Lerner Ranked 22 on CNN/SI’s Rankings of NFL Owners

Michael Silver of CNN/SI has released his rankings of all 32 NFL Owners, and Browns owner Randy Lerner comes in 22 on the list.  Here below are Silver’s comments in his recent article.  

“Unlike the Glazers, who bought Man U because it was a shrewd business move, Lerner — at least as I see it — bought Aston Villa last summer because he has an incredible passion for footie. That’s cool, unless you happen to be a Browns fan. Lerner, who lives in New York, is more likely to turn up across the pond than he is at Browns headquarters, where a source says general manager Phil Savage — having prevailed in a power struggle against former team president John Collins late in the ‘05 season — is now feuding with coach Romeo Crennel. It sounds like somebody needs to be yellow-carded, but who knows if Lerner is even paying attention? The Browns had a promising draft, but this is a dysfunctional franchise.”
