I disagree with the history part. The Browns name can be sent back and that's 
all well and good but you never saw the Baltimore Colts accept the history of 
the losers that came before them with the same name and later folded. I've 
compiled W-L totals for the NFL and I've included the Browns' wins with those 
of the Ravens because EVERY team has taken their history with them and I 
don't recognize Cleveland's *claim* (If that's the case then let's purge the 
records of the Chiefs, Cardinals, Raiders, Colts, Bears, Lions, Rams, 
Chargers and Redskins).
