It's Official

Haslam reminds me of a retired Marine Corps officer. He isn't going to put up with any BS.
Sometimes having an activist owner works- sometimes it doesn't. (Jerry Jones) However- and I'll let Ghoolie comment on this- Haslam was in charge of the biggest chain of Truck Stops in the country. He didn't get that way hiring Bozos to run his gas stations. + he had time as minority owner of the Squealers to investigate how an NFL franchise is run properly. Time will tell.
Yeah, but I just had this Jerry Jones shiver run down my spine before I read you post...
The ONLY thing that Lerner did for the good of the Browns was stipulate 1) the team cannot be moved and 2) no logo on the helmet.
OK can we at least differentiate between AL and Randy...
Al was a hero, whose only errors were Randy... and dieing...
I'm confused about that Philly situation. Seems to me there HAD to be some head butting there, but I would think it might be more Banner & Reid or Heckert & Reid. I guess we'll eventually see.
Any way it plays out, I am excited about an owner who CARES!
Mike
Ditto, Mike... Would not be surprised if there were issues around Vick's contract.
Also have this feeling that Reid (whose contract is up at season's end), may be heading CLE way... Not at all sure how I'd feel about that.

All class, all class.
For the record the Ducks are bitches and I'm not a fan of all the funky uni's. Proud Buckeye through and through here.
I didn't realize I was dealing with a degenerate wanna be tough guy who still lives in his mom's basement.
Stay in New York. You're perfect there.
Now let's see what other fancy swear words you heard while at band camp...
yeah then why are you so fascinated with changing the browns uniform?
my parents and grandparents have been dead for years so i don't have the luxury that you do to live with them.
what i do have is a car and google maps. so let me know where you live or where you want to meet or if you want me to pick you up from the airport. so you can pm me and give me your address or i'll give you mine.
i'll be sure to bring a smart phone or vid camera to show me wrapping your face up in cellophane while you turn purple and squirm like a wallabee on SD's sea shore docks. this of course after kicking in your ribs right outside your sternum.
until i see your address you are a pussy cunt.

Yawn. You pick up the trash from my house, so you should know where I live already.
I'm sure your parents and grandparents are looking down on you now so proud of what you have become and that your vocabulary has stayed youthful...like jumior high youthful.
Ooohh - let's go fight behind the school after classes let out!
Fighting is for those that have nothing to lose. I could have already guessed that you fit that demographic.
CHANGE IS GOOD -

We differ here. Al was not a hero. He was as much the reason the Browns left in the first place as Modell and Michael White were.
He didn't 'save' the Browns. He won a bidding war where he came in after other groups had already proposed to the NFL their bid packages and won because he had ties within the NFL - and paid them off.
If Al hadn't bought them, another local guy would have. And we would have had a much better 12-13 years in the mean time...
Back to the dreaded uni's - I hope they remove the damn 'AL' from the sleeve. The guy should be revered - but not for placing the winning bid to bring the Browns back. He was just the wealthiest man willing to spend the most at the time. He should be revered for his philanthropic work and all - not for owning the crappy team he helped put on the field...

The runner up to Lerner were the Dolan's, who knows how that'd of turned out.
I agree Lerner is no hero, he drove the get away car for Modell.
This is the last year they'll be wearing "AL" .

Wow - I was just joking but you really don't have a life, do you?
Son? Let's see - I've been to 4 Super Bowls, 5 World Series (going this year too), 2 World Cups, 2 Olympics (Summer and Winter), 3 Stanley Cups, Indy 500, Daytona 500, NBA Championship, Masters, etc....
I've also traveled to 22 countries and lived in 3 of them. Hit on the dot.com biz in the 90's and got out before it crashed.
Have a loving wife and kids and a pretty damn sucessful career. And the side company I own is beginning to thrive with the advent of the oil & gas movement in Ohio. Have more, but I'm sure that hits the point.
But you're right. I'm sure you've done way more than I'll ever dream of.
Now make sure to place the cans upright after emptying them please...and don't put them on the tree lawn.
-
yeah, you're right.
wow, you've done a lot. wish i had the loot to go see all though big name sporting events.
pretty even on the countries. i only lived in one though, under different circumstances, which leads me to this question: did you ever serve your country?
(don't worry i already know the answer to that......pussy).

I listened to the Haslam press conferences the other day and I definitely got a good vibe from him. you can tell he genuinely wants the team to win and how involved he'll be, seems like a good guy too.
Good things for the Browns are coming for sure. Lerner wasn't a bad guy but he just didn't care all that much about this team, and never really wanted to be in the position of being owner.

I agree- putting that AL on the jersey permanently was undeserved. A one year tribute, like the Ravens are doing with Schmodell would have been plenty adequate.
