Ross Tucker was talking about this yesterday and today. Tucker said Pacman's first agent was legit telling him "don't buy that, save your money for when you retire, etc" and Pacman got tired of hearing "no, no, no" so he fired that agent and hired one who would tell him "yes."

Only three teams last year averaged less than 85% home attendance: Redskins, Miami and Cincy. Go figure.

Welcome !

I also heard on my drive in where they are referring to this as the "Cincinnati Bengal Rule."

Cincinnati is the only team on this list that makes no sense. They have had some strong teams lately but still no one goes out to see them.

Fans hate the owner. Same with the Tribe and the Dolans.

That's awesome. I like seeing teammates hold each other accountable for shit like that.

I think the venom toward Mikey has subsided. Prior to last year a ton of folks non-renewed season tickets for a variety of reason: price, drunks at the stadium, team was inconsistent, economy, fantasy/TV, comfort. Word is there was a slight increase in renewals this year. There is a solid core of Bengals fans who are loyal, but for most part those who go to games are there to be seen and get hammered, especially when the weather is still good.

Floyd deserved to be called out. And judging by this recent tweet by Fitzgerald....Floyd got the message:

@LarryFitzgerald: Just finished another strong workout with @Wellefast. @MichaelMFloyd killed it 2day & led the group in all drills & squaded 400+. #beast

I have a bad feeling about Ray Rice's future as a Raven. He could just be holding out so he doesnt have to go to training camp but it seems like the Ravens aren't looking to pay him as much as he wants. Ed Reed is being difficult also but he is on the decline so it's not as hard on a fan.
