Updated (Feb. 4): Mars public relations firm says the Snickers ad featuring Johnny Manziel had run its natural course and had been scheduled to leave the commercial rotation before the player entered his treatment program.

The spandex-clad Johnny JamBoogie wont be seen leading any aerobics classes for a while. WithBrowns quarterback Johnny Manziel recently checking himself into a rehab facility, the folks at Mars, parent company of Snickers, have decided to pull that ad.

The news comes on the same daythat Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon was given at least a one-year suspension by the NFL for repeated substance-abuse violations. ESPNs Darren Rovellposteda tweet Tuesday afternoon which included this quote from a Mars spokesman:

The decision to seek treatment is an important personal choice, and we would like to respect Johnnys privacy during this time.

As always planned, we currently are running the brand new Youre not You When Youre Hungry spot that aired during Super Bowl XLIX.

After falling in the NFL draft before being takenby the Browns with the 22nd overall selection, Manziel hada rockyfirst year in the NFL. He received almost no playing time behind starting quarterback Brian Hoyer until the teams 12th game, when Manziel led a touchdown drive against the Bills.

Manziel finally got a start in Clevelands 14th game, but he performed dreadfully against the Bengals, completing 10 of 18 passes for 80 yards, zero touchdowns and two interceptions, adding just 13 yards on five rushes. In the next game, versus the Panthers, Manziel was just 3 of 8 for 32 yards before injuring his hamstring.

That injury ended his season, but Manziel got himself suspended for the Browns final game after he missed a treatment session for his hamstring. The quarterback adamantly denied reports that he had thrown a party the night before andwas hung over, but he did acknowledge that he needed to stop looking like a jackass.

Either Im going to learn or Im going to be finding something else to do, Manziel added, but it wasnt long before he was back to making news for his late-night habits. In one January instance, the quarterback reportedly had drinks thrown at him at a Houston nightclub.
