    It doesn't matter who owns us, But I would (prefer) someone from the area, who's a lifelong fan. Someone who hates seeing the Browns losing as much as we do, and someone who wants to restore greatness, and won't interfere like Jerry Jones.

    If you look at it from an outside perspective, Haslam is a spoonfed billionaire who's shady, and hasn't done anything to us Cleveland fans to prove that he's a standup guy.

    As of now, He's made us much worse since buying the team, almost abysmal. Haslam was a Steelers fan, so obviously he won't care about Browns fans as much as a lifelong Browns fan would. It's likely Haslam just sees us as cash, and thinks we'll remain faithful and spend money no matter what. (and i'm sure some of us would)

    It shouldn't be taboo to question why Haslam spent an astronomically small amount of money on the salary cap for the past 3 years.

    Give me an owner, no matter who they are who wants to 1) win 2) cares about us (the fans)

    How many billionaires do you think live around here?  The Lerners are the only ones.  Also...I don't think that JH was a Steeler fan.  He is just an opportunist. He bought into the Steelers when a few of the Rooney brothers had to divest due to their interests in casinos and race tracks. Then he got a taste and wanted a full ownership position.  It was actually the Commissioner's office that steered him toward the Browns because they knew that Randy wanted out.  Jimmy was a Tennessee Volunteer fan first and foremost.....and maybe a Titans fan, if he was the fan of any NFL team.

    As they noted on Red Zone, the Haslams have dumped millions into UT. They have buildings named after them.

    I think six, but I would be talking about a billionaire born in ohio. Someone from here who doesn’t live in Cleveland anymore, not sure how many of those there are, but perhaps a couple.

    As I said earlier in the thread- you're right- six. Three of the Lerners split Al's fortune, Denise York (owns the 49ers) Wesner (owns Victoria's Secret) and Dayon guy Clay Mathilde (sold his interest in Iam's to P&G). Dan Gilbert would be a potential NFL owner if he was willing to sell off his Casino interests. LOL, though as a Michigan guy, he'd probably be more interested in owning the Lions- but the Ford family owns them, and they're not selling out anytime soon- and they have way more loot than Dan.

    OK, I see that there IS much more ignorance that you can display.

     Its not that those things you mention may not be happening....  But what the fuyucking hell does that have to do with the religion of an NFL owner? Did Shahid Khan commit those acts?

    Should we not allow Christian ownership because of the atrocities that the Nazis did under the name of Christianity.  

    And you are a goddamned liar if you say religion has nothing to do with it. "Muslims harbor hate for Christianity"  That is your statement.  What the F is that is anything but a commentary on religion.

    And I am not a Magistrate for the US Court system.  Here is another area that you are ignorant on.  The US Court system and the State of Ohio court system are completely different systems.

    And you better damned well hope that any court official in any court system does not display the kind of racism and ignorance that you are displaying.  They would not be worthy of their position if they did. 

    And if being called ignorant doesn't bother you...it is only because you have no character or conscience. 

    Wow all this.. Maybe you oughta do your own inventory Mr Judge... Apparently your reading skills failed you too.. I said I wasn't about religion Per Se''.. I did'nt excuse the issue..I'm well aware of Mr Khans ownership.. I didn't single him out .. You can bury your head all you want.. You're no where near as bright as you try to portend to be,,, Have fun with yourself...

  • Back to the original post, and some of this Sheet should be moved to the political board, IMHO.

    Don't believe a word that shmuck Tony Grossi says or writes.He knows as much as you or I, just owns a press pass. He's about as reliable as Jason LaCanfora.

    You don't think the NFL is concerned after finding out that one of their owners is on tape talking about committing fraud on a massive scale?

    The Haslam family would take over, obviously.  Not Buffet, nor anyone else.  I am pretty sure.  It was possibly why they made the move to make Dee co-owner and to involve other family members...especially now if they are not going to have much to do with Pilot.

    And Dan Gilbert would NOT be considered. Not with his casino gambling interests.  The NFL still has a strict rule on that, notwithstanding that they are going to have a team move to Vegas.

    Obviously Lerner wouldn't be a candidate.  Hell...he lost a pile of money on his English soccer team.

    Nero had commented that a lot of weathy Arabs and Chinese were buying up  Euro futbol teams (a Chinese guy bought Aston Villa from RAndy).    Not sure what the NFL rules are on foreign ownership.    I think it is likely prohibited.

    Just what we need.. Muslim ownership of American sports teams.. Lets just give them the keys to the kingdom , to hold our citizens hostage in a stadium with bomb threats... Sorry to digress.. Was just a random thought...

    Until you demonstrate some actual Christian values, your words don't reflect anything religious.  Time to re-read the entirety of Eisenhower's farewell address.

    Using a word as a cudgel to assert your "team's" superiority.... is the antithesis of both Christian and American.

    "Throughout America's adventure in free government, our basic purposes have been to keep the peace, to foster progress in human achievement, and to enhance liberty, dignity, and integrity among peoples and among nations. To strive for less would be unworthy of a free and religious people. Any failure traceable to arrogance, or our lack of comprehension, or readiness to sacrifice would inflict upon us grievous hurt, both at home and abroad."

    gotcha. 

    people have to understand that this internet BS is just that. don't know you. didn't know ur friend (RIP). one thing that might bring people together is love for sports.........i guess.

    do your thing in tribute to friend.

    been there. done that. 10x over.

  • It is all rigged and they are going after Jimmy and said if he don't lose every game they are going o ruin him and send him to jail. 🙂 That is why he hires the worse people for the job and they bring in the worse players the can find. Think about it......Makes sense, We suck, no plans for a new coach etc........:) 

  • Jimmah would end up the same place Martha Stewart went.  The big winner would be Dee Haslam. She becomes the team owner. I'm sure she would be more concerned about BBC than the team winning tho.

    You made negative religious comments that had nothing to do with the subject at hand.

    You proved you were ignorant and hateful

    You were proud of it. 

    What else are the rest of us to think of you.

    If they divorce....who gets the team?

    Didn't something like this happen once?

    I would not want to speculate on what may happen in divorce court. I would be curious though to see if they are still brother and sister after the divorce is final.?

  • Why the problem with Jimmy? He sells a non-existent product to people who continue to pay for it just like he does in his regular business. Someday someone like that could become president. Oh wait..................................................😛

    I think Jimmy and Stosh are secret gay lovers until Dee and Jimmah divorce. That will make it possible for Jimmah and Stosh to become legal butt buddies ?
