Art Modell Dead: Former Ravens Owner Dies At 87

Can't wait to see Deadspin report later all the incredibly "enlightened" tweets about this matter from jaded Cleveland fans..
 
My guess is, they'd like to bury him at the bottom of Lake Erie!

He'll have company. But unlike Jim Irsay, at least Modell gave the name "Browns" back to Cleveland. Indianapolis should rightfully give the name "Colts" back to Baltimore since it was derived from the areas rich horse racing tradition (e.g., Preakness Stakes). Indianapolis can use the name Ravens or, more accurately, the names Corn Fielders, Corn Shuckers, Corn Chipsters, Bugles, Corn Holers, etc. And their halftime show can feature the Dancing Redenbachers.
