It's not easy being Cleveland Browns GM Phil Savage these days. Pretty much everyone in Cleveland hates you because, well, you've pretty much sucked at your job. Plus you made your email public so you're getting tons of hate mail. But just remember to always, always remain professional. Or not.
It seems that Savage was the recipient of a less than kind email on Monday night as the Browns coughed up yet another big lead and came within hair's breadth (by which I mean a wide right field goal) of losing to the Bills. And he did not respond real well.
Let's have a look, shall we? First, the fan email:
You are easily the worst GM in the NFL. Chud, Crennel and Tucker should NOT have jobs. How the hell do you play prevent defense the entire game? How do you NOT use Jerome Harrison more? Why the hell would you throw the ball with 6 minutes left? This is officially a regime that is worse than Butch Davis'. By the way, just like last week - this email was written while the Browns still had the lead.
Harsh? Yes, but I mean, what does Savage expect? Anyway, here's the embattled GM's lyrical response:
From: Savage, Phil
Subject: Re: Browns
To: xxxxxxx
Date: Tuesday, November 18, 2008, 12:17 AM
Go root for Buffalo-f#@* you-
Now that's definitely the way to win the fans back. By the way, if you feel like letting Savage know what you think of his response, or you want to see if you can actually get him to write the swear out, here's his email.
Do have fun, kids.
