BROWNS OFF-SEASON 2020

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Wtf is VP of Player Personnel Process
Here's a description of his new role, per the press release:
Kovash has been with the Browns since 2013, when he joined the team as the Director of Football Research, and most recently served as Vice President of Player Personnel. In his new role, Kovash will assist Berry and the senior football staff on all roster and strategic football decisions while also focusing on roster strategy, player personnel process, football innovation and professional development across all of football operations.
 
Rob Lowe's big comeback movie. Perfect role for him given the negative press he'd been getting.
"Marty, find out where the police are going to be taking him. Send over a bottle of bubbly with a bucket of ice and a card. Have it say, "Tough break, get drunk on me. Use the bucket to ice down your marbles, Yours, Z."

I'm imagining Zach providing input during meetings about some software dev issue in Wayne's voice... its oddly fulfilling.
 
Fun fact. He isn't credited for that movie. He was under contract for another movie but did it as a favor for Chris Farley.

Pretty awesome to have Tommy Boy and Wayne's World under his belt. He plays the jerk in comedies quit well.
 
He plays the jerk in comedies quit well.

I agree. I remember hearing that Rob Lowe was in it, and not knowing much about him except the scandal, I figured he'd suck. But he was really funny, and perfect in that role.
