In fact, Art Modell had no intention of changing the name when they first moved to Baltimore ...... it wasn't until the city of Cleveland threatened to sue him and the NFL that he and Paul Tagliabue caved and took the path of least resistance, agreeing to the name-change.


This is a promo for Baltimore's new football team from the Baltimore Sun newspaper, in 1996.
