Did The Browns' Front Office Break Up Over Greg Schiano?

I knew Belichick carried long grudges, but he's still mad at Cleveland for beating the Patriots out of a playoff spot in '02? Wow.

Meanwhile, humiliated Dolphins fans are arriving at the realization that new Browns GM Ray Farmer chose the Browns over Miami in their recent GM search. When a person chooses the Cleveland Browns GM job over your own, you need some real introspection. It's like Lebron taking his talents to South Beach, except exactly…

Thanks...our motto is character, loyalty, and stupidity.

I'm pretty sure Cabot has it wrong, and they're actually saving the job for Eli.

In all seriousness, Mary Carillo is awesome and needs more to do. Not sure why she isn't on Opening Ceremony coverage, pretty sure was for Athens.

Oh Mary, we all understand how you stay employed. You're one of the most genuinely awesome people in sports television, sort of an anti-Collinsworth, and you know your stuff like few others. I raise a glass to you.

In lieu of severance, Lombardi has been offered "salary rebates."

This was taken at the Belmont at 2011. Costas was on the platform to give his 45 seconds on the mic before the race, and everyone at the starting gate was pretty drunk and yelling at him. Costas came over to greet the crowd, and a dude chucked this full Coors Light to him.

Hmm, maybe they could make it out of wood or concrete next time and put some wheels on the bottoms of their snowboards or something.

There's a reason all of these GMs spoke anonymously.

So Sam isn't bringing baggage, everyone else is. Got it.

Shit, questions being asked at media availabilities? How will players cope?

Seriously. Basically "distractions" means "the media might ask dumb and/or uncomfortable questions", which is like, all the time.

The Vikings fired Chris Kluwe again just to be on the safe side, though.

That probably helps his case in fighting against the "distraction" narrative. There's proof that his teammates respect him enough not to leak his secret, and Mizzou did very well despite having a "distraction" in the locker room.

The real heroes here are his teammates. Dude came out to the entire squad in August, and it's just making the news now? That's some serious fraternity there.

In order to get to a place in our society where it truly, truly doesn't matter, we have to go through an awkward phase where unfortunately it does matter a whole lot. What I'm saying is whenever you see some dipshit comment on Mr. Sam's story with a "WHO CARES?," tell them to shut the fuck up.
