| Maybe if you spelled Haslam correctly in your search of threads, you would have found it.

| Just hitting the newswire... Quote: |
One league source tells Clark Judge of CBS Sports that new Browns owner Jimmy Haslam plans to "blow the whole place up," likely ousting team president Mike Holmgren and GM Tom Heckert.

I guess I would just like to know the inner thinking of why this # was best. Was the stadium and land apart of the deal?
Obviously moving it might be a thought too. | The Dodgers a have a multi-billion dollar TV deal. | |

| A little more info... Quote:
Jimmy Haslam III has big plans for the Browns. And he better. After all, he just signed to purchase the team from Randy Lerner for $1 billion.
On his to-do list:
- He's eager to bring ''winning back to Cleveland.''
- He's eager comfort fans by offering up a ''zero chance'' the team moves out of town.
- He is ready ''listen, learn and observe.''
- He is ready to explore naming rights for the team's stadium.
- And get this: You know that famous look, right? Who doesn't? The orange helmets, the lack of a logo on it, the simplicity of it all? It could - could - be on its way out. ''Will we change uniforms? I don't know,'' he said. ''But it is a marketing world.''
Haslam - the truck-stop magnate from Tennessee who is now a former minority owner of the rival Pittsburgh Steelers - watched his first practice Friday at his new team's facility and quickly pledged to provide progressive leadership to this AFC North squad that went 4-12 last season.
''Our style is going to be involved,'' said Haslam, wearing an orange tie and sporting a Browns logo pin on his suit lapel. ''We'll be out there selling the Cleveland Browns all the time.''
