POLICY NAMES LONG-TIME IMG VET RICHARD BEDELL AS BROWNS CFO

          The Browns' "most recent front-office" hire is RICHARD
     BEDELL, who will be the team's CFO, according to Patrick
     McManamon of the AKRON BEACON JOURNAL.  Bedell has worked
     for the past 16 years in financial planning and as
     controller for IMG in Cleveland.  Bedell said he took the
     Browns job because, "Being a lifelong fan, it really was
     attractive to me.  Secondly, the idea of a startup is going
     to be a lot of fun" (BEACON JOURNAL, 11/11).  In Cleveland,
     Tony Grossi reports that Bedell is the "first Northeast Ohio
     native hired by the new Browns."  He is the fifth hire by
     team President CARMEN POLICY (PLAIN DEALER, 11/11).
