Right or not, it's unprofessional, and he was canned as a result. Thus, he has no sources within the browns, which makes his BS opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally no one associated with the Browns back then is with the organization any more. Not the owner/coaches/front office/players etc. Maybe the janitor still works there. I have NO problem with how he covers the Browns. If you do....then that is your problem....not his or mine or anyone else's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not worth a back and forth, cause I was just stating fact. I live in Pittsburgh, don't have to consume groosi if I don't want to, cause he's not on my local radar. I'm laughing at the trainwreck is all ... No feathers to even be ruffled on my end. Browns have been irrelevant so long, ESPN can pay 'intentionally vague' to cover a team no one cared about, but that'll change if baker continues to flourish. And in the midst, groosi so savy that he drew the ire of his teams FQB....same as he did the then DC 3G.... "Are you Tony?" Sorry he's you're go-to guy, but he's a legacy of print media, and needs to hang it up....cause frankly, browns fans deserve better than that asshat writing shit for public consumption thats as credible as samuel rowbotham. So I'll continue to point out his incompetence...he sucks, and at this new juncture of the browns excitement, I'd rather read people that don't suck. Mary Kay is just as bad, but for a different reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just one guy I hear on the radio. but it just seems that you have some personal vendetta against him that borders on the obsessive. This rant is evidence of that.

Along with Jim Donovan and Doug Dieken. Doug has forgotten more about football than Tony ever knew in his life. Grossi talks a good game without saying much, and he's wrong a lot on personal opinions and predictions. Scheffter probably has better Browns contacts than Tony. I agree about May Kay Rabbit. It's all anyone on the Browns can do to stop themselves from laughing at her when she starts asking questions. There's a few quality guys left- but the days of Hal Lebovitz are long over at the PD.

And at least they actually talk to the players. But Grossi said he’d retire and his buddy said he’d eat poop if the Browns draft Mayfield. Both are liars. The national guys don’t even talk to the locker room. They just make it up as they go along. Hence you get a coward reporting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lodilobo Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 This is probably unpopular here, but I've always kind of liked Grossi. He has always asked tough questions without sugar coating anything, when it come to sensitive subjects. That's waht I want in a media person. He's fairly intelligent, and is also a fan, but gives his opinion when asked. He's the reason Modell is not in the Hall of Fame. He may not be as knowledgeable as some of the local media people....but I can't really think of any more knowledgeable at the moment. Except those who actually played professionally. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I find Grossi well informed and entertaining...but that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh...opinions SHOULD be based in facts and evidence....otherwise, it's just misinformed and lazy, like groosi. It's presenting what you want or prefer as an opinion. For instance, the lunatic that thinks baker sux. He's entitled to that opinion, but it's not based on anything other than hatred, and is summarily dismissed by the few of us can posses critical thinking skills.

LOL, that's what commentators do, they commentate. I don't doubt the guys who have "premium" content behind the paywall at 247 Sports have better inside info than what Grossi does. Har, he may even have a subscription, and uses their sources second hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leebladedawg Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 They actually replayed what Grossi said that Baker replied to etc on WKNR and Grossi actually never compared Baker to Murray so Baker got it wrong on this one, which also was last week so Baker actually went out of his way to take a shot all Grossi said was Murray was more like Johnny in terms of size and build and he actually went on to admit he got it wrong on Baker and this was last week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calfoxwc Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 toni grossi - talks out of his rear all too often. and his over the edge negative questions make Mary Kay's dumb questions seem nice. grossi reminds me of another sports reporter so negative he was removed from covering the Browns - Akron smartass Tom Melody - many years ago. though grossi is still #2 annoying ever. I listen to Jim Donovan on that show, I always MUTE grossi, and I turn the volume up a notch when Dieken starts talking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
