Before I continue on this discusison, I should explain I am not a Bengal fan. I am originally from the Ohio Valley. I moved to Cincinnati in the early 90s to go to college. I lived in Cincinnati for seven years so I have a pretty good idea about the subject. As far as your positon, I must respectfully say you don't know what you are talking about. Trust me, there are a lot of people in Southwest Ohio (and other parts of the state and all of Kentucky) who are Bengal fans. They don't show up to games out of protest of bad management for the past 20 years. Mike Brown is a poumpous jerk. Every year he gets on TV and radio and tells people he hears the complaints but he knows what he is doing and the people don't (I am being serious.). He has consistently kept bad coaches around much longer than he should, he has consistently been way under the salary cap, he has consistently brought in guys with questionable backgrounds because he could get them cheap (see Chris Henry, Pacman Jones, Cedric Benson and a cast of thousands) and his scouting department consists of his brother and one of his buddies. He has refused to hire a GM but pays himself a GM salary.
People are fed up. Despite 2 winnings seasons in the past 20 years under Mike Brown ownership, people still showed up in droves for a number of years.. They bought Bengal merchandise. They hope that by going to games Mike Brown will change his ways.
