		Modell, 76, who was at his California vacation home at the time, is expected to fly back to Baltimore, where he will undergo further tests at Johns Hopkins Hospital.
		Art Modell even wants to try to make an appearance Saturday for the NFL draft at his team's Owings Mills practice complex.

	Modell ready to own up to 40-year tenure - Greenwich Time

		Modell, the owner of the Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens for more than 40 years, watched his season end with a playoff loss, an ending far too common to Browns fans.
		Modell’s fellow owners sing his praises for negotiating the first of what has become an insanely lucrative television deal (from $4.65 million in 1962 to $18 billion today).
		Modell pleaded poverty, saying that he had to move the team to Baltimore because he could no longer remain competitive in Cleveland.

	Modell thinks the rewards were worth the risks
		Modell kept his tongue and when the other two buildings were complete and he came with his hand out, it was slapped.
		Modell claims that many other owners benefitted by his move because the politicians and public in their cities feared that if the Browns could move, so could the Steelers or Bengals or Lions or Eagles or Patriots or Broncos.
		Modell won't say it, but there is a sense that his trip to the Super Bowl would have been more fulfilling for him had it been with the Cleveland Browns.

	Art Modell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Arthur B. Modell (born June 23, 1925, Brooklyn, New York) was a National Football League team owner with the Cleveland Browns from 1961-1995 and the Baltimore Ravens from 1996-2004.
		Modell later alleged that the suites were unsuccessful because he had borrowed the money for construction at the high interest rates that then prevailed, however, he has not accounted for why the revenues the suites generated wasn't used to pay down the debt.
		By the 1990s, Modell was disturbed at what he saw as the financial distress of the Browns and Stadium Corp., as recounted in detail in the book Fumble: The Browns, Modell, and the Move by Michael G. Poplar with James A. Toman (ISBN 0-936760-11-7) which was written by a Modell associate and longtime Browns employee.

		At first down and goal to go, Ravens owner Art Modell is holding the line against a former business advisor's trustees seeking a finder's fee equivalent to 5 percent of the net gain in the sale of his stock in his NFL team.
		But Modell's defense is based on the contention that the letter says the event that triggers the payoff is his complete divestiture or liquidation of his stock in the team.

	"Modell Delendus Est"
		It's Latin for "Modell must be destroyed." It's a reference to the deceitful Art Modell, who, despite his promises not to move the Cleveland Browns, moved them to Baltimore, citing Cleveland's purported refusal to build the Browns a new stadium.
		Modell spurned the opportunity, hoping that his failure to participation would force the plan to fall through so that the Indians would have to stay in Cleveland Municipal Stadium.
		Encumbered more by greed than by civic loyalty, by integrity or by honesty, Modell moved the team to Baltimore, where he was promised the use of a new $200 million stadium rent-free for seven years, revenues from skyboxes, parking and concessions, and as a sweetener, a $75 million bonus for moving the team.
