From the New York Times
"After Jimmy Haslam bought the Cleveland Browns in the summer, he stood in the middle of a field at his very first practice, wearing a Browns T-shirt and shorts, a promising sign that the franchise — one of the N.F.L.’s most storied, but long lagging while in the hands-off control of the former owner Randy Lerner — would finally have the attention and enthusiasm of the person in charge."
From Go Vols Xtra
"Butch Jones’ work day was expected to run late Tuesday evening. But it didn’t include football.The first-year Tennessee football coach was scheduled to speak to the UT Student Government Association.Since the group was installing new officers, it thought the leader of another group in transition would be an appropriate speaker. So it asked. And Jones accepted."
From the Times Free Press
