Untold: Johnny Football

Haven't seen it, and don't know how much detail they go into about his family - but everybody in East Texas knows the Manziels and Loggins (his mom's side) were basically the Mafia that controlled all shady dealings in the Tyler / Longview area. The FBI even had to open a branch there ha.

I can recall as a kid playing in junior golf in E TX (1970 or so) - guys would talk about it - "don't mess with those guys" .....(Loggins were great golfers - Manziels played too).

His great grandfather came from Lebanon - played CFB - boxed with Jack Dempsey - later became one of the greatest wildcatters in Texas history - achieved fame as a world famous COCKFIGHTER as well......
