Last night, over beers the topic of the Bengals inevitably came up. The conventional wisdom is that Mike Brown is a good "businessman".
Let's be clear about something. Mike Brown is no more a good business man as Bernard Madoff is. Mike Brown never ran anything that wasn't handed to him in monopoly form. A good businessman generates goodwill towards his customer base and community. He extorted a community out of a billion dollars to build a palace for that landfill of a team. Exactly how does that make you a good "businessman"?
The other myth about Mike Brown is that he's a "decent" man. One of the teams best all time players, Reggie Williams, will soon have his legs amputated as a result of complications from surgeries on injuries he received as a player. Do you think Mike Brown could have sprung for a $500.00 plane ticket for Reggie to honor him as one of the team greats? No.
To call Mike Brown a pile of shit would be an insult to excrement.
And until fans quit supporting that douche bag, he'll continue to put the same quality of product he has for the past eighteen years.
It's truly unfortunate that you have to root for someone to die in order to have a good football team. But that is truly who Mike Brown is. All this other crap about him being decent and/or a good businessman is simply mythology.
