I don’t really care if you guys are Rep, Dem, Whig, or Tory. And, I don’t know enough to say whom is to blame for the war, the economy, who is dating Jennifer Anniston, or those “damn kids” and their clothes/music. There are web sites specific to those subjects!
This is supposed to be a web site where we can get a football fix, speculate on rumors and bash Florio’s hair. Pls, let’s keep it that way…or I’ll be forced to read Yahoo Sports.

This “new” Browns organization has been pretty sh*tty since day 1.
After getting run out of San Francisco, despite claiming the credit for their Super Bowl run, old man Lerner decided “Carmen Policy” would be his man to set up, draft and build his new multi-billion dollar toy. Yah, that worked out well.
Since then, it’s been a succession of one fumble nuts over the next. Management, coaching, scouts, etc. All have added their poison for the sake of their overblown egos. Is it any wonder that 10 yrs later, it is the laughing stock of the NFL? (Aren’t we the only team now that has never even played in the Super Bowl???)
The “Browns” have mishandled everything they have touched. I don’t know too much about Kokinas but he deserved to be paid after that fiasco.
The Walrus really has his work cut out for himself. He has to completely revamp the entire organization…stuff Policy should have done in ’99. I don’t envy him one bit, and wish him all the luck in the world.
Normally, it takes 3-5 yrs to rebuild a team. Seeing what all is involved with the Browns, it may take 10!!!
Good luck, Mike

Florio’s daily Browns bashing. Florio has ran this story about 3 times now with no new information. I think the Browns must have done something really bad to Florio.

How are Cleveland fans eternally optimistic?
Since 1989:
Romeo Crennel 24-40 (0.375)
Terry Robiskie 1-4 (0.200)
Butch Davis 24-35 (0.407)
Chris Palmer 5-27 (0.156)
Bill Belichick 36-44 (0.450)
Jim Shofner 1-6 (0.143)
Bud Carson NFL 11-13-1 (0.458)
No longer they long for the days of Bill Belichick who only had a .45 win percentage.

I’m glad to see that George can now go back to the Ravens, and NOT do his job there…again.
Baltimorons…gotta love ‘em…

Did Mangini tell Mike Holmgren that he has the final say as GM?
Because if he did, there’s a good chance he was lying, just like he did with Kokinis.

Of course they were going to pay him. You cant get away with firing someone “with cause” unless they do something significantly wrong (showing your weiner) and you have proof. Kokinis was dumped over Mangini politics and the Brownies tried to get away without paying him. Just another sign of a shitty organization.

“One source believes that Kokinis got all of the money he was due to receive. Another source believes it was less than 100 cents on the dollar.”
This just in … today it may rain, or it may not. Nice reporting PFT!

Now that’s what I call a poopcan payoff! Kokinis must be feeling awfully pouncey today.

As a Browns fan I will just ignore all the re-re moves we’ve made in the past because the BIG SHOW is in town running things now. You can do it Holmgren!
GO BROWNS!

So what you are saying is that you have conflicting reports?

Wow. That is some serious investigative reporting you’ve got going on.

How long before Holmgren gets fired “for cause”? He was a very good head football coach, but will make a terrible GM/Vice Pres/Whatever the heck his role is suppose to be.

That’s my Browns!! Add Kokinis to the LONG list of execs & coaches who NO LONGER work for the Browns but are still getting paid by the Browns. Knew Kokinis would get paid, as he should’ve. However what kind of PUSSY lets himself get seamrolled, by anybody, like that? It’s a good thing the Browns have the 4th wealthiest owner in the league!
