Today in History


Robbed!
November 6, 1995. Cleveland Browns owner Art Modell announces he is moving the team to Baltimore. The Browns were an NFL institution, with some of the best and most passionate fans in the league. Fortunately, Cleveland retained the rights to the Browns name and football came back to the shores of Lake Erie in 1999. However, the Browns have never been the same, making the playoffs only once since their rebirth. To rub it in even more, Modell's new team, the Baltimore Ravens, would win a Super Bowl within five years of leaving Cleveland.
