RIP Art Modell

So reports Jim Donovan on Cleveland's WKYC. May very well not live to see the sunrise.

Will the Browns have a moment of silence Sunday?

Release the, er, hounds?



I attended the Browns home game after the Baltimore annoucement. Without a doubt, one of the most surreal and sad experiences I've ever had at a sporting event.

I still have the placard from Mayor Michael White exhorting Clevelanders to remain calm and basically not tear the place apart.

His death will be annually celebrated in Cleveland.

The first line is totally tasteless ... and that's why I love this board!

 

Re: Art Modell on his deathbed

I would think so, many of the Browns fans I know have already forgiven and forgot.

Rather smart move on the P_D's part

 

Re: Art Modell on his deathbed

Probably because there'd be a lot of this ...

Re: Art Modell on his deathbed

Will they have a moment of silence after the Eagles beat them by 3 tds.

 

Re: Art Modell on his deathbed

Oh my Lord! That's about 1,000 kinds of inappropriate.

But it's all also an all-time "burn in hell for laughing at this" entry if I've ever seen one. It's especially funny if you've ever spent any time at all in NE Ohio.
