• Innocent until proven guilty, but this can’t possibly end well for Haslam or Pilot Flying J. Best case, Haslam will be cleared, but his company won’t. And it’s not going to help sales.
  
• On Monday, Haslam outline his “5 point plan†which basically passed the blame to everyone else in his organization. His points include:
  
  • 
    
  • placed several employees on administrative leave.
    
  • hiring a compliance officer
    
  • hiring an external auditor to report to the Board
    
  • stopping their manual sales transactions
    
  
  
  
• What will this mean for his ownership of the Browns?
  
• How will the NFL (Goodell and other owners) react? Will they allow him to continue owning the team? Will they ask him to step down?
  
• Is this a bad dream? What in the world is happening here?

  Banner & Lombardi’s 1st draft with the Browns comes up on Thursday. Could it also be their last (if another ownership change is ahead)?

  Will they trade down?

  There’s no way they take Milliner if the CB is still on the board, is there? Banner seems to value D-Line & O-Line.

  Can they find a partner to trade down and get more picks?
