A History of Harold Ballard's Villainy
The recent passing of Art Modell,
the former Baltimore Ravens owner who moved the team from Cleveland,
has prompted the "new Browns" to hold a special tribute before Sunday's
game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
While most people do not feel the joy in someone's death, even someone they very may well have hated, any sort of tribute for the man who ripped the Browns from Cleveland will surely be met with hostility.
It wasn't long ago that Toronto had their own Art Modell. Not an owner who was hell-bent on moving the team, but one that destroyed them nonetheless.
