THE GROSSI BOAT IN WHICH HE NOW SITS IS OVERCROWDED
By STEVE KING
Full disclosure here: We’ve all done it.
Whether you’re in the public spotlight all the time, or none of the time, we’ve all done it.
That is, we’ve all done something and said something for which we’re extremely embarrassed, sorry, horrified, disgraced and apologetic. There are no exceptions – absolutely none at all – to that statement. That is not an opinion, or a generalization. Rather, it is a fact. Like it or not – and, let’s be honest, we don’t like it – it is the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help us God.

We say that, of course, in light of the unfortunate comment made by longtime Browns beat reporter Tony Grossi about Cleveland quarterback Baker Mayfield on Tuesday while he was covering the NFL Combine at Indianapolis.
It was earthshaking news, especially locally but also nationally to some degree, and as such much was written about it, including here on Browns Daily Dose, and much more will be written about it, again including here on this website.
Why? Because it has shock value. People are interested – very much so – in it.
With that, then, we just need to get it out there right up front that, unfortunately, what Grossi did – using a profanity and an ugly slur against a group of people in commenting unknowingly into a live microphone – is not new. It’s been done before – a lot – and will be done – a lot – going forward. It’s just the way it is.
So, there are skeletons in everyone’s closet. And what’s that about being careful not to throw the first stone when we all live in glass houses?
We can’t be “holier than thou” concerning the Grossi incident, although there has been plenty of that in these first hours and days since it happened. We need to take a deep breath and look at this for what it was, and what it remains to be, and that is a very serious mistake that, if the truth be told, Tony Grossi would do anything to correct, as hard as that may be to do given the climate in which we now live.
The Grossi Boat is overcrowded.
