Zegura will be replaced on the sidelines Thursday night by Dustin Fox of 92.3 The Fan and the Cleveland Browns radio network.
Too bad Nathan Zegura didn’t commit domestic violence. His suspension would have been much shorter. But in all seriousness, his job is not to be a fan, it’s to be a sideline reporter.
Browns fans are all in on this guy though.
If I ever get to meet him, @NathanZegura has earned himself a 🍺 on me.#Browns https://t.co/xZGGpjAPQk

While it’s funny that a radio guy has been suspended for giving the refs the business I have to applaud @NathanZegura for showing some enthusiasm. If more players for this fired up the last 20 years may have been better. #Browns

.@NathanZegura is one of the most talented broadcasters I have ever met. He’s worked hard to get where he is at, and this is a disgrace what has been done to him. I’m fortunate enough to call him a friend too. #FreeZegura

The answer is not for the @browns to suspend @NathanZegura. The answer is for the #NFL to fix its refs. #Browns #FreeZegura
