For those interested, my Sunday "Beside the Point" in the Beacon-Journal dealt with the fact that the NBA is such an easier league to cover than the NFL. LeBron James misses the media once and you'd think the sky was falling. Generally, the NBA and MLBÂ are very mature and professional in their dealings with the media — and by extension the public. Marla Ridenour wrote a column on a similar topic dealing specifically with the Browns.

Alan…no comment…where are you?
For most avid Browns fans, the whining about Mangini's relationship with the press is always a refreshing elixer. I hope Marla or someone does another article next Sunday.
Poor Marla. Thanks to the Internet, she now rips off everybody from out of town instead of doing her own actual reporting. Let's be candid here, she should be embarrassed instead of pissed.
The Marla Ridenour of the Columbus Dispatch and the Marla Ridenour of the Akron Beacon Journal might as well be two different people. Please tell me how her egregious laziness during Donte Stallworth's latest shenanigans was in any way, shape or form the fault of Eric Mangini.
If Mangini's bunker mentality forces local reporters to actually work again, and it forces the reporters to use those long-dormant skills for which they were originally trained, I have absolutely no problem with it. She may lose, but the readers will win. Perhaps Porky will make Marla remember why she got into the newspaper business in the first place.
the issue with mangini's relationship with the press is that…….it's also the organization's relationship WITH IT'S FANS!
browns fans are merely brainwashed vessels filled with cash that wander into a stadium 8 times a year to pay tribute to the second worst franchise in football. they don't know why they do it. the fans are so filled with self-loathing they probably stop and donate to the church with the priest that molested them on the way home from the game.
terje, I indeed am self-loathing, but does it count if only a rabbi molested me?
