You have to go through the full thing to fully appreciate it, but my favorite part comes at 1:33. On any given day, it could apply to the Browns, the Indians or the Cavaliers. Or the Beacon Journal or any workplace, for that matter.

Does Office Depot or Staples have cones of silence?

WHATT?

It's a beautiful thing. Mangini must be discussing the QB situation in there.

By the way, nothing to do with that goof Mangini's top-secret Cone of Silence, but I saw the "Get Smart" movie this weekend. I had low expectations, I was pleasantly surprised. Same tone, feel and comic sensibility of the TV show. Thumbs up, if anybody cares. Far more fun to watch than the Browns.

Early this year I recommended the Cone of Silence to my wife for use at her place of employment.

Seems that the computer department was being asked to check every device on the campus for nefarious bugging devices. Including routers, phones, computers… everything. Thousands of hours were wasted. All because some executive blabbed some information to the wrong person about how the executives had sold a key resource in their supply chain, and the buyer then jacked the price of that resource up over 50 times the previous price. This increase directly led to the entire facility being shut down and massive layoffs. They could have sold with a stipulation about maintaining price levels, but noooooooo!

Incompetent executives attempting to cover their incompetence.

Anyhow, future meetings should involve use of the Cone of Silence!
