure. I'm grateful that the review was so thorough and fair that there should be no question left in the public mind about what actually happened. I'm looking forward to focusing my energies on our start against the Ravens and bringing in a win for our fans in Cleveland.

Officers determined Manziel was not intoxicated when his car was spotted traveling at high speeds and using the shoulder of Interstate 90 in October. Manziel and girlfriend Colleen Crowley were reportedly arguing in the car at the time, with Crowley at one point apparently attempting to exit the vehicle while it was still moving.
