He’s been on the beat since the Browns returned, and he has done a terrific job. Nobody disputes that.
Ha!

It’s pretty pathetic when a professional journalist uses loose for lose but I agree with the conclusion. What we think of Grossi doesn’t matter. The fact that he allowed his bias towards Lerner to surface sealed his fate. He was lucky not to lose his job outright.

I think they made the correct decision overall. I hate Grossi but losing his job outright over this is over the line because there is a possibility he didn’t mean to tweet that. He clearly needed to be taken off the beat because of the bias though.
I teach good life choices. That's why I almost didn't graduate high school.

A sound explanation of the whole situation. The was, however, a bit of troubling information. First and foremost, Tony Grossi still doesn’t get what he did wrong. That’s a little ridiculous.
Next, this was not the first time Grossi had done this. I was fine with reassigning him, but this is twice he’s had to be moved for personal reasons. A better newspaper would not employ this man anymore.
Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, they were encouraging him to be provocative. That’s not his job. He’s just there to report facts. Not to be provocative.

I am a Brown’s fan in another state. I can tell everyone in Cleveland this is not the way other beat reporters covered their respective team. He insighted people against your team with negative reporting. Be glad he is gone it may just be the start of a Brown’s turnaround with responsible reporting.
