Art Modell deserves to be grilled over an open fire and served as snacks at the induction ceremony. That's as close as he should ever be.
Why? Because he did what any idiot with half a brain would do? Funny how Davis, Irsay, Rosenbaum, Frontiere, and the gaggle of other pro sports owners don't receive a tenth the vitriol directed at Modell. The guy is a lion of the NFL; he is responsible for Monday Night Football.
But he left Cleveland. Boo hoo. The city kept the name and the records and had a pacifier stuffed in their mouths a couple of years after they wet their diapers. I'm surprised Modell tolerated the mistake by the lake for so long.
