Buddha Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 Quotes from today's WP:<br /><br />"You don't build a franchise by paying an exorbitant amount of money to certain individuals," Modell said. "You do it by being fair, equitable and even-handed. You have a lot of people to deal with. Chemistry is what's important. Let him [snyder] find that out the hard way."<br /><br />Reached last night, Snyder said, "I have a great deal of respect for Art Modell and the success he's had in the 41 years he's been in the National Football League."<br /><br />Classic comeback, Mr. Snyder!

indyskinsfan Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 It took a LOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNG TIME BABY!<br />Didn't it Mr. Modell to get that magic for once didn't it???<br /><br />Yeah, I like that and it's so nice, not to, uh hum, step on the "Godfather's" toes.

A few months after winning the Super Bowl with Trent Dilfer,who won his last 11 starts.The Ravens gave Elvis Grbac an 11 million dollar signing bonus and a 5 year deal worth 30 million.Wasn't worried about the chemistry then was he?

Rat_Boy Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 I have to wonder what Modell is <img border="0" alt="[joint]" title="" src="graemlins/joint.gif" /> ???<br /><br />Ahhh.. No I don't. <img border="0" alt="[finger]" title="" src="graemlins/finger.gif" /> HIM!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. D Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 Geez my three kids don't whine like that!<br /><br />"ok Mr. Modell you go take your marbles and go home now." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboDaMan Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 Well said, fellas. In this case its:<br /><br />Snyder=class <img border="0" alt="[cool]" title="" src="graemlins/cool.gif" /> .<br />Modell=a$$ <img border="0" alt="[cuss]" title="" src="graemlins/cuss.gif" /> .<br /><br />It took Modell 40 years to get to the point where anybody really cared what he had to say. He's selling the team in a couple of years but before he's gone the Ravens the Ravens will once again be mediocre and Modell will revert to being an NFL artifact.<br /> <br /> <small>[ February 12, 2002, 08:11 AM: Message edited by: JimboDaMan ]</small> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 Modell won the Superbowl by throwing tons of money at certain individuals. Shannon Sharpe, Rod Woodsen, Tony Sarigusa? I could be wrong, but I didn't think those guys were career Ravens ... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="rolleyes.gif" /> <br /><br />Hard to believe a guy that old can be that immature. Plenty of owners have rings, especially owners that have been around for 40 years. When all is said and done Modell will be remembered for one thing: Moving the Browns to Baltimore.
