The 3 Stooges Comment by the reporter was totally justified
I dunno about that.
I do agree that they deserved the comment, I would have rather had that guy read good solid questions that didn't come off that way. It's a professional environment, leave the comedy stuff on social media where it belongs...
Did anyone bring up Jimmy's comment about his time with the Steelers and being a witness to stability and consistency?
I just felt like it was a shot because people generally don't like the guy, whether that be him as the subject of a very serious white collar crime, or being an out of towner, or just plain hate because he's rich?
I just put myself in his shoes, I would have asked better questions.
I'm not siding with the front office, because I have been very critical of this firing. I'm behind them, because I'm a Browns fan and have no other choice, but I'm not happy about all this.

The three stooges comment was about as unprofessional a comment/question a reporter could have made in such a public and professional setting.
I mean not even the dull, stupid and annoying Mary Cay with all her stupid comments/questions wouldn't have dabbled her stupidity to that level. I was a bit shocked and judging by Jimmy's facial expressions, he was too... haha

Ya know, I think that is the thing that bothered me most about that press conference.
Haslem points to his time with the Steelers as being a witness to that. So what, you had a few million to play with and bought into a stable and successful franchise as a MINORITY OWNER. No true say in operations, personnel, etc.
Then you have Banner talking about his time in Philly like he was the true architect behind their success there. Really?!?
Neither of those organizations were successful because of them. Hell, they might have been successful in spite of them.....

Mike Polk, who should be thanking the Browns because they represent at least 80% of his material, would ask better questions.
Actually, he'd be pretty good. He's a season ticket holder as well. I actually thought his last viral video was really good and actually came off more serious than funny. He was generally upset. I believe he made it after the first Steeler game.
Our media is the absolute worst, although aside from that jackass, they did hit them harder than usual.
That's the bummer for this regime, firing the coach after a year opened the floodgates. It's as if the media respected them and took it easy, because they thought they were going to stick with the plan, and now that they haven't, they'll be treated like the Holmgrens and Policy's of the world.

I didn't mean that as if Jimmy played a role in it, but if you read my post, the key word there is "witness". He saw how things were done. You would have thought if the possibility of firing a coach after a year came up, Jimmy would have said absolutely not.
Banner had very little to do with Philly's little run in the 2000's of being really really good. They had a good coach/qb.

I gettcha now. However, he must not have been a very good witness. He saw how things were done to be successful, but chose to do the exact opposite? Maybe it's for the best long-term. But, I will be very skeptical of everything they do until I see the results translate into a winning franchise...

We'll, whatever HC we get, if we axe this one in year 1 or 2, than it's clear haslam didn't learn squat watching the steelers.

There is absolutely zero chance we fire the next HC after only 1 season, unless there are activities detrimental to the team (and no, I don't mean W/L record). That would be totally unacceptable to the fan base and moreso, to Haslam. LomBanner would be gone...

You are right Diam. You called it then, and I called this group when they came in. I pointed out many of the same things you are pointing out about them now.
As a Browns fan, I did try my best to give them the benefit of the doubt after they got here, but I made my feelings known at first. I mean despite how inept I feel a FO is, I want them to succeed because I am a Browns fan.
My honest feelings are that Banner was a pencil pusher, Lombardi's record wreaks of sucktitude and as a minority owner in Pitt. Haslam had no say in anything.
The one thing he claimed he learned there was continuity which he just shown he has no patience for.
The fact is, they gave Chud no QB or running game to work with, then used him as the fall guy. I mean when the guy had an average at best QB in Hoyer, with still no running game, he won.
If posters on this board can't see that Chud could be a winner with average QB play at best, I don't know what to tell them.
When a HC has no running game and no QB, people can say he was fired because the team didn't show improvement. But when the fact is, you can only do so much with what you're given to work with, I think Chud was the last person who needed to be fired.
This was the best coaching staff we had since our return. They were never given the talent to win. Yet somehow they still managed to compete. This was a farce and a joke. No more of a farce and a joke than the Three Stooges comment.
There's a difference between Bold and stupid.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

But don't ever forget one of the key pieces here. Lombardi was brought on AFTER Chud.
NOT TRUE ..... his hiring was ANNOUNCED after we brought Chud on ... every one and there mother knows he was hired WELL BEFORE THAT and was right there involved every step of the way with the Chud hiring ...
big difference between hiring/start date and when its made official and announced ....
and BTW .... Lombards is no more of a puppet than whoever the coaches are ... Banner runs this show ... its clearly evident now .... hes been orchestrating this crap since day 1 .....
THE LYING AND BS STARTED WITH THIS GROUP FROM DAY 1 .... ITS WHO AND WHA THEY ARE ....

I would think that the difference between bold and foolish is rather narrow as well.
Standing up to a bully is bold. Standing up to an army, armed with a slingshot, is foolish. It's all degrees on the same scale.
Any bold act can become foolish if you slide the scale a few notches in the wrong direction.
Micah 6:8; He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.
John 14:19 Jesus said: Because I live, you also will live.

One more thing ..... Quote:
Not sure where you are going with those mutiny reports, but they never made the light of day...they weren't common knowledge.
Vers and Peen said they saw them .... and I think there both out of there minds on this one (not the first time I've thought that about either of them ... *L*) ... but if they say they saw it ... I believe them without a doubt .....
where was I going with it???? ... that Lombards or Banner or one of there lackey's planted the mutiny crap .... that these sleeze bags started the rumors .. that's just something that's a possibility with this group ....

Nice selective quoting Mr. Ego. Try reading his whole post before you smart off.
You have an ego problem dude. No wonder people ignore you.
