FL looks at texts to Browns' sideline
http://www.theredzone.org/BlogDescr...oks-at-texts-to-Browns--sideline/Default.aspx
The NFL is investigating whether text messages were sent to the Cleveland Browns' sideline during games, league spokesman Michael Signora told Pat McManamon of ESPN.com 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.
