BEREA, Ohio -- Like reading a blitz, Johnny Manziel knew the questions about his off-field wildness were coming. Custom Washington Redskins Jerseys . So the Browns quarterback struck first. "At the end of the day," Manziel said, "Ive made some rookie mistakes." On the eve of Clevelands first training camp practice, Manziel offered some regret about his well-chronicled weekend partying over the past two months. But as he prepares to battle Brian Hoyer for a starting job, Manziel said hes in good standing with his bosses. Its time to get to work. From here on, hes Johnny All About Football. "Theres some things that I wish I couldve gone back and done a little differently," Manziel said. "But Im continuing to move forward and trying to represent this organization in a positive manner and a positive light, so just very excited to be back in camp and its football 24/7 and thats what I love doing. Thats what I live for and its what my job, so for me, Im very excited to be back and cant wait to get this underway." Manziel addressed his fraternity-guy-gone-wild behaviour, which included photos of him hanging out poolside in Las Vegas with Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski, swigging champagne on an inflatable swan pool raft in a Texas nightclub and a shot of him rolling a dollar bill in a bathroom. Manziel didnt say hell change completely, but vowed to be focused on football going forward. Manziel opened his news conference by discussing his off-field exploits, saying he has spoken to Browns coach Mike Pettine and general manager Ray Farmer. "For me, my main thing is, people within this building, my teammates, the coaching staff, the higher-ups in this organization weve all been on the same page," he said. "Weve all been good and very eager to be moving forward." For weeks, the Browns downplayed Manziels antics. But as his questionable conduct continued and after the startling photo surfaced of Manziel with the rolled-up bill, Pettine reached out to the 21-year-old while he was on vacation. "Ive talked about that with Coach Pettine," Manziel said. "Ive talked about it with Farmer and the people I needed to talk about that with. Moving forward, theyre good with everything. Ive told them everything that I need to, and everythings been good." While acknowledging he could have made better decisions, Manziel also defended his lifestyle. "I dont think theres anything wrong with me going out and having a night life, having a social life," he said. "I mean I am 21 years old and I do like going out and it was the off-season. Its free time for us and if I want to go out and hang out with my friends or go to nightclubs or do things like that then I think thats within my rights to be doing that. "I think theres other guys throughout the league that are doing that and Im not trying to compare myself to anybody else but I think thats within my rights to be doing that." Manziel doesnt think his busy social calendar will hurt his chances to beat out Hoyer. "I dont believe so," he said. "I think there are definitely things moving forward to help better act as a professional. At the same time, Im still learning how to do that. Im still getting used to this role, still getting used to this league, still getting used to being a pro football player. "Im not in college anymore. Theres things I need to do better, and thats just part of being a professional. Hopefully with time and going through this season and as time goes on, Ill get better at doing that." The former Texas A&M star enters his first camp as Clevelands No. 2 quarterback behind Hoyer, who will get all the reps with Clevelands starting offence during the first few days of camp. Pettine, who earlier this week said he wants to name his starter "pretty quickly" believes Manziel enters camp well prepared to compete with Hoyer. The continuous controversy surrounding Manziel has somewhat overshadowed Hoyer, who has worked his way back after suffering a season-ending knee injury in his third start last season. The homegrown Hoyer is certain hell hang on to his starting job and be behind centre when the Browns open at Pittsburgh on Sept. 7. "Im confident I am that guy, but in the same sense I know if it comes down to the fact Johnny does beat me out I will have given everything I can and he will have totally earned it," Hoyer said. "Thats what you want. All I ask is the opportunity and a chance to earn the job, and thats what Ive been given. For me its about going out every day and proving I can be that guy I believe I am."

Olt, who grew up in Branford, Connecticut, attended UConn and made a nearly 2 1-2 hour trek to Boston a handful of times to watch the Red Sox, belted a two-run homer, one of four hit by Cubs in a 16-9 rout that completed a three-game interleague series sweep.

A 19-game winner with the New York Yankees in both 2006 and 2007, Wang spent most of this year at Triple-A for the Yankees and Blue Jays. The 33-year-old right-hander was 1-2 with a 7. ATLANTA -- Gavin Floyd was impressive in his first start in a year, giving the Braves a chance to end their longest losing streak in two years. Justin Upton homered and scored the tiebreaking run on Chris Johnsons eighth-inning single, and the Atlanta Braves beat the St. Louis Cardinals 2-1 on Tuesday night to end their seven-game skid. "That felt good," Johnson said. "Its big. We werent panicking too much. We were relaxed, even though we lost seven in a row." Floyd allowed one run on six hits in seven innings. He made his first major league start since April 27, 2013, for the White Sox against Tampa Bay. He had season-ending Tommy John surgery 10 days later, and his comeback included six minor league rehab starts this year. "It felt good," Floyd said. "There were a lot of emotions, a lot of excitement through this process leading up to it and getting back out there ... not only starting for the first time but trying to get us back on the winning side." Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez had modest expectations for Floyds return. "I didnt expect that really," Gonzalez said. "I expected a guy who was going to scuffle through five, six innings for the first time out. He hadnt been in competition in a year but he sure came out with flying colours. You couldnt ask for anything more. "He was really, really good for the first time in a year." David Carpenter (2-0) had two strikeouts in the eighth. Craig Kimbrel added two more strikeouts in a perfect ninth for his ninth save. With one out in the eighth, Upton singled to centre. Freddie Freeman followed with a liner that bounced off the leg of Randy Choate (0-1) and bounced to third baseman Matt Carpenter for an infield hit. Right-hander Pat Neshek gave up Johnsons single to right field that drove in Upton and allowed Freeman to advance to third. Johnson called the at-bat against Nesheks side-arm delivery "a grind." "It wasnt easy," Johnson said. "That guy is funky. Hes nasty. ... That was jjust a battle between me and him and me trying to get something in play. Troy Apke Jersey. I was able to finally stay on the ball and kind of go the other way a little bit." Choate was left to bemoan Freemans shot that hit his leg, setting up Johnsons run-scoring hit. "If it misses me its a groundball to (shortstop) Jhonny (Peralta), probably a double play," Choate said. "I didnt feel it. I didnt even see it. It just somehow found me and ricochets off me. Thats the way it bounces sometimes and it stinks but what are you going to do?" St. Louis left-hander Tyler Lyons allowed only one run on four hits, including Uptons homer, in six innings. "Great start," said Cardinals manager Mike Matheny. "Its a shame we havent been able to score that guy any runs. ... He had everything working today." Lyons retired the first 10 Braves before Upton snapped a 0-for-12 streak with his team-leading ninth homer in the fourth. The Cardinals tied it in the sixth. Matt Hollidays single to right-centre drove in Carpenter, who led off with a walk. Floyd made the start originally planned for Ervin Santana, whose spot was skipped due to his swollen right thumb. Santana is listed as the probable starter against the Cubs on Saturday. Gonzalez stayed with the structure of the revamped lineup he unveiled on Monday in an attempt to snap the losing streak and hitting slump. For the second straight game, shortstop Andrelton Simmons hit ninth, one spot behind the pitcher. NOTES: Atlantas last win was a 1-0 decision in 10 innings over the Reds on April 27. ... The losing streak was the Braves longest since eight straight losses from May 21-28, 2012. ... Matheny said 2B Mark Ellis was held out for a normal day of rest. Daniel Descalso filled in. ... The series ends on Wednesday night when Braves LHP Mike Minor looks for his first win of 2014 against Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright. ... A scoring change gave Floyd an infield single on his grounder in the fifth originally ruled as an error on Carpenter.
