8:58	Barry McBride - As a selfish webdork, I'm going to start off this chat about "The Media, the fans and the Browns" with my own question for Pat.

Barry McBride - One of the oft-expressed opinions within the media is that locking
out reporters hurts the team with the fans, who always want more info
about the team. Most fans I talk to, however, tend to side most
vocally with the team and coaches in this situation, and have little
sympathy for the media. Why do you think that is?

9:00	PatMcManamon - That's a good question and I'm not sure I can answer. Because fans want information, then when we point out we can't get information because access is so limited and structured, we get blamed for not doing our job.

9:01	Barry McBride - Keep in mind that we'll talk Browns, but the main topic tonight is how the team is relating to fans and the media (and vice-versa). This was started by some harsh criticism of the media we've seen of late.
