RIP, Art. They are referring to him as a "titan of the NFL." I know when you die, people tend to be nice after the fact. But was he really a "titan?" I say such labels are for people like Art Rooney, Papa Bear and Paul Brown. Art chased Paul Brown out of town. Art mostly floundered badly as an owner. When he signed Andre Rison, he had to go bank to bank in order to find someone who would loan him the $ he needed for the signing bonus. And how he left Cleveland was nearly criminal; what he did to those fans was clearly wrong on so many levels. But he did win a ring in Baltimore. So I guess he got over. RIP. RIP.
