Manziel makes court appearance

Dallas

A Dallas judge has ordered former Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel to have no contact with the alleged victim in his domestic violence case.

Manziel was in court less than 15 minutes Thursday as Judge Roberto Canas set conditions for his release on $1,500 bond. Manziel cannot contact ex-girlfriend Colleen Crowley, nor can he be in possession of any firearms.

The Heisman Trophy winner from Texas A&M was indicted last month after Crowley said he hit her and threatened to kill her in January.

No plea was entered, but defense attorney Robert Hinton says Manziel plans to plead not guilty.

The 23-year-old Manziel faces a misdemeanor that carries a penalty of up to a year in jail and a $4,000 fine. A status hearing was set for June 24.

PITTSBURGH

The Pittsburgh Steelers release offensive tackle Mike Adams on Thursday, with the designation that he had failed a physical.

Adams was a 2012 second-round draft pick out of Ohio State and is a Farrell, Pa. native. Adams started six games as a rookie.

He missed all of the 2015-16 season after having back surgery.

Pacers fire Frank Vogel

INDIANAPOLIS

Frank Vogel will not return as Indiana Pacers coach next season.

Pacers President Larry Bird says the team will not renew Vogel’s contract for next season. Bird says he believes it’s time for a new voice, keeping with his long-held philosophy on short shelf lives for coaches.

Vogel was 250-181 in five and a half seasons with the Pacers. He led the team to the playoffs five times, including a first-round loss to the Toronto Raptors this season.

Bird says this is one of the toughest decisions he’s ever had to make in basketball. He calls Vogel “the best” but says he started thinking about making a change around the All-Star break.

Ole Miss ‘shocked’ by Tunsil’s comments

Mississippi coach Hugh Freeze said he was surprised by former Rebels offensive lineman Laremy Tunsil’s statement he accepted money from a coach while at the school and is trying to stay patient while the university continues its investigation.

Freeze said Thursday on an SEC teleconference he is not involved in the “fact-finding process” and was “shocked like everyone else” when Tunsil acknowledged after being selected by the Miami Dolphins at the NFL draft that he accepted money.

There was also a post on Tunsil’s Instagram account — which he said was hacked — showing an alleged text conversation with a football staff member about arranging payment for bills.

The football program is already under NCAA investigation. The school received a Notice of Allegations in January.
