Quote:Browns are backpedaling not unlike the typical TMD misstep.

This is why you don't accept a report about the details of a contract until it's actually written and signed off on.  TMD tries to spin it like they changed the contract after the details were leaked, but that's crap.  Anyone who has ever worked with lawyers on drafting a deal knows how long it takes and how detailed it has to be.  They're not going to scrap it mid-stream because the media is supposedly getting details (which turned out to be incorrect). 

 

I went back and read Haslam's comments that the media is using as their "immediately" or "will match any offer" reports.  He never really said that in the interview they quote.
