Browns ax first-year GM Kokinis after 1-7 start

BEREA, Ohio (AP) -- The Cleveland Browns are currently without a general manager after George Kokinis left the club under unexplained circumstances.

After reports surfaced that Kokinis was fired, the team issued an awkwardly worded statement Monday night saying the GM "is no longer actively involved with the organization." The Browns also denied reports that Kokinis was escorted from their team headquarters.

Kokinis' apparent ouster came one day after owner Randy Lerner said he wanted to hire a "strong, credible, serious" football adviser to help run his struggling team, which is off to a 1-7 start. Kokinis was hired on Jan. 23, two weeks after the Browns named Eric Mangini as their fourth coach since 1999.

Ashburn, Va (AP) -- The Washington Redskins are currently without a general manager after Vinny Cerratto left the club under unexplained circumstances.

After reports surfaced that Cerratto was fired, the team issued an awkwardly worded statement Monday night saying the GM "is no longer actively involved with the organization." The Redskins also denied reports that Vinny was escorted from their team headquarters by two security guards and unidentified, masked midget.

Cerratto's apparent ouster came one day after owner Danny "Turd Blossom" Snyder said he wanted to hire a "strong, credible, serious" football adviser that plays raquetball to help run his struggling team, which is off to a 2-6 start. Vinny was hired in 1999, two minutes after the danny bought the team.
