Cleveland Browns Suggest ‘Personal Best’ Bowl Once in a While
In a highly publicized press conference yesterday, Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam discussed his recent meeting with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell about a proposal to restructure the league’s reward system.
Mr. Haslam felt that the NFL too often reflects the negative aspects of competitive capitalism in that the rich teams are usually rewarded simply for being rich while the poor teams tend to languish in their poverty.

He also felt that his proposal was in line with other common American practices, such as the celebration of mediocrity and the love for the underdog.
