    But then the question comes again, why hold a press conference to essentially say nothing?

    Because they are required to by the league.

  • Ya, I know the drill; "they've got a job to do." Selling newspapers or getting you to tune in at 6 is really their job. It's not about the truth, it's about selling you a story, true or not.

    I don't blame Kokingina. Fans pay for a product "On the field!" this is the off-season, there's no requirement for them to tip their hand, like it or not.

    Pat's fans don't mind BB's vanilla, say nothing pressers. Just 'cause we've been losing, doesn't mean the team has to expose their strategy to us.

  • I would have been more upset if Kokinis came out and said "yeah, we're looking at drafting Crabtree" or whoever. Why would he do that? If you read the article that Grossi posted this afternoon about the press conference, he seems so irritated that Kokinis gave him nothing. Come on, what did he expect?? When it comes to this time of year, you let NOBODY know what you're thinking and what you're doing. I have no problem trying to figure out what's real and what's a smoke screen till draft day because that means the other 31 teams are doing the same thing. Kokinis is doing a fine job, and Tony Grossi needs to get over himself.

    He told us absolutely nothing we didn't already know.

    It's madening

    "I've called you all here today to tell you that I'm not going to tell you anything. Thank you, and have a good day."

    Lol that about sums it up..i sense we will be trading/getting ripped off on both bq and be and da will go super dirt dirt cheap...like ive said before i expected a firesale of our less then decent and troubled talent but trading bq and be for 2nd round picks is somewhat suspect and cant benifit the club or this regime and the idea that mangini wanted to bring cutler here is disturbing to me being that he does not match mangini's style and is the type of player mangini claims he doesnt want..

    I want to hate this drab boring regime already but theres not enough proof to support the obvious yet...but one thing is becoming obvious for sure 3-5 more losing seasons and the fans getting serious about calling for randy to sell the team..

    We have been rebuilding since 1964, Why stop now? GO BROWNS!

  • You know, a pretty useless press conference and all, but if there ever was a time to be tight lipped, it would be now, 9 days before the draft.

    Although I'll admit it doesn't seem like these guys are going to open up ... ever.

    You really gotta get off this trading BQ and BE for 2nd round picks. There is NOTHING to back up what you're saying. Please, do us all a favor and go root for someone else.

    Guys ... They aren't going to to tell us, or the press, anything for the next (how long is Mangini's contract?) four or five years.

    I hope you like your ice cream vanilla, because your Browns news is going to be.

    You didn't know they were trading Winslow, and you're not going to know if they are trading Edwards or Quinn.

    Just sit back, sip your beer, or smoke your bong, whatever works for you ... and wait for that 1PM kickoff versus the Vikes ... then we can actually watch the real deal and see what this team is made of.

    Until then we might as well just post post pictures of women with big titties.

    He also did not show his hand to our rivals/the rest of the league. I wish I had the inside info too but this stance is more likely to help us than hurt us in regards to the draft and any possible trades.

    There's nothing that says they can't "change their mind".

  • It's about WINS AND LOSSES..............................screw the press conferences. We can speculate here as well as the media.

    If they told you everything (or something), what rumors would we have to talk about on here.

  • George DodgeBall Kokinis, this guy is great, i agree on not giving any info to the media, they will try and make the story bigger than it is. The dude seems to be a little more close to the coach than RAC and PS were. also his shit eating grin when asked about crabtree tells me that he will be on our team this year.

  • I hated the hiring of Mangini from day 1 not the man but just the half assed process, but for the first time in ten years I'm

    love'n the fact that we've got hand,nobodies got a friggin clue what this guy is thinking

    do we want Crabtree ?

    are we making everybody think we're trading BE but we really want Curry to drop to us?

    or are we really after Sanchez ?or one of the OT's

    Is this guy really this shrewd or is this just dumb luck? Don't know Don't care

    I know we have hand and I'm love'n it,and we'd be foolish to show it until we're on the clock.

    And we're gonna need it...

  • Nice to have cards up our sleeves without the media or opposition knowing what they are, ain't it?

    I LOVE the way this Team is going about things. Neither I nor anyone else needs to know what happens until it does.

    To quote a devoted Brown's fan, Canton Mike..."We'll see!" 🙂

  • Billicheck totally never says anything either, but at least he's a douche or says something mildy aggressive and entertaining.

    Kok bored the living hell out of me.
