Browns' text investigation: Ray Farmer's aftermath

CLEVELAND -- Crowd noise doesn't hurt feelings. Text messages do. The NFL's investigation into the Browns' game day smartphone communication was never about a suspension or even a loss of a draft pick. Not entirely, anyway. That the league had to discuss the general manager's inbox over something that seems so trivial has implications beyond league guidelines. Ray Farmer had done damage in his own building. Regaining the trust of other Browns' officials has been and should be a crucial component for the second-year general manager's job performance evaluation.
