Browns are following the NFL Network...

Or maybe it is Collins simply pursuing the same stuff he was working on at the league level. Whatever the case, Peter King is right on this count: I think the NFL Network is talking to a few really good people about coming on board. No one can see it, but that thing could be a force pretty soon.
If I could buy stock in the NFL and NFL teams presenting their own news and features directly, I would. I know there are obvious conflict-of-interest issues that may prevent this from being considered good journalism, but 1) the world of the NFL has been getting sufficiently big enough to fit enough varying viewpoints that perhaps it's not a huge problem, 2) the league (along with many other people) has probably recognized that negative stories are not net negatives when it comes to publicity and money-making potential -- for instance, why shouldn't the NFL and even the Dolphins somehow make money off of the news that Ricky Williams is retiring? 3) it speaks to the generally lame quality of major news organizations that there is a demand for news directly from the newsmakers -- we'd prefer news from an admittedly biased source over a source that falsely claims to be unbiased. It may be hard to believe considering some of the crap that the Browns organization has shoveled to us these past few years, but I'm bullish on this trend.
