A) Stop trying to convince yourselves or anyone else that his legacy isn’t 99.9% moving the Browns.

and B) You’re only defending him to troll Browns fans.

Sorry, but that’s just wrong.

While on the Cowboys, Jerry never really let Coach Parcells do anything HOF worthy!

Sorry Art, that includes you! Could’ve just sold the Browns and made a ton of money, instead of moving it.

Sixth leading rusher of all time. I understand his ypc is low. But his durability contributes to his overall numbers and he should be recognized for it. And for all the haters, if he played for your team and racked up that many yards you’d be pulling for him to get in too.

He took the money and ran. Pure and simple. He mismanaged the franchise and Baltimore bailed him out. If it wasn’t Baltimore it would have been the next higher bidder.

He is a one of a kind cannonball of a running back that had the 5th highest career yard total ever, and he did it with NO ONE at QB until his last 2 seasons when a young Ben Roethlisberger took him to the big show. He broke the will of defenses that knew he was coming up the middle nearly every time, and still had an amazing success rate on converting for the first down or touch down. He doesn’t have an excellent ypa statline… so what? That’s one stat. He barely ever fumbled, played through injuries, and won a super bowl before retiring. Anyone that says he doesn’t belong is either a Steelers hater or a moron.

It was’nt nasty or vulgar? I just stated a fact,Modell left the Name and Colors,only after he was sued to honor the last 3 years of his lease. Which he would have had to honor of buy out. Only THEN,he left the name and colors because it would have cost him tens of millions of dollars. Tim Brown was left out because of his Callahan comment,in my opinion. It was made without class,in my opinion.

However, I have never been a fan of owners making it to the hall, even the great Art Rooney.

And my favorite stat: Parcells has a career losing record when Belichick wasn’t his DC.

Why the hate, you got YOUR team colors, records and all back after less then five years. Art begged to stay in Cleveland your crappy city dared him to leave and he did. You people are just petty. Modell helped build the league, it is just a shame he doesn’t get what he deserves even in death.

Bettis is only on there because they feel bad that it takes him like an hour and a half to get out of bed in the morning. That’s what he gets for being a 260lb RB.
