The reason I say Art Modell is that if he didn't fire Paul Brown as coach, Paul Brown most likely wouldn't have founded the Bengals in Cincinnati. The firing is the reason why Brown picked Cincinnat, to stay in state. The name Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns; both CB. The old baseball hats for the fans just had "CB" on them. The colors orange and black instead of orange and brown. The 70s uniforms are very similar.
Much of the stuff Paul Brown did was to F with Art Modell. Paul Brown was punking Art Modell decades before Punked entered the American lexicon.
Jim, maybe you could interview veteran players who played under Paul Brown to get stories about the Brown/Modell rivalry. I would be interested to read stories from Cleveland Browns players on the receiving end as well.
If schadenfruede was a Madden rating, Paul's rating would be 99.
