RIP ART MODELL

Art Modell, 87, died early Thursday leaving behind a legacy that was unblemished except for one decision that hounded him for the rest of his life; moving his team from Cleveland to Baltimore.  Modell spent 43 years as an NFL owner, overseeing the Browns from 1961 until he moved the team to Baltimore in 1996.  Long before the Ravens won the Super Bowl in 2001, Modell teamed with other visionaries like Lombardi, Halas and Rozelle to lay the foundation for the league's success.
