Ignore him. He's just some punk.

To be fair there's differences
1) Cleveland approved renovations to the stadium, Modell still moved
2) Baltimore did not approve their new stadium
3) Cleveland was an expansion team, the ravens were not
Obvious differences, but I'm sure Baltimore is over the colts given that the ravens have won super bowls and been pretty successful year after year.
So is that what this is about....winning? So if the Browns could ever win and sustain it would everyone let the Modell thing go? I mean thats not why BALTIMORE has let Irsay thing go. We've always seen it different in my mind.

Then you are lying to yourself. If the Rats had not won that title in 2000 and the Colts had won the one in 2006, you all would have been all bitter beer faces over it.
But, again thanks to Ozzie and Biscotti you didn't have to feel that way. But trust me, you would have.

Art will never get into the Hall of Fame. And it has nothing to do with Tony Grossi. Think before u write douchbag.
Tony Grossi stands up every year in the hall of fame room to make a speech about why Art Modell shouldn't be in the HOF... most people stand up to make a case not against someone.

You no longer have to worry about Grossi doing that. Modell will not be considered in the future. He has been weighed, measured and found to be wanting.
(by the way....he is not the only one that stood up to advocate a no vote on Modell. Guys from Pitt and Buffalo did too)

LOL @ you....i'm sorry your sports teams suck and are irrelevant. Good luck with that,
So are yours, so I see really no difference.
Of the two cities which was the last one to have a team in the playoffs of their sport? Cleveland.

those guys didn't fit his argument. But Hey I'm sure he knows more about modell more than Cleveland fans.

"We are Americans. We don't quit doing something because it's wrong. We just keep doing the wrong thing till it turns out right." Browns maybe the most American Football team ever. -

He was only the owner of the Ravens for about 3 actual years until he was aufed by the NFL, forced to sell his franchise.
Hell, by the time the Browns were reactived Modell was history. Biscotti took over de facto ownership in 1999 when he bought minority interest, but in fact took control of the team.
After that Modell was El Cid.
After his demise, but still during the siege of Valencia, legend holds that Jimena ordered that the corpse of El Cid be fitted with his armor and set atop his horse Babieca, to bolster the morale of his troops. In several variations of the story, the dead Rodrigo and his knights win a thundering charge against Valencia's besiegers, resulting in a war-is-lost-but-battle-is-won catharsis for generations of Christian Spaniards to follow

What do you think about Robert Irsay? Just interested.
Perhaps I should read all the rest of the posts before posting! Ho Hum!
Anyways you are a troll if you think what Irsay did was worse than Modell. Get back under your bridge.

Just because Jews don't believe in hell doesn't mean there isn't one. And if Modell is not rotting in hell....then he is doing some serious Purgatory time.
As for the issue about him being sensitive.....No, its not sensitive. Trust me, it is YOU who would be the one that would act Butt hurt over it when the facts are revealed to you. You are clearly light on your knowledge of those facts based on your previous comments.
By the way, how does it feel to be a fan of one of only 2-3 teams to have had its owner kicked out of the league?
(Leonard Tose, Victor Kiam, Art Model)
I am very proud to be a Ravens fan...we have an amazing fan base and our franchise is one of 5 model franchises that has 2nd best home field winning percentage...multiple super bowls in the last two decades and and an organization that has shelled out the most front office staff and assistant coaches in the league. I know my facts trust me. (I hope you know your current HC and now assistants are all Ravens guys).
Modell may have upset your city with his move, but he left the most important stuff behind. Not to mention you only see the bad in what he did. You don't see the other side of it. So it goes both ways.

Just a little fact in case your not aware of it, Model didn't LEAVE the most important stuff behind, he was going to take the name, colors, history along as well. The fans won a lawsuit making sure Model wasn't allowed to take those things to a new city, or you just might have been a fan of the Baltimore Browns today.

This is my last post on this because you're becoming boring and a waste of time. But here's a quote from your saint art modell.
"We can't hopscotch franchises around the country. We have built this business on the trust of the fans. If we treat them as if it doesn't count, it isn't going to wash." Art Modell explaining his opposition to the Rams moving to St. Louis.
Funny how it was ok with him to move a team when it dug him out of the $60 million hole he dug himself isn't it and he was the one benefitting from it instead of someone else?

If you put up a pic of a steaming pile of poo, it would rival the intelligence of this ravens kid....but then he'd probably just eat it up and tell us how great Modell's fudge is!

Art Modell should (and hopefully is) rotting in hell. Ozzie isn't a traitor. I wish he was working in the Browns front office but I understand he had to go where the job was at the time.
I just can't understand all the hate for Art Modell...ok yes he moved the team, but remember Baltimore knows what that's like as well (and even worse) sorry it was worse...I know you will disagree, but it was.
Bottom line....is Cleveland was left its history, colors, heritage and promise to have team returned witin 3 years (and it was)....also, here in Baltimore we got over the whole Colts thing long ago. Plus i'm 25, so I was born without a football team in town.

You don't know what its like you sack of shit. Baltimore lost their team so they stole someone else's? Fuck you. You, Art Modell and the entire city of Baltimore can kiss my ass.

What he said...

If you lived here, you would understand.
I almost got sent home from work the day Art made the announcement down on the Baltimore harbor. Google "Mike Ditka" commenting on the Browns move....it was a dark day in NFL history, just like the Colts fleeing in '83.
Saw the Ditka thing...I mean I've also heard Ditka talk about how great it is that footballs back in Baltimore, so whats the difference? He's not gonna be like "yay the browns are leaving". I could guide you to watch and read many things about the Baltimore Colts move....

Some people believe that asking for renovations on a stadium that came over on the mayflower is unreasonable, and that football isn't a business. Cleveland could have easily retained the browns had they been willing to spend a fraction of what they spent on the new browns stadium (after the team had left) talk about closing the barn door after the horse ran away. Thanks to Mike Whites selective frugality cleveland has been afforded the pleasure of watching 'cleveland browns lite' for the past 15 years. Mike white wasn't fuckin his wife right and she found someone who would. Of course loyalty means far less in the business world than it does in marriage.

Fought tooth and nail because they felt bad for a sad city. Also, the majority of people in Baltimore have moved on from the Irsay thing. We have a team now that we enjoy so we no longer have to dwell on it.
Its not like the Browns don't exist anymore. Get over it...ALL people (a few exceptions) hate Modell...period. He should be a Hall of Famer. End of discussion.
Modell will never be in the Hall of Fame. End of discussion.
