Yet another sign that Haslam is a meddler. Poor Browns.

He certainly does, doesn't mean it is good for business, though.

Sure, but that's a horse #### reason and you know it. Maybe he should let the people he hired to run the team do their jobs and he can stick to just signing the paychecks.

No, it's not. If you owned an NFL team, you'd do the same thing. It's almost impossible to be completely hands-off, and I wouldn't expect it.

Did you see Zygi and Mark Wilf in the war room when the Vikings were drafting? You think they had any say in the drafting of Teddy Bridgewater? You bet they did.

Or signing Brett Favre?...or a few other moves it's been rumored they were involved in.

Ideally you'd want them to sit down, shut up, and sign the checks. But it doesn't happen like that. Should it? Who knows. Doubt that coach or GM lasts as long in Cleveland as Haslam.
