Cleveland Browns Owner Jimmy Haslam's Company Raided by FBI and IRS

Deadspin.com

On Monday, FBI agents in Knoxville, Tenn., raided and locked down the corporate headquarters of Pilot Flying J, a nationwide chain of truck stops and convenience stores. The CEO of Pilot Flying J, Jimmy Haslam, also happens to be the new owner of the Cleveland Browns.

According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the company's headquarters was raided as part of an "ongoing investigation" that is being carried out by agents from both the FBI and the IRS. Neither agency is saying what specifically is being investigated, but Haslam released a brief statement yesterday:

"The FBI secured our headquarters today and informed us they are investigating Pilot Flying J. We will cooperate appropriately with any and all external investigations and conduct our own. Pilot Flying J is confident that the matter will be resolved fully."

Haslam had briefly left the company after buying the Cleveland Browns in August, but returned to his position as CEO in February. His brother, Bill Haslam, is the current Governor of Tennessee.

The NFL will announce the 2013 regular-season schedule Thursday at 8 p.m. ET, league spokesman Greg Aiello announced through his Twitter account.

Among the anticipated dates to be announced is the opponent for the defending Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens in the season-opener on Thursday, Sept. 5. The Ravens will open on the road because of a scheduling conflict with the Baltimore Orioles, who are scheduled to play the Chicago White Sox at 7:05 p.m. ET on that date. The NFL, Major League Baseball and the two teams were unable to reach a compromise to allow the Ravens to open at home.

Among the scheduled 2013 road opponents for Baltimore is the Denver Broncos, which if scheduled for the opener would set up a rematch from the 2012 playoffs and also feature the return of linebacker Elvis Dumervil to Denver.

Jets re-signed Calvin Pace on a 1-year deal.

Joy.

Literally have been out of the loop for weeks with this team. Not making any significant moves and dangling Revis around like a rag doll is easily the reason why. :smh:
