ART MODELL IS NOT A SEMIFINALIST FOR PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME CLASS OF 2014...

FORMER BROWNS/RAVENS OWNER ART MODELL WAS A FINALIST TWICE IN 2001 & 2012.  ART'S CONTRIBUTION TO THE NFL SPANNED OVER 4 DECADES.  OF COURSE, THE MOVE FROM CLEVELAND TO BALTIMORE IS PROBABLY HOLDING HIM BACK FROM INDUCTION TO THE HALL OF FAME.
ART TOOK FULL ADVANTAGE OF THE DEAL BALTIMORE OFFERED.  THE NFL OVERLOOKED BALTIMORE TWICE WITH THE EXPANSION PROCESS IN THE 90'S.
IN 1997, ART & THEN COACH OF THE RAVENS, TED MARCHIBRODA  ATTENDED YORK SPORTS NIGHT.  ORIGINALLY, TED WAS ONLY SET TO SIGN AT THE EVENT.  HOWEVER, WHEN THE SIGNING SESSION STARTED BOTH TED & ART SAT DOWN TO MEET THE FANS & SIGN AUTOGRAPHS.
