WKNR reports Savage fired, Collins denies it
What. The. F. WKNR just reported a ton of stuff….Savage and some of his staff out. Ray Anderson in. Crennel will be ordered to fire some assistants. Collins takes over some duties. I switch to WTAM, and John Collins is on there saying “Phil Savage is not getting fired, will not be fired”, we’ve “renewed our vows.” Ray Anderson not being brought in. Chaos.
Collins & Fat Pig Triv are kissing each other’s ass on the air, Trivisonno; “This ain’t a ratings play, we didn’t start this, John!” Collins; “I know you guys wouldn’t do that.” Everybody blames ESPN. Trivissonno asks if Savage might resign, Collins says, “I don’t know.”
NEW TAKE? Yeah, ESPN has the worst journalists in the entire world, they’re all a bunch of hacks, how dare they. Nothing to see here, move along. This is going to get very interesting. Let’s see how this plays out after the Ravens game.
UPDATE – WKNR, after reporting “deed was done” at 6.00, then going to Danny Ferry on the phone while WTAM talks to John Collins who denies it, comes back at 6.30 to report the “deed was undone…entire story flipped upside down in the last half hour.”
No idea what the hell is going on here. Seems to me either ESPN’s Chris Mortensen really went off half cocked, or he got played by someone in the Browns front office, or this whole thing will resurface next week.
I’m not sure what you are upset about. Triv found out the truth. He brought in the 2nd highest guy in the Browns’ organization to talk about what was really happening, and it was found that WKNR, ESPN and others had made up the whole thing. What’s the big attack on WTAM for?
Its not chaos. Its just KNR and ESPN speculating over nothing, while TAM was actually trying to get the truth from the Browns themselves.
Sorry buddy, WKNR was doing the same exact thing that WTAM was doing before Collins came on. Casey Coleman, not 5 minutes before collins was on, reported that he was indeed FIRED. And it hurts to sit there and listen to that fatty mcgee triv kiss collins’ ass. Honestly. There is a reason he won’t go on with Roda, because Roda will let him know the damned truth. Eff, TAM. Go listen to the spin.
well, all I can go by is what the Browns’ are saying: Savage was not fired. The whole thing was made up by ESPN.
If you’d rather listen to a guy who has continuously misreported something and listen to KRN who pushes it, then – yah, go ahead. That’s the spin. They’re the ones back tracking now. Not WTAM. *shrugs*
And the reason why he won’t go on Roda’s show is because WTAM reaches 38 states and half of Canada. More people listen to WTAM by far. Roda isn’t credible in this town anymore. The “truth” ?
Come on, you can’t be serious.
Garvin: You think the Browns’ radio mouthpiece is the source for truth and accuracy? That said, why the h=ll should Savage give up anything here? How has he screwed up the salary cap? Getting him help (that you choose, instead of him is insulting.
If Rhoda is right, and Collins didn’t like the lack of “exclusivity” when it came to Braylon’s contract, then JOHN COLLINS IS A FOOL!
FIRE JOHN COLLINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As for why things may have been “undone,” I’m guessing they listened to a) the radio and outraged fans, and b) the rest of the football world.
the more things change…the more things stay the same. hello 5 wins next year!
Let’s suppose there’s some truth here. This guy (Ray Anderson) from Atlanta the media talks about is a lawyer (Harvard Law)…is not involved in the personnel side of the business what so ever. So if Savage goes, who would be reponsible for the draft? free agency, etc, etc? In other words the product on the field? No one that’s who. I got a great idea for Lerner, buy Mel Kipper jr draft book and just select picks from there.
Also Mr Lerner can have my season tickets too (club seats – PSL and all) and give them to those in line from the waiting list. I’ll bet that’s all of 2 or 3 people deep.
If Savage goes they might as well turn the clock back to 1999. It will be never until there any good.
Actually I want my money back ffrom this yr. The product stinks again!!!!!!!!
*sigh* i’m not sure what you guys are all talking about. ESPN makes up a story and you’re still yelling at Lerner/Collins as if the story were true.
