Re: Should the league intervene with the Browns?
Kitchens is too far down the chain of command of ineptitude. Ineptitude starts with the owner and is transmitted to every lower echelon.

I took some of the acid Harbaugh had on Sunday and figured I would share.

Re: Should the league intervene with the Browns?
It's so Schadenfreudelicious. The Cleveland establishment knew that Art Modell's pockets weren't deep, that the Browns were essentially all he could pass down to his descendants. But instead of helping stabilize his finances so he could build a team to win the Super Bowl all of them dearly wanted, The Powers That Be (or Were) did their best to squeeze him. To force him to sell the team to some bazillionaire who'd be able to sink big bucks into building a champion. They had no clue he had Plan B in his pocket - the move to Baltimore that won him that Lombardi four years later.
So Cleveland got an expansion team in record time (oh how howwible, 3 years without NFL football!). Got back its name, its colors, & its history (& per Baltimore fans, were welcome to them). Got themselves a series of flush owners, front offices, coaches, players, all of whom were supposed to buy a championship for the Mistake By The Lake...
...and in the past 18 years, they have played in (and lost) exactly one playoff game. While the team formerly known as the Browns has played in 24 playoff games, winning 15, including two Super Bowls.
I really believe that it's The Curse Of Art. Modell was instrumental in negotiating the national TV contract that led to the huge popularity of a game that now "owns a day of the week," & for that alone deserves a place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He has been continually snubbed, the opposition led by bitter sportswriters from Cleveland who fled their home town in search of jobs. I firmly believe that so long as those vengeful hacks persist in excluding Art Modell from the HoF, the success that Cleveland was so sure would come quickly as soon as they'd driven him out of town will continue to elude them.
