It's time for another installment of The Givers -- an examination of how high-ranking sports executives donate their money to political candidates and organizations. All these figures are for the 2006 election cycle, courtesy of OpenSecrets.org.
Today we look at the NFL's AFC North
Baltimore Ravens
Steve Bisciotti (Owner) -- $10,000 to the Maryland Republican State Central Committee
Cincinnati Bengals
Mike Brown (Owner) -- $4,200 to Rep. Steve Chabot (R-Ohio), $2,100 to Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-Ohio), $2,000 to Hamilton County, Ohio Commissioner Pat Dewine (R)
Cleveland Browns
Randy Lerner (Owner) -- $2,100 to Chillicothe, Ohio mayor Joe Sulzer (D)
Pittsburgh Steelers
Dan Rooney (Owner) -- $3,000 to North Side Good Government Committee (a PAC run by the Rooney family that gives money to local, state and federal candidates)
Kevin Colbert (GM) -- $3,000 to North Side Good Government Committee
The lesson: If you work for Dan Rooney, you must give to his PAC
