Do you remember this team helmet?



Do you remember this President?



You may be wondering where I'm going with this. Well, sad as it may be, the historic Houston Oilers were the last team the Cincinnati Bengals beat in a playoff game. At that time the President was George Herbert Walker Bush.

As an Ohio sports fan, I ask Bengals season ticket holders: Why do you continue to support the blind ownership of the Cincinnati Bengals? I would ask why they support bad Bengal management, but uh......they don't have a General Manager. And Mike Brown, the owner of this horrible franchise, thinks for some reason that his system is efficient.

I could go on and on about how to manage a football team like having legitimate scouts, a general manager, and better community relations. But I won't. This is where I pipe off about Mike Brown robbing the citizens of Cincinnati and the NFL all together.

Mr. Brown convinced the citizens of Hamilton County to build him a stadium on the Ohio River, when it was opened it had the worst playing surface in football. The grass on the field was so bad that Mr. Brown refused to let Cincinnati area High Schools from using the field. The same field that the taxpayers of Hamilton County, not Mike Brown, paid for!

Bermuda Grass in Cincinnati? Are you kidding me? Bermuda grass is for Bermuda and Kentucky Blue grass, or field turf, is for Cincinnati.

And as for robbing the NFL... The quality of football is so consistently bad in Bengal land that whenever a team in the NFL sees them on their schedule at the beginning of the year, they think 'Yup, that's a win.' This is not good for the league of parity. The NFL is designed in theory for each team to be as equal as possible, and the Bengals have not won a playoff game since the fashionable mullet haircut was in style.

I guess in a nutshell what I am trying to get across is that the Cincinnati Bengals are the mullet of the NFL.
