Interesting story on ESPN.com about the epic dysfunction within the Cleveland Browns franchise during the past few years under Jimmy Haslam's ownership, highlighted by this story:

Quote:

The Browns now were breaking the rules and losing, leading to even more public mocking. The outside anger was felt inside the building. Marketing executives wanted employees to see how fans were engaging with the Browns on social media, so they projected the Browns feed onto a giant wall at the facility. It was like broadcasting talk radio over the entire building, and one day in particular, it was worse than that. One of the marketing staffers entered a search for #dp -- for Dawg Pound. The problem was, that hashtag carried a few different meanings, one of which triggered an array of porn to be broadcast onto a wall for the entire office to see for more than 20 minutes, until a tech employee killed the feed.

Wickesham is a hack but this is hilarious!

That entire story is cringe worthy. Imagine if our owner was some truck stop redneck with a family history of ripping off independent truckers on their fuel bills, and micro managed everything? He'd be like the worst parts of Jerry Jones, Scott Pioli and Art Modell all rolled into one.

I wonder if he made Ray Farmer bring his playbook with him to his final meeting? Gotta think Dorsey is renting, not buying, in Cleveland. It's truly a factory of sadness.

Oh, and when my wife was teaching, she had one kid key her car all the way around (kid was on security video, school did NOTHING to him) and another kid stole her $400 smart phone out of her purse and flushed it in the boy's john. School did nothing to him either. So she got her 30 years in and quit. And she's much happier.

It's just going to take balls by a school district to back their teachers when stupid shit like this gets pulled by out of control students. You can't let the inmates rule the asylum, as it were.

It's the 21st Century America. The inmates run the Asylum now.
