Johnny Manziel is trying to hit the "reset" button in Cleveland. Now that he's apologized to everyone in his life and has the support of his teammates once again, he's making a change in his living situation. Recently released from rehab, Manziel's moved out of his downtown Cleveland apartment in an attempt to avoid the temptations of city life. Basically, he's going to try go out less and football more. Or, alternatively, play more golf.
According to ESPN's sources, Manziel's new digs are inside a golf community in a suburb west of Cleveland. ESPN added that golf has been a "constructive outlet" for Manziel since his return from rehab.
The Metropolitan at the 9, Manziel's old apartment building, was the site of a 20 person "riot," as police called it, in November after a drunken fan tried to hug Manziel outside of his building. The fan was punched in the face before he could touch Manziel, which then became a whole thing. It's probably right for Johnny Football to move on from that area of the city, and from that building in general. Bad vibes.
A more mature Manziel has yet to publicly speak since coming out of rehab—probably a sign of his supposed growth and/or the effective job his handlers are now doing.
Hopefully nobody shows up to Manziel's new house on some Project X tip. Temptation is hard to beat.
