Cleveland Browns Last Game?

[saywhatmachine]

im legit about to cry listening to this

[misterrnr]

Pretty emotional for me from many aspects!

[slydawg221]

this is so cool, i only wish i could find footage from the oilers last game at the astrdome.

[halperry]

Do you have any more audio or video from this game?

[tonymo21588]

nope hes not dead, pretty sure your wrong.

[spooninspoon]

1:09 uh wow

[bluejacketsman86]

can borrow this footage? im making a tribute video to the old lady by the lake and this is great!

[forza1992]

im glad art is dead... i hope to one day piss on his grave

[tonymo21588]

umm art didnt die

[tedkissel]

Art's not dead, he's just 2 much of a coward to return to the state of Ohio, because he won't man up & say he is sorry 4 giving the city of Cleveland the biggest joke (the expansion Browns) N the history of professional sports behind their back & of course using the REAL Cleveland Browns front office 2 win his team everything they have.

[tedkissel]

As far as I'm concerned every playoff game, super bowl, and Div title Modell's team has won is no more stolen from the city of Cleveland then the horseshoe is from the city of Baltimore

[58ravenfan]

@tedkissel your a dumb ass. we had TWO players from the Browns on our team. and A LOT of front office changes. thats why you guys went from being bad to us in 5 years WINNING A SB!!! its your cities fault NOT Modells.

[tedkissel]

@58ravenfan

Did I say how many Browns players you guys had NO! And it doesn't matter what changes your teams front office made because all of them aside from Eric Decasse had something to do with either the Cleveland Browns or the city of Cleveland.

[58ravenfan]

@tedkissel -- and again i will point out how wrong you are. the browns had 1 playoff apperance in there last 6 seasons. you were 39-57 in that stretch. 4 years later we built a SB winning team and now have one of the most consistantly good teams in the NFL. obviously its do to more than just one person. and its not Decasse, its Eric Decosta

[tedkissel]

@58ravenfan

OK,

1 even if your team had stayed in Cleveland everything would have happened the way it did four years from when they moved. Art Modell although he was an asshole to the city of Cleveland in real life is a very nice man who knows what it takes to put together a winning team. That's why when he owned the Browns they were one of very few NFL teams to make the playoffs 15 times in 20 seasons and I bet the Ravens do the same.

[tedkissel]

@58ravenfan

Post cont.

You cannot say that about the Colts if they had stayed in Baltimore since when Tony Dungy came to Indy it was all about him returning to his roots of the mid west since he was strongly contemplating retirement at the time and Carolina offered him a bigger contract then the city of Indianapolis did. And Tony Dungy has tough Bill Polian everything he knows about drafting defense.

[58ravenfan]

@tedkissel --- i like Dungy but im pretty sure it had more to do with Manning than Dungy. and your point about the Colts made NO sence. IRSAY ruined the Colts. NOT Baltimore. Modells situation was completly differant than irsays. i just found this yesterday. google "browns history" scroll down to the one that says " browns history google books". click on it and go to page 102 and read from there. you will get what all realy went down.

[tedkissel]

@58ravenfan

Nope Tony Dungy going to the Colts was all about him returning to the mid west. The Colts were a bad team when he signed on as their coach and their were allot of question marks surrounding rather or not Peyton would be a good QB. Plus if you read his book you will see that it was all about him returning his roots in the mid west when he signed on with the Colts. And Bill Polian talking him out of retirement which would not have happened if the Colts had stayed in Baltimore.

[tedkissel]

@58ravenfan

And on every other website it clearly states that the city of Baltimore in the fall of 1995 signed a document stating that the Browns would move to Baltimore and take their name and colors with them. Now Modell may have given your city that document and said basically sign this or don't get my team I know Irsay did that with Indy when he moved the Colts. Then the city of Cleveland made Modell change his team's name that's the way it is just ask anyone from Ohio.

[58ravenfan]

@tedkissel -- and NO the browns stadium was literaly falling appart, buit Memorial wasnt. some upgrades would have been nice but the structure it self was fine. i mean hell we had teams playing in it untill 1997. 11 years after irsay left.

[tedkissel]

@58ravenfan

And you are right Modell's situation was absolutely different then Bob Irsay's. Bob Irsay was going to get his team taken away from him by state law the following day he moved his team if he didn't act on moving them instantly. And Bob Irsay mainly wanted to move his team due to their low attendance Modell wanted to move his team because their stadium was literaly falling apart.

[58ravenfan]

@tedkissel -- dude please read up on this BEFORE you answer. 1) the reason that the attendance was so low was because HE screwed the team up. why spend hard earned money and give it to an owner who dosent give a shit? thats whuy we tried to take the Colts from him. 2) the "BROWNS" was MODELLS team. NOT THE CITIES!!! Modell could have taken EVERYTHING "BROWNS" related. EVERYTHING!! the city had ZERO rights to ANYTHING "BROWNS" RELATED.

[58ravenfan]

@tedkissel -- and dungy was great but in mannings first 4 seasons the colts made it to the playoffs twice with Manning in 2 PBs WITHOUT dungy. and this past season he made ANOTHER PB and the colts made it to the SB WITHOUT Dungy.

[tedkissel]

@58ravenfan

Plus your are right the Ravens front office is more then just Eric Decosta everyone else has some type of history with the city of Cleveland and those people would have been working for the Browns if Art Modell, Steve Biscotti & Ozzie Newsome hadn't snagged them first fort their team.

[furlongjeffrey]

i agree with wwrjd1523, im true black and gold steeler fan and if my steelers left ill still root 4 them when there in the new city

[mistert28]

this video makes me sad. And pepper johnson was the man.

[SaleGuy]

Modell is a cocksucking bitch and carpetbagger!!!!

[dembkomj]

i miss the old stadium

[misterrnr]

We had three season tickets in the Dawg Pound for over 9 years. What a blast, win or loose! It was never the same in the new stadium.

[fellowtraveler87]

I don't get how it relates to your wife?

[misterrnr]

My wife and I had season tickets in the dawg pound for many years. It was one of her big joys in life. She passed away in Dec of 2002. When I happened across the video that I took this clip from and saw her I knew I had to do a tribute to her. As the announcers say "They just want to sit and stay warm in the memories of so many years" and "No one wants to let this moment go" my thoughts are of my late wife not the Browns.

[saywhatmachine]

is modell dead yet if not im gonna kill him

[TheOHbuckeyeIO]

Please do, saywhatmachine. I'll be your attorney, and you'll get away with it because I'll convince the judge you didn't kill a "human being."

[misterrnr]

Casey Coleman the Brown's announcer on the video passed away on Nov. 27th, 2006 and my wife, who this video is really all about, on

Dec. 15th, 2002

[BallinNQnz]

They jus sound so sad. No enthusiasm on their part.

[misterrnr]

Saddest day in Cleveland sports history.

[reuccio92]

true, very true

[wwrjd1523]

im a die hard steelers fan but i do feel bad for browns fans in this case i cant amagine loosing the steelers the city would just fall apart

[misterrnr]

Many Browns fans joined a convoy to Pittsburgh for the last Steelers Browns game. We didn't have tickets we just wanted to be there to support our team. The Steeler fans were great we hugged, we cried and we downed a few beers knowing that the best rivalry in the NFL was about to end.

[prb85]

wow..this call is one of the more depressing things i've ever heard..hate i never got to see a game there
