According to Page Six, while staying in Los Angeles, unemployed draft bust and hopelessly dedicated boozehound Johnny Manziel has been doing exactly what the gawking public has come to expect out of the man formerly known as Johnny Football.

Today in Dude, you really should’ve known better! news, California real estate broker Nicholas Goodwin is on the warpath after Manziel and company left behind $32,000 worth of damages to the $4.5 million mansion he rented the former Cleveland Brown.

Goodwin, whose LA Exotic Life rents vacation properties to rich people, has already served Manziel with a legal demand, seeking to recoup damages. Niki Ghazian, Goodwin’s lawyer, spoke directly to Page Six about the situation:

“Mr. Manziel threw large parties on both nights, causing extensive damage . . . Evidence suggests [Manziel] and his guests were consuming drugs and alcohol . . . and that they caused a disturbance to the neighborhood,” which led to the LAPD being called on April 6.

Goodwin tells Page Six he returned to the house to find it trashed and Manziel crashed on the sofa at 2 p.m. He said, “They were supposed to check out at noon. Manziel was passed out . . . There was cocaine all over the kitchen table, and mushrooms were still out on the table in front of him. There was booze everywhere . . . broken glasses over the floor and a Champagne glass in a tree.” He added, “If they don’t respond to our demand for compensation, we will sue.” Manziel, his lawyers, and Rosenhaus didn’t get back to us.

Cocaine? Check! Alcohol? Check! Magic mushrooms? Check? Johnny Football passed out in a sea of cigarette butts and empty bottles of Patron? Check, check!

Assuming the allegations are true, and it’s fair to say Manziel has lost the benefit of the doubt, this may be the most impressive performance of his adult life. Not only did he and his cohorts cause tens of thousands in damage and alienate celebrity neighbors, like comedian Kathy Griffin, they did it in just two days.

And we’re not even talking weekend rager here. Manziel rented the property from April 4-6, which was Mon-Wed!
