What always strikes me is how the AFC Central has three versions of the Cleveland Browns: the new Browns, the Cincinnati Bengals (Paul Brown's team after the swine Art Modell kicked him out of Cleveland), and the hated Baltimore Ravens. Of course, none of them are very good.

Which reminds me that the Washington Senators gave baseball the Texas Rangers and the Minnesota Twins and there's still no Washington Senators baseball team.

Calvin Griffith, owner of the Senators, assured a sportswriter that the Senators were staying in Washington "so long as I'm alive." Within the year, that reporter was typing, "Acting posthumously, Calvin Griffith moved the Senators to Minnesota yesterday."
