Speros eviction seals Browns move to Baltimore stadium
In Baltimore, Jim Speros lost his bid to keep the Memorial Stadium lease as the Browns franchise, renamed the Baltimore Ravens, will play there this fall after a judge ruled Speros owes back rent and penalties. The case follows Speros moving the Stallions to Montreal after Art Modell moved the Browns to Baltimore. The dispute centers on Maryland officials allegedly aiding the move and back rent totals exceeding $80,000. The segment also notes Tony Woods resigning with the Washington Redskins and competing for a starting role with Rich Owens, while Sterling Palmer retires and new linemen join the Redskins.
