Out of town newspaper's take on Mike Brown, hint it ain't nice

[GregCook]

This is a good short review of the man's accomplishments that sounds like ShulaSteakHouse gave background information:

The Post has another take on the benefits and costs of getting that coveted 1st round pick

Maybe Goodell and the owners will take pity on us and tell Mikey that he has to give operation control to a GM or risk being forced to sell the team.

"The Bengals don't stay with a plan for very long, which leaves them in constant flux as at various positions." Anyone else find this conclusion off-base? They go on to point at Akili Smith and Chris Perry as examples of not sticking to the plan. I'm sure "the plan" wasn't for Perry (and Irons) to become brittle glass as soon as they were drafted...

Other than that, it kind of feels good that someone out there feels our pain a little bit. And kudos that they get the main point that Mr. Brown is incompetent.

Meh not letting me open it <read it but wanted quote part of it>

not sticking to a plan?! that's part of the problem, every team knows every play the bengals are going to run. do they run radically differently plans from season to season? what are they supposed to do, keep playing the hell out of players underperforming?

"The Bengals don't stay with a plan for very long

When the harsh realization hits that your plans (such as with Akili Smith and Chris Perry) were obviously crap from their conception, why stay with a crappy plan!?!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for not sticking with you recent Sigs and returning to the best one ever.

Glad to see you don't think like Mike Brown.

Here is, I think the money quote,

"Since Mike Brown took control of the franchise following his father's death in 1991, the Bengals have opened the season five times with an 0-7 mark. No other NFL team has done it more than twice.

Losing seven games in a row isn't unusual at all for the Bengals. They've done it eight times in the 18 years that Brown has run the operation, a mind-boggling run of bad football in a league ruled by parity. And there's no telling how long the current streak will last. "

The only consistency in the Mike Brown company is being consistently as bad as you can be.

The hotties will be changing weekly.

IMHO we've all thought like Mike Brown and stuck our heads up our asses many times in our lives. The only difference is we saw our error, and pulled it back out.

Maybe for 58-JJJ Girl you could keep her up until the Bengals win their first game? It will give some of us another good reason to keep coming back to the site.
