Known primarily for moving the old Cleveland Browns to Baltimore in 1996, longtime NFL owner Art Modell actually had a much stronger hand in what happened in the league for decades than that one footnote would indicate. Modell, whose health had been declining in recent years, passed away on Thursday morning with family around him at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore.

Patricia Modell, his wife of 42 years, died in 2011.

Any Browns fans here? Here is a question I asked a friend who is a die-hard...

ME: What do you think of Art Modell?
Browns fan: Fuck Art Modell! I hope they shove his dead ass into a porta-potty so we can shit on him like he did to us.

Hey the reason he left Cleveland is because of no new stadium but the city found time to build Rock music hall of fame!!!

Don't tell me. I don't give two rats asses how or why he moved. It was just a question.

Not a surprising reaction, but at least they:

1. Had a chance to keep the team
2. Didn't lose the team in the dark of night
3. Got to keep their name

That's because people like rock music.

People in Baltimore are funny. Today on the radio people calling in saying what a great man he was and how he should be in the HOF and that the people of Cleveland should just get over it. Then in the same breath they spit all over Irsays grave.

The hypocrisy of Baltimore fans that came out when they got the Ravens never ceased to amaze me. They would wail on and on about how they got screwed as a fanbase, and then rejoiced when they screwed a different fanbase. I think to some extent they were also pissed how, after they screwed the other fanbase, that that fanbase did a better job of fighting back (i.e. keeping the name, uniform, and record books and forcing another team to be put there quickly). I bet they wish they'd thought of that back in the early 80's.
