"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Cleveland Browns and general manager Ray Farmer face punishment from the NFL for allegedly impermissible texts to the sidelines during a game, reports the &lt;em&gt;Cleveland Plain Dealer&lt;/em&gt;'s Mary Kay Cabot.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;According to the report, the NFL is investigating if a high-ranking personnel member of the team sent texts about play calls from the press box to the sidelines during a game.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The NFL bans any type of electronic devices being used for such communication beginning 90 minutes prior to kickoff of a game.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cleveland could face multiple sanctions, including the loss of draft picks, fine and a possible multi-game suspension for Farmer.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Browns head coach Mike Pettine has said that the league has already spoken to him about the texts, which reportedly center around former offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Shanahan reportedly had an issue with the texts, feeling it was interfering in coaching decisions.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Shanahan spent only one season with the Browns before parting ways with the team last month. He was subsequently hired as the offensive coordinator for the Atlanta Falcons.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- &lt;em&gt;Scooby Axson&lt;/em&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
