rex was just too stubborn and stupid. when it was a 1 score game and we had the ball, he kept force feeding the run for little 2-3 yard chunks and 1st and 2nd down and putting us in 3rd down situations which we never converted.

No, I don't mind at all. I am happy about it.
At least in my world the NFL merger was successful and Lamar Hunt, Ralph Wilson and Paul Brown ARE in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

I guess that was a little harsh. I would have liked it if the AFL had remained and given the nfl the competition it deserved. Al Davis in the last few years tested my patience but without him the Raiders wouldn't have evolved into the legacy that it became. And besides he was a hell of a lot more likeable than "Art Modell" lol

modell was the prototypical "greedy owner". He bought the stadium and assumed all costs and collected rent from the indians and his own team. He lost the indians because he didn't share revenue on the loge seats or fix the locker rooms etc.. and then he bitched because they built jacobs field and every one moved over there.. well DUH... so he made his bed and the city didn't care if he slept in it. The secret deal with baltimore didn't look too good either, it smacked of memories of how the colts left in the middle of the night. He was quite the hypocrite also when he joined in the lawsuit to try and stop al davis from moving the raiders to L.A. the difference being that davis didn't own oakland-alemeda stadium therefore was not resposible for upgrades to the stadium. Modell wanted his cake and wanted to eat it too.. ergo, he was a greedy bastard and didn't care a sh!t about the cleveland brown fans.. pure and simple.The problem is I used to really like Al, but the past 10+ years he kind of destroyed his own creation.
I have no problems with Modell it wasn't his fault the local politicians in Cleveland didn't listen to him. They lost a team, and had to make all the repairs he asked for anyway as Cleveland Stadium was a hazard. site
