Johnny Manziel makes amends with ESPN’s Paul Finebaum

Johnny Manziel

Johnny Manziel and Paul Finebaum appear to have smoothed out their issues.

Finebaum, a radio host for ESPN and popular SEC figure, tweeted some praise at Manziel on Monday after watching the former Texas A&M quarterback’s interview on “Good Morning America.”

Watching @JManziel2 interview again and appreciate his candor. Handled incredibly difficult subject with aplomb. Many suffering have already reacted on show and say Johnny helped them immensely by speaking out. Like everyone, hoping for the best.

During the interview, Manziel revealed that he suffers from bipolar disorder and used alcohol to treat his depression.

Manziel seems to be all about the fresh starts, as he told Finebaum he’s letting go of any “dislike” he had for the host.

As we all know you have been one of my biggest critics. I had a certain dislike in my heart about you that I’ve let go of. There’s more to life than just football and my health as a person comes before football everyday of the week. I appreciate you saying this.

— Johnny Manziel (@JManziel2) February 13, 2018

This is yet another sign that Manziel is maturing. He seems to be in a much better place mentally as he continues to repair his public image and attempt a football comeback.
