The way I see it this is a foursome between two old buddies and the old and new coaches. First Banner showed Schurmur the back door. Then Lurie let Pat in the front door. Joe is laughing because Jeff doesn’t know what he’s getting. And it’s even funnier because he is sticking it to Chip. After Chip stuck it to Banner. I think they all need to get tested.

Don’t think for a minute that the timing of a slimy kelly has nothing to do with this. Plus, I cant speak to the team environment, but personally Roseman is absolutely a snake.

Why does the NFC East get the two most incompetent, micro-managing, owners in the NFL.

please football gods, bless the Eagles and Browns so that they might actually be playing in the division title games sometime in the near future. It’s a sad turn of events when the only action those teams are getting is a spat between the two old geizers running the organizations.

I’ve never seen a wider range of opinions in fewer comments.

To be clear; Lurie said “IF” the league source that spoke to La Canfora negatively about roseman is in Cleveland “that’s not right.” He never made an accusation (or committed slander). He simply suggested that if it was from Cleveland, where Banner works, he’d be disappointed.

Banner’s response, which was very defensive on the subject, suggests that he’s been carping to someone about Howie.

Banner is the biggest slimeball in sports. First he tries to snake Chip Kelly by flying out to interview him ahead of the Eagles, then when he wasn’t interested in the Browns, he dissed Howie Roseman to save face.
A snake in the grass.

So in summation. The guy who used to have the GM Job thinks the guy that took over is less competent.

Shocking that!

Maybe 44 years told Lurie everything he needed to know about him.

Since Jeff Lurie bought our team, I can honestly say he does not strike me as a spiteful or less than honorable person. He has taken the high road every time, and has shown a history of class.

Joe Banner…has shown that he can be a snake in the grass. Guess who wanted to resign fan favorite and Philadelphia icon Brian Dawkins, and who wanted to show him that he wasnt worth what he thought by testing free agency?

No offense, but if Banner’s spreading lies through the media, I wouldn’t say Lurie initiated the media involvement. I trust Lurie’s opinion on the issue more than an NFL blogger’s that has been so far off the mark concerning the franchise. Most recently their coaching search.

Laurie should work in the Jets organization, he loves the spotlight. To bad he doesn’t have a clue about the game of football.
