It was confirmed by the Baltimore Ravens this morning that former Browns/Ravens owner Art Modell passed away at the age of 87. Sam Rutigliano, who was the head coach under Modell from 1978-1984, remembered his old boss on Kiley & Booms this morning, saying he is “forever grateful” to Modell. Coach Sam also says Modell will eventually be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but not right away.
