Today, Dec. 30, could be the day where I cease to use ESPN for any real news.
Chris Mortensen is reporting that the Browns are planning to fire our GM, Phil Savage, as early as today.
According to the Browns board, nothing is set in stone and no firing has been announced. There are plenty of doubts within the organization that this will happen.
I know a lot of us has made fun of Peter Gammons in the past with his "gossip column" - Gammons reports trades that are "imminent" or "just about finalized" that somehow -shockingly- don't happen.
But this is real news, and it toys with the strings of fans around the nation. If this story turns out to be false - and Savage is still here in a month - then ESPN has a lot to answer for. It's getting to the point where all mainstream media is turning into a bunch of Dan Rathers.
(If the report is true, however.... well, let's not think about that.)

What took you so long? I stopped going to there web site after they trashed OSU for "taking advantage" of poor little Maurice Clarett. This was a year after the original allegations and ESPN provided no new evidence. All they did was re-hashed old stuff that had already been dis-missed by the NCAA.
They there was the 15 minute lead story on Sports Center for a regular season game Koby and Shaq last spring. Did I mention it was the 1st weekend of the NCAA b-ball tournament? Note to ESPN, nobody cares about the NBA during March Madness.
