Browns' Owner Randy Lerner is not happy with Cleveland's Channel 19

Cleveland Browns' Owner Randy Lerner isn't happy with a particular Cleveland Media Outlet, WOIO Channel 19. During the Super Bowl, Action News, ran adds for their newscast stating that the Browns are up for sale and the public should know about it.

"I can definitely, positively, and categorically say that the Cleveland Browns are NOT up for sale," Mr. Lerner told WKYC news anchor Romona Robinson in a private phone conservation Monday.

The station claimed that there was a mysterious letter that Lerner had written mentioning his intentions of selling the franchise. Lerner has had a few offers in the past for the team and has turned them down. His late father Al originally purchased the franchise bringing them back in 1999.

"There is no letter that I know of stating that fact. I adore this team," said Mr. Lerner. "I am working feverishly to make this a better team, and you can quote me."

Since their return, the Browns have made one playoff appearance and had several busts in the drafts, including but not limited to the fantastic, Courtney Brown, Gerard Warren, William Green, and who can forget Tim Couch.

"They have gone on a steady mission to try to embarass or denigrate me and the Cleveland Browns. I have never spoken with anyone from Channel 19, and I have no idea where this story came from."

Lerner is under fire in the Cleveland because it is seen that he is spending too much money on his football team in Europe when the Browns continue to lose. Apparently Browns' fans and the media have the right to tell Randy Lerner where he can spend his money, at least in Cleveland anyway.
