    Texts to sideline raise questions

    http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/12142088/nfl-investigating-whether-text-messages-were-sent-cleveland-browns-sideline-games

    The NFL is investigating whether text messages were sent to the Cleveland Browns’ sideline during games, league spokesman Michael Signora told ESPN.com on Friday.

    Texting would be a violation of the NFL’s rules prohibiting electronic communication during games.

    Signora did not elaborate except to say the league is looking into the matter.

    “We are reviewing internally and will fully cooperate with the NFL on this matter,” the Browns said in a statement.

    Though it’s not clear who sent the messages and who received them, a team source said the messages were subject of discussion among some players and coaches late in the season.

    Cleveland.com originally reported the text messages were sent and said it was one issue in former offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan leaving the team. He perceived it as interference from the front office regarding coaching decisions.

    Though no texts have become public, the messages regarded personnel decisions and play calls, the source said.

    The league’s electronic devices rule states:

    “This prohibition … applies to the use of any electronic communication devices, including but not limited to a cell phone, smart phone, tablet device, or any type of computer, whether online or stand-alone, including laptop and hand-held computers, in the coaches’ booths, on the sidelines, in the locker room (after kickoff), or in any other club-controlled area on game day beginning ninety (90) minutes prior to kickoff and continuing through the end of the game, including halftime (with the exception of League-issued tablets used for coaches’ still photos).

    “Team doctors and members of the athletic training staff are permitted to use tablet devices, cell phones, smart phones, or similar devices within the bench area and locker room to communicate player injury information, but may not communicate competitive or strategic information.

    “Club football operations staff members are permitted to use cell phones outside the coaches’ booths, bench areas, and locker rooms only when handling non-competitive and/or non-strategic communication.”

    It’s not good if the front office is trying to dial up plays.

    By the way–this sort of thing plays into a Columbo episode: “The Most Crucial Game” 1972

    Paul Hanlon (Robert Culp), the general manager of the Los Angeles Rockets football team, wants to create a sports empire, but Eric Wagner (Dean Stockwell), who inherited the team, lacks ambition. Hanlon kills Eric instead. He sneaks out of the football stadium during the national anthem by disguising himself as a Ding-A-Ling ice cream truck driver. He then drives out to near Eric’s house, and makes a call to Eric’s house from a payphone, knowing full-well that Eric’s phones are bugged, during which he makes it seem like he’s in his private box at the stadium by holding a radio to the receiver. He then drives up to Eric’s house, and kills Eric with a block of ice, and makes it look like a diving accident. Valerie Harper played Eve Babcock, an operative placed in Eric’s home as a secretary by a private detective (Val Avery). Dean Jagger plays Eric’s attorney, Walter Cannell, who hired the private detective.

    Robert Culp ticks off the coach by wanting to make game day decisions prompting the coach to pay him a visit(after the murder) which sort of aids the killer’s alibi.

    Well if Los Angeles already has a football team,
    then I’m confused.

    The Rockets didn’t last.

    The league dissolved the team and there was at least one prosecution.

    By the way–the block of ice was a perfect murder weapon. The victim was in a pool and Robert Culp clubbed him on the head with the ice–and then let the ice melt into the water.
