Johnny Manziel’s off-field partying has been bringing a lot of attention to him and for that, he is apologizing to the Cleveland Browns organization and promising to do a lot better.
In a recent statement Manziel says:
“I would like to thank my family, friends, the Browns organization, my teammates, and Browns fans everywhere, for your patience, understanding, and support during my stay at Caron. The doctors and staff have been amazing and what I’ve learned in the last couple of months has been tremendous. I owe private apologies to a lot of people that I disappointed but a very public one to the Browns organization and the fans that I let down. I take full responsibility for my actions and it’s my intention to work very hard to regain everyone’s trust and respect.
“I understand that will take time and will only happen through what I do and not what I say. I also understand there’s a lot of curiosity about this but anyone who has a friend or family-member that’s been through things like this knows it’s an ongoing process. I’m going to continue to ask folks to try to respect my privacy as I determine to what degree I am comfortable talking about a subject which I consider very personal. Most of you have been considerate about that and I thank you for it. I look forward to seeing my teammates next week and focusing on football and my desire to be the best possible player, teammate, and man that I can be.”
I’ll say Johnny has been quiet in the last few months, anyway. Maybe he’s making a change for the better. It’s also said that he’ll be appearing on HBO’s “Hard Knocks” so it’s possible he’ll have to relive all of his drama in the past year anyway.
