We simply said that the current Browns and not the Ravens are the owners of Browns history. And that stands regardless of whatever connection exists between the Ravens and Browns.
I've said all along that, even if it's not legal because of the lawsuit, that there is a connection, and the connection is that the titles are the Ravens because there's a relationship that the Ravens are the former Browns that won the titles. The new Browns have no connection to the old Browns, other than the name (you want to say history, too, but you just agreed that the Ravens spawned from the years of decisions that were the Browns).
End of thread.
I said that a few times that the Ravens came from the Browns- players, coaches, personnel, etc.- and all of you stated that, just because they started a new franchise, there's no connection!
The first Ravens were connected to the old Browns, but only in the same way that Peyton Manning is connected to the Colts or John Fox is connected to the Panthers today.
By the way, do you think that any of the 1990s Browns that became Ravens even knew the names of any of the 1950s Browns?
