re: ‘Cleveland ’95: A Football Life’ - featuring Bill Belichick
Definitely a must-see.
Relevant to this, I posted on the Bob Kraft HOF nomination thread, some thoughts about Art Modell, and I thought it was appropriate to share them here as well. I had no idea about his contributions to the league until he passed just a few weeks ago. I just thought of him as the DB that screwed Cleveland in the 1990s. Little did I realize how instrumental he was in building the relationship between the NFL and the networks. He was a TV guy originally, and evidently he knew the business like noone else among the owners. It goes without saying, I think, that the marriage with TV made the NFL. I still think he was a DB for what he did to Cleveland, but I must say in spite of all that, Godspeed and RIP, Mr. Modell...
