LOL see I was more against Quinn with the shoe thing. not the house.

The house was likely a financial decision, not some move to forcer them to trade him. Remember, he bought that house to be close to Scherer who is gone. It's a huge house with a large mortgage, and he likely has to hire a lot of people to keep it up. He's a bachelor, he's not gonna get his escalators likely, and even he's not sure of his future there.

To me, it was a smart move on his part to get out from under any debt, and leave his options open for the future.

LOL! I forgot about the shoes!! Good point!

Yes, it could be seen as a good financial decision...but I'm not entirely buying that line just yet.

I see your point Hiwaygal. I fully agree Quinn's days in CLE are done, and it's best for all parties (Quinn, Browns, and fans) for them to move on (i.e. trade him). It's obvious the staff does not see him in their future.

As to the house sale, I am "eh" about that. It could be for the reasons he mentioned. It could be because he knows he won't be here next year (not like houses at that price sell quickly in this enconomy, so you got to start early). I could point to some Cribbs comments and say he is forcing the organizations hand in a similar manor.

In the end, to me, both guys have kept their mouths shut to the media, which is handling it the right way, for the most part.

And I agree Masters, to some extent both Cribbs and Quinn have really tried to keep their mouths shut to the media or at least present a positive image for them in Cleveland. They have both publicly expressed a desire to be a part of this teams future...but I guess, they are just words.

For me, it's hard to separate things that are in the media from what is real...meaning, there's a lot of stuff that gets overplayed or overhyped in the media AND people sometimes say things intending 'hidden meaning' but the only way you know that is if you have that inside information.
