Modell righted the greatest injustice in NFL history, the robbery of football from Baltimore. Cleveland was guaranteed a new team the very next day and was able to keep the Browns colors and history. Frankly, they have no idea what it's like to be a Baltimore Colts fan.
Modell didn't sneak off in the middle of the night. He told Cleveland what he was going to do. And then he did it. They just didn't believe him.

If I remember right, Baltimore was very much in favor of that deal because they didn't want to be like Indianapolis.
Interestingly enough, the Colts threatened to move to Cleveland in 1997 and Modell supported the idea, because that would have forced them to become the Browns. Then he could have grabbed the Colts name and logo.
