With this and all the acquired draft picks over last few years, Sashi Brown is actually a pretty smart guy.. overshadowed by a fellow con-man that should be forced to sell the team. He's an attorney now and not in the league, but I think a team should scoop him up even as an assistant GM.

If anyone here was wondering as to why I refer to Haslam as "Hee Haw", the answers are all in that article. He just needs to stay out of Dorsey's way and cut the checks. I want to believe he's learned something along the way here.
I did think it was telling that he and Dee were both sitting in the front row during Freddie Kitchens' press conference as opposed to sitting at the announcement table. The table was just Buddy Boy and Freddie.
As to the part I've highlighted in bold, I completely agree. Once the Pilot/Flying J thing hit the fan, he should've been forced to sell, or better yet, the NFL should've vetted him a hell of a lot better, but his billions were too much for them to pass up. I've always thought he was in on the scam the whole time which has made it impossible to embrace him as 'the owner of the Browns' (hell, one of the sales directors was on tape laughing it up that "Jimmy loved it", referring to the scam).
