The misery of the Cleveland Browns after Art Modell moved them to Baltimore

This is a little video I made up documenting the day that changed the lives of Cleveland Browns fans forever. Art Modell relocated the Browns to Baltimore and renamed them the Ravens. Four years later, Modell and the Ravens get to hoist the Lombardi trophy while us Browns fans who kept the money in Modell's pocket for years are left suffering through the agony of having one of the worst teams in the NFL. The Browns have been turned from a proud and storied franchise into the NFL's laughing stock. To this day, the effect of Modell's move can still be felt. Our hearts were torn out, and it hasn't been the same since.

What is the name of the song at the beginning of the video?

[BrownsBall44]

@Imran500 It's called "A New Game" and it's music used for NFL Films.

I hope fucktArt Modell breaks down and either comes back to Ohio one day, or at least within 150 miles of Cleveland. I'd love nothing more than to turn on the TV one day and find out some kind person removed him from this earth for good.

Art Modell certainly did a great disservice to the Cleveland fans AND to pro football enthusiasts everywhere. Certainly Baltimore deserved a team, but the manner it was accomplished by Modell was disgraceful.

Now, no matter how great a fan base a city has, all an owner has to say is, "City, you had better build me a new stadium OR ELSE!"

I am glad that Cleveland has the Browns back.

...And I HATE the Browns, but I'm glad they're back.

Fuck you fART Modell die already and burn in Hell next to Judas like the pile of human excrement you are. You are a vile, disgusting example of humanity, an example for future generations of what depths people can dive to when they’re consumed by the awful concoction of greed, arrogance, ignorance and even more greed. You're whining like a little bitch because the Hall Of Fame have snubbed you all these years. We I for one am happy they have and rightfully so. Why reward uber greed? Fuck You!

@rschaosmaster As a diehard Browns fan, it annoys me that so many other Browns fans hate PIT more than BAL. I just don't understand it. You know as well as I do that we have a longstanding rivalry with your Steelers, and we don't want to let it die even though it's starting to due to our team's awful play the past 13 years. However, PIT isn't the city that took our team, and you Steelers fans supported us when the team moved to Baltimore. Therefore, I ALWAYS root for PIT when they play BAL.

[hiiiiikaty]

[ravens5192052]

Good News Browns Art Modell isnt gonna be in the hall of fame this year, Go Ravens!!!!

[rschaosmaster]

So if art modell stole the browns and turned them into the ravens then please help me to understand why the Steelers are more hated??? This doesn't make any sense!!!

[ravens5192052]

[clevelandboy5324]

[DJA216]

I still to pray every night that Art Modell dies a slow painful death in his sleep
