I get that media members are expected to maintain some semblance of professionalism and objectivity while not making themselves a spectacle to the sport that they happen to be covering. That said, I can't help but think that Nathan Zegura is just the man for the job when it comes to covering the Cleveland Browns. I totally understand slapping him on the wrist with a suspension of sorts, as officials have enough bullshit to deal with without being berated by reporters. Still I ask, who better to relay news to a fanbase that's somehow remained passionate through the pro sports' equivalent of prolonged purgatory than someone who is emotionally invested enough in that all-too-elusive win to bitch and moan on their behalf? Nathan Zegura might be a tad rough around the edges professionally, but fanatically he seems like the perfect personality for a target audience that could no longer possibly care any less about how it gets it to celebrate something other than a draft pick for the first time in nearly two years. We've reached a point where I can't imagine there's even one single player, coach, executive, affiliate, or fan that has remained completely calm, cool, and collected throughout the most torturous of losing streaks. To know the Cleveland Browns is to be made borderline psychotic by the team that repeatedly shanked a sure win over to the Saints on Sunday. I'm pretty sure the former falls under the job description of their sideline reporter, even if ranting and raving at referees doesn't.
