No link, it's too disgusting to comtemplate. Even Johnny's father is
worried about him. That's coming from one of Johnny's biggest
enablers, so file that one under hypocrisy.

What a train wreck!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Todd_Marinovich
"Because of this great debut he started the following week against the
Chiefs in the playoffs, but was very poor, throwing for just 140 yards with
4 interceptions in a 10-6 loss and smashing a locker room mirror with his
helmet after the game.
After the Raiders began 0-2 in 1992 with Schroeder as quarterback,
Marinovich became the starter. --- Marinovich started against the
Philadelphia Eagles, seeing three of his first 10 passes intercepted.
Schroeder regained the starting job and Marinovich never played again in the
NFL.
Marinovich had serious substance abuse issues throughout his NFL career.
During his rookie season he increased his partying and drug use beyond
marijuana, including taking pharmaceutical amphetamines before games.
Because of his college arrest for cocaine possession, the NFL required him
to submit to frequent drug tests. Marinovich passed the tests using friends'
urine, but after using the urine of a teammate who had been drinking
heavily, the test registered a blood-alcohol level four times the legal
limit and caused the Raiders to force him into rehabilitation. The Raiders
held an intervention for him after the season, and Marinovich spent 45 days
at a rehab facility. In the 1992 season Marinovich shifted to using LSD
after games because it would not show up on the drug test. His play suffered
and his coaches complained he was not grasping the complex offense. He
failed his second NFL drug test and went back into rehab. In training camp
before the 1993 season, Marinovich failed his third NFL drug test, this time
for marijuana, and was suspended for the 1993 season. ---
After traveling for two years Marinovich attempted to join the Winnipeg Blue
Bombers of the Canadian Football League, but blew out his knee on the first
day of training camp. During recovery one of his high school friends
introduced him to heroin. Soon after Marinovich was arrested for drug
possession and served three months in various jails. In April 1999
Marinovich was cleared to reenter the NFL, but suffered a herniated disk
playing recreational basketball. That summer he tried out and received
interest from the San Diego Chargers and the Chicago Bears, but failed the
physical examination. So he signed as a backup quarterback with the BC Lions
of the CFL. His use of heroin and cocaine increased and his weight dropped,
as he would spend almost all of his free time using drugs. At one point
Marinovich severely cut his hand with a crack pipe during halftime and had
to covertly bandage himself. ---
Arena Football League. Despite undergoing severe heroin withdrawal he had a
strong season, tying the record for most touchdowns in a single game by
throwing 10 touchdowns against the Houston Thunderbears. Marinovich was
named to the all-rookie team, and as the Avengers' franchise player, but the
day he received his signing bonus he was arrested for buying heroin."
