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.
