Clevelanders have Bob Irsay and Indianapolis to blame for their loss of the Browns. But unlike the Colts, Cleveland got to keep its team.
Not an Irsay fan but let's not forget to include then Cleveland Mayor (and now alpaca farmer) Michael White and his two (convicted felons) bag men Nate Gray and Ricardo Teamor. White's refusal to negotiate with the Browns & NFL forced Modell's hand. Seems Mayor White was more interested in the kickbacks he was receiving from other Cleveland area projects (The Plain Dealer, July 21, 2005).
