Im guessing Haslem. The NFL is investigating.. Christ what a mockery. According to Mary Kay Crabbot maybe.....but as usual, this will prove to be yet another sliver of truth mixed with a LOT of Mary kay fiction and speculation.....and it positively does not involve haslem.... MK says staff members were texting play suggestions to shanny from the press box.....thats her story and the one that started all this.... BUT....she got it wrong....again....because she reports before she investigates....here's what you're gonna find out... Some Browns employees(and not coaches or anyone important) were texting EACH OTHER mocking Shanny's play calls......and shanny caught wind of it and bitched....and some players heard about it and talked in the locker room......and Mary Kay heard them and picked up a few bits and then filled in the blanks (incorrectly).... so....it wont be an issue with the league....and we wont lose a draft pick....and Mary Kay will keep getting people all upset over non stories......

TexasAg1969 Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 How is she still employed Made up sensational stories sell newspapers. I expect a story about how Mary Kay had a secret rendezvous with JM at a casino in Atlantic City. He gave her a copy the secret playbook of the new OC to be picked later.

Clevfan4life Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 can someone explain why it would cost us a draft pick in any case? why the fuck would it matter if some jackass in the front office was texting shanny play suggestions? That's dysfunctional as hell but gives nobody any unfair advantages...if anything it's fucking with your own OC and potentially costing you a game.

My question is, What does it matter where someone is sitting? They are all up above the field, with a better view of the game. If the owner is in the coaches box, can he call plays then? And what if the OC is in the owners box, can he not call plays? What's to stop an owner, from saying he's a coach too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudfly Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 It not about calling in plays...it's about using cell phones on the sidelines..... its 2 problems....

Westside Steve Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Here's how she keeps her job. She listens to rumors and reports them. The rumors are never that extraordinary but as soon as we read them we start to extrapolate all sorts of possible meanings. Then the broadcasters who need to fill up at least 12 hours of airtime listen to those rumors and start making up their own stories. Then we hyperventilate for days over the stuff that we've made up our selves. And scramble to grab the nearest newspaper or get on cleveland.com to find out what she says next. She's not on the practice field, neither is Tony Grossi. Neither is Terry Pluto but he's a hell of a writer. Now who told you guys we could lose a first round draft pick? Where did you hear that exactly? WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 A. I read that it's just a fine. I think the number was 25 grand or something. B. Mary Kay Cabot sucks. She's like a Hollywood gossip columnist who doesn't care about being honest. Think Tom Melody of the Beacon Journal in the old days. He finally ended up up not covering sports, I think.

Tour2ma Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 MKC's game is innuendo and half-truths with enough verifiable facts and names stirred in to confuse the issue. It's plausible that a staffer or staffers were texting Shanny during the game, but if he did not have his phone with him, as he should not have, then it becomes an personal irritant rather than a league violation. What's to stop an owner, from saying he's a coach too? The League would be my guess. I know MLB has such rules and would be surprised if the NFL did not as well.

MasterDog Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 I find it hilarious that this is a NFL rule. :lol: :lol: "No electronic devices can be used during a game" I see headsets, phones, iPads, printers cameras all over the sidelines.

Mudfly Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 And here it is....looks like Tony Grossi decided to wait for the facts, instead of reporting rumors.....I knew this would come out eventually. Glad it happened today..... As per Tony Grossi: ....there were non-football personnel texting disparaging remarks about coaching decisions, play-calls and use of players to each other during games. It was like two fans holding texting conversations during games. The problem was the “fans” were team employees who exercised bad judgment. When coaches became aware of what was going on, they were understandably put off and brought it to the attention of GM Ray Farmer. From what I know, it was not a case of texting play suggestions to coaches..... http://www.waitingfornextyear.com/2015/01/cleveland-browns-texting-update-nfl-news/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
