Art Modell dies at 87

At least Cleveland got a football team in a relative short time after the Browns left Cleveland.
Baltimore and it's fans had to endure 12 long years without a football team, and being snubbed by the NFL twice by giving a expansion team to another city without giving any consideration to Baltimore.
Remember, it was the Baltimore Colts that put the NFL on the national map, and on the national map when it comes to TV viewing.
I am not saying this as if there is no sympathy for the fans of the old Cleveland Browns, but, look at it in the perspective of what happen to Baltimore and how also the NFL treated Baltimore and it's fans like a piece of dirt.
