The Cleveland Browns
 PROFILE
The Dawg Pound is loose in Cleveland, but don't call animal control. The venerable Cleveland Browns football franchise has reclaimed its place in the AFC Central after Art Modell moved the original franchise to Baltimore in 1996. In 1998 the NFL sold the rights to the team (along with its name, colors, and history) for $530 million to chairman Alfred Lerner (90%-ownership) and former San Francisco 49ers president Carmen Policy. Arthur McBride started the franchise in 1944 as part of the short-lived All-American Football Conference. After the league folded in 1949, the team joined the NFL, where it won four championships with the help of hall of famers like Jim Brown and Otto Graham.
