PUBLISHER: John Campanelli ([email protected]) EDITOR: Elizabeth McIntyre ([email protected]) MANAGING EDITOR: Scott Suttell ([email protected]) OPINION Speak up here are more than 3,300 Northeast Ohioans who have jobs — good ones — because of the T work done at NASA Glenn Research Center. About 1,600 center employees and 1,750 contractors are robust contributors to the economy and intel- lectual energy of Northeast Ohio, and Glenn has a vital position in helping the region continue to pivot to a position of brain gain from brain drain. It’s critical, then, that our elected representatives and the corporate community recognize budgetary threats being posed to Glenn and speak out in sup- port of stronger funding for the center, particularly FROM THE PUBLISHER in the area of space technology.

20 CRAIN’S CLEVELAND BUSINESS WWW.CRAINSCLEVELAND.COM MAY 19 - 25, 2014 Money: QB has had LeBron-like impact on secondary market continued from PAGE 1 “We obviously drafted someone who is very popular and has his own relevancy,” Browns president Alec Scheiner said. “But our focus is getting relevant by winning. That hasn’t changed. We wouldn’t draft someone to be relevant.” “It’s one thing to have a super- star,” Scheiner said, “but if you don’t win, the excitement fades as well.” After 15 mostly futile years since re-entering the NFL in 1999, Scheiner and the Browns’ top exec- utives are focusing on victories, not selling Manziel’s likeness. But, Scheiner acknowledged, if the Browns win, especially with Manziel at the helm, “our business will be fantastic.” Fewer than four days after the se- lection of the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner, it was already evident that JERSEY: KEVIN KLEPS; T-SHIRT: FRESH BREWED TEES business was pretty darn good ABOVE LEFT: Even at $150 each, Johnny Manziel jerseys are a very popular item in the Cleveland Browns’ team shop at FirstEnergy Stadium.
