Your thoughts about another NFL team (the Cleveland Browns) moving out (this
time to Baltimore).

I heard that Art Modell received a bomb threat, and stayed home.
I heard that the City of Baltimore offered them a deal that Cleveland
couldn't match. (It had to do with stadiums.)

I'm an Australian and all this talk of relocating is a little strange to me
We have 36 football teams (16 Aussie Rulz and 20 Rugby League) and only
one (Sth Melbourne Swans -> Sydney Swans) has relocated.
It seems as soon as a team isn't getting whatever average crowds you get
over there (60,000? - its 30k in Aus.) they decide to move to a different
city! What about the supporter base and loyal fans?

The new team is called the Baltimore Ravens.
It's because Poe died and is buried in Baltimore.

Probably the Cleveland fans think Modell should join him. :-)
