Johnny Manziel is back in the new Fan Controlled Football league: 'I'm a little bored'

Johnny Football is back.

Well, kind of.

Manziel, the former Heisman Trophy winner, is expected to start on Saturday with the Zappers in the Fan Controlled Football league — a new modified football league “where fans call the shots.”

“A big reason I’m here is I’m a little bored,” Manziel said, via USA Today. “I’ve been playing golf five days a week, hanging with my boys and playing cards and running around Scottsdale having a blast with a great group of friends that I’ve acquired out there. But I don’t have much of a schedule unless I create one, and I haven’t really created one.
