  Kevin Stefanski Hands Over Browns Play-Calling Duties to Offensive Coordinator Ken Dorsey: A New Era for Cleveland’s Offense In a significant shift for the Cleveland Browns, head coach Kevin Stefanski has decided to relinquish his play-calling responsibilities, passing them on to recently hired offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey. This move marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of the Browns’ offense, signaling Stefanski’s willingness to adapt in hopes of igniting the team's underwhelming performance on that side of the ball. The Decision to Step Back Since taking over as head coach in 2020, Stefanski has called offensive plays for the Browns. Under his leadership, Cleveland’s offense initially flourished, particularly during the 2020 season when the team made a rare playoff appearance, defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Wild Card round. Stefanski's offensive schemes, emphasizing a run-heavy attack and play-action passes, played a key role in maximizing the talents of qu...

Extends Free Phone Promotions Through Year-End (RadioShack)

Image
NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--RadioShack Corp. (RSH) plans to extend a promotion it offered this week that boosts the selection of free phones customers can get when they sign up for a wireless service contract. The move is the latest sign retailers are willing to compete aggressively for their share of rapidly growing mobile phone sales, particularly smartphones. The stakes are particularly high for RadioShack, which eked out growth in sales of mobile devices at company operated stores in the third quarter while other product categories saw significant declines. Each week through the end of the year, RadioShack customers who sign up for a service contract will be able to choose from at least 20 phones for free with their plan, Chief Merchandising Officer Scott Young said in an interview Friday. That's up from five to 10 normally, he said. The deal is an extension of a promotion the company offered this week in advance of Black Friday. "Given the response, we're going to forma...

Boots, Bieber : Macy's Plan

Image
Macy's Herald Square carries hundreds of thousands of things to buy. But it's no coincidence that so many shoppers left the store early Friday morning with one of the same four items: Rampage boots for women, Justin Bieber perfume, Ralph Lauren pillows and Black & Decker toaster ovens. The department store always promotes tried-and-true draws like jewelry, housewares and coats, but it starts mapping out less predictable best sellers almost as soon as the annual event ends each year. The company scours purchasing data, drafts shopper profiles and tests its customers' appetites to make sure products don't run out until the first round of sales ends at 1 p.m., said Patti M. Lee, district vice president of Macy's Herald Square flagship store. Getting it right on the highest-profile shopping day of the year is crucial if Macy's Inc. is to attract consumers' attention and boost its sales in what has become an fiercely competitive and discount-driven shoppi...

chill to save cold cash at Kohl's in Boynton on Black Friday,Hundreds line up in darkness

Image
BOYNTON BEACH — A chill wind and full bellies didn't deter the more than 450 early-bird shoppers in the queue at Kohl's late Thursday night waiting for the special midnight opening. The earliest the department store had opened in the past was 3 a.m., and the line to take advantage of the extra three hours of savings stretched more than halfway around the building and into a darkened side parking lot. It took a full 10 minutes for the entire line to filter quickly, but calmly inside under the watchful eye of two Boynton Beach police officers. Another 100 or so people were waiting in a completely full parking lot where cars circled searching for open spots. What brought them? More than 500 advertised specials available between midnight and 1 p.m., including the $100 area rugs on sale for $29.99, which Charlotte Fields was hoping to snag. "I always do Black Friday at Kohl's," said Fields, a 4-year Black Friday veteran from Lake Worth. "I'm looking for ...
