Report: Lerner to retain 30 percent stake in Browns

Posted by Darin Gantt on July 29, 2012, 2:00 PM EDT

Randy Lerner, Pat Shurmur AP

Browns fans hoping to be rid of owner Randy Lerner are getting their wish, to an extent.

According to a report from WKYC sportscaster and the team play-by-play voice Jim Donovan (via the Cleveland Plain Dealer), Lerner will retain a 30 percent share of the team.

Lerner’s selling controlling interest in the Browns to truck stop magnate (and really, that might be the best business card title ever) Jimmy Haslam.

Donovan also reported Haslam will have the option to increase that share later, but that leaves the unpopular Lerner as a small part of the franchise.

Actually ties to the possible new president maybe what does Heckertt in there was a bit of a issue between them when at the end of his time with the Eagles if I remember right. Not saying it is enough to get him canned though.

for the right price everyone is tradable question is what is the right price! although I don't want Cribbs going anywhere!!!

STRAIGHT UP FOR DA SURE LETS DO IT

won't play him cuase of money or pride one of the two or both

I agree, plus there is not a QB that I want that high, if we take one in the 2nd then ok but not with a 1st pick. If someone is there that A. could end up being who we want or B. could be the back up we need.

question is with Diaboli (or how ever you spell the OC's name) other then horrible, maybe he is not calling the plays to let Quinn go downtown some, I mean he has a NFL arm, not a DA arm but enough to get the box unstacked.

BUT WE STILL SUCKED UP THE PLACE!

I will be headed across the water tomorrow, Uncle Sam called again. Will probably be without Internet for a monthish from what I am told. have fun, remember that even if this team's play sucks still better to be a fan of a loosing Browns team then a fan of the Steelers no matter what the record!

If you hate him so much why did you line his pockets with money? When I don't like someone I tend to NOT give him money! You are a freakin joke, go root for the BUCS since that is such a great city. Nothing worse then a fair weather, I am better then you fan. STFU and leave.

Good I want him on the field that way if we beat them, they can't say well Polly was not on the field, if he was there you would not have won! I want to beat their best not their worst, will take the win without him there but prefer it with him there

No QB in the first round, Berry or RB with the first pick, course if we have the #1 pick then may change that. IF we can't trade down which I hope we can do

We had a Raiders troll on a Steeler forum I belong to.

Can you imagine that - a f*cking Raid-aahs troll?

As long as Kim Jong Il is their owner, they're fated to suffer futility.

Some zen for yinz:

YEA don't you hate it when you get TROLLS on your message board from other teams!

IF we are going to trade him, either RB or RG or CB but not for a scrub

LeBron calls out Braylon

Posted by Mike Florio on October 5, 2009 5:32 PM ET

Earlier today, a man who claims that Browns receiver Braylon Edwards beat him up attributed the trouble to jealously that Edwards has for Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James.

And now James is wading into the dispute.

And, in other words, it's getting goooooood.

"I've never crossed paths with Braylon before, but it seems like there's a little jealousy going on with Braylon and me and my friends," James said Monday, per the Associated Press. "I have no idea why. I've never said anything to Braylon at all. But for him to do that is very childish. My friend is 130 pounds. Seriously. It's like hitting one of my kids. It doesn't make sense."

More importantly for Edwards, his boss responded to the situation on Monday. And coach Eric Mangini, who has been fining guys for parking-space infractions and water-bottle violations, doesn't sound happy.

"I know there is an incident that has been reported with Braylon Edwards, it's something that I am aware of," Mangini said Monday. "It is something that I spoke with Braylon about and personal conduct is very important to me. I always want our players to put themselves in the most positive positions. This is something I will continue to gather information on."

Edwards had zero catches in Sunday's overtime loss to the Browns. Per the AP, it's the first time that Edwards failed to make a reception in his entire career.

UPDATE: The Cleveland Plain Dealer has more from LeBron, who attempts to educate LeBrown on one what it means to be a pro athlete. "I know how to handle myself as a professional athlete and I take care of my friends and my family. It is unfortunate that some guys don't understand that. You are a role model to kids and you should carry yourself that way on and off the field. And I carry that. I'm not going to do anything to jeopardize myself or my family. I'm one of the guys that look at being a professional athlete at more than just being out on the court."

sorry but not a Quinn fag, but there is no way you can say DA did better last week, 3 in vs 1, no brainer who did better. Has quinn played good this year no. but maybe this is a put a fire under him move (hope it is, hope it works, ) i do agree though, that he needs to just play and not worry bout mistakes. but I still wonder how much they are letting him just play, IE how many deep calls are they sending in for him to play.

Either way I just want the Browns to play good football and win. IF DA does that today great. Don't care who QB's the Browns, just want to win, but pulling a QB like we have this year and in past does nothing but give us what we have now.
