Dave Greeley: “Our challenge in Columbus is simple: We don’t have broad-based community support. Secondly, we don’t have the corporate support we need in Columbus.”
I keep forgetting he was ever associated with this organization, and then one of you jackasses reminds me of it. Thanks a bunch.
It was clear that the business community didn’t like the “We” (Jay Jr, Dave, Andy). Sorry, moving on…..
I'd make a comment about "if only Tony Cheapskate had paid for their dinner" but I seem to remember another comment about that whole thing being blown out of proportion.
Well, when you combine the fact that none of them are at all likeable - a west coast frat boy who was never here, a sleazy grifter who everyone he'd ever worked with said was slimy and a two bit punk with no credibility whatsoever - with the fact that their goal from day one was to alienate everyone in Columbus, it didnt exactly amount to a charm offensive.
Ted Stepien is reincarnated in Cleveland. (Those under 30 please look up how he as owner ruined the Cavaliers for years and almost drove them out of town.) Feels like Uncle Truckstop wants to go all-all-in on Arch Manning.
So we can look forward to adding the currently mediocre Arch Manning to the long list of failed Cleveland QB’s?
Really? I don't follow the NFL anymore, but that surprises me. They seem like a well run org? Maybe not?
I would have assumed the Raiders a few years ago, but maybe they improved after they moved to Las Vegas?
From what I read, they like the training staff and the like but ranked the facilities extremely low. Saying Rooney needs to invest a lot of money on facilities and the other teams that play there damage the field to a nearly unplayable state.
Probably paywalled, but Columbus Business First published an article last week on Mary Shepro, the Crew's new president of business operations; aka, the new Kristin Bernert, taking over from Josh Glessing. Shepro isn't new to the Crew; she's been the organization's general council since 2022. https://www.bizjournals.com/columbu...=40&cx_testVariant=cx_10&cx_artPos=5#cxrecs_s Honestly, there's not much of interest n the article. Her background isn't terribly accomplished in this sort of position. As she's quoted as saying earlier in the article: Okay. That said, she doesn't have to do what Bernert did. It's more about maintaining and expanding relationships.
Steelers just announced switching to a new type of grass field to try to address that issue. They were replacing it twice or even 3 times per year. Pitt needs their own 25-30k seat stadium. They should actually work a deal with Riverhounds for a joint stadium. Riverhounds are expanding theirs but not that big.
