Art Rooney II made a brief statement today on Jimmy Haslam III becoming the new owner of the Cleveland Browns. Haslam was previously a minority owner of the Steelers:
"Jimmy Haslam and his family have been great partners in the Steelers Ownership for the past three years. I am sorry that he will be leaving our Ownership group, but I am happy the National Football League is going to have a strong new Owner. I am sure the Haslam Family will bring constructive and able ownership to the Cleveland Browns."
… and hopefully he can help rebuild the rivalry between the Browns and Steelers as well.
