Also, Modell had been shopping the team out to several cities, we just won out because of the investment we were willing to make (M&T Bank Stadium). But, it happened at a time in my life where I was not sober often, so my details could be off. Either way, we both have teams now, and neither of us have to deal with Art anymore.
    Apparently, the City offered Art a combined place with the Indians and he passed, telling the City he'd wait his turn. He didn't. Nobody in Cleveland was aware that he was shopping the team and David had stated early in August that they were committed to staying. You're right, Art's gone and won't be in the Hall.

    Probably not, there have been some awful teams over the years , but I wish they'd win a damn game and give my niners a shot at the number one draft choice.

    But then, who hasn't?
    The Cleveland Browns have never been to the super bowl. I can't remember the last time they even had a winning record or made the playoffs.

    When a team is as bad as the Browns are there can only be one reason. Bad owners. Too bad Cleveland can't force a buyout.

    Obviously the the people making the decisions on the acquisition of talent are doing a horrible job.

    The Cleveland Browns won an NFL Championship in 1964. The NFL Championship was the Super Bowl before it was called the Super Bowl.
