This is very eye-opening and concerning. A must watch.

 

This shows that although Mike Brown is old school, he at least does have some of those notions of 'honor' and honesty still.

 

What is troubling is that it seems it is Katie and her husband who are the cutthroat corporate world people who do not value things like loyalty.

 

It makes one rethink this entire "things will be better once Mike is gone" narrative, as maybe it could be worse and he is actually the one still "doing right" by people. 

 

 

 

*** sigh ***. 😔

 

 

It's just lipstick on the same pig.  Burrow, Chase and Higgins are the lipstick.  It's a shame.

Another part of that is, for better or worse, Mike can say no to them. Once he's gone they'll likely be surrounded by sycophants entirely.

The Chiefs just made an in season trade to bolster their pass rush.

Katie just went to Kroger because Tuesdays are double-coupon days.

Jeez, did you put your pad on upside down this morning?? Thanks for adding so much to the conversation. 

I hope Joe realizes the power he has and demands they make some structural changes. He doesn't have to do what Carson did, but he should make it clear the current business model is unacceptable. 

 

In fact due to him being from Ohio and having that Ohio fan loyalty, I think he could have more sway than what Carson would have had.

What player ever swayed the team into another direction than their own?

They'll do it their way as Allways.

He's a bit cynical most of the time.

I hope he can use his power and swat The Powers That Be into making a freakin' trade for a defensive lineman before Tuesday.

I also hope the Bengals win by 8 Sunday ... 

Only positive thing about Whit leaving was that it eventually ended up with the Bengals landing Burrow.  The team nosedived after he left and it’s doubtful that they would have had the worst record in the league in 2019 with Whit still playing LT.  Everything else from how he was treated to the plan to replace him was a complete disaster.

Far more than Carson ever had.. People were somewhat sympathetic to his complaints but Joe could just about bury them. They'd lose the fans completely.

Eh, I wouldn't mind some more cutthroat corporate types if it meant accountability rather than coasting. 

I dont see the big deal here. 

 

We thought we had Whits replacement. Whit was old. It proved to be a bad move. But those are made all the time.

Plus there's going to be a guy on the visitor's sideline that REALLY wants to beat the Bengals.

He is a former Mr. Ohio I believe?

The team kept doubling down on Ogbuehi and Fisher while Whitworth continued to play at a high level. It was a classic case of sunk cost fallacy.

Depends on if you see it as a singular incident or as part of a pattern of bad roster decisions.  They then struggled to find his replacement, both in the draft and in FA.
