Who Dey Revolution Manifesto

  • Preamble

    IN THIS TIME of perpetual Cincinnati Bengals incompetence and futility, with zero playoff wins in the eighteen seasons since the WhoDeyRevolution Godfather, Paul Brown, passed away in 1991 and handed the team to his fortunate son, the Despot, Mike Brown;

    Introduction

    WE, the members of the Who Dey Revolution, in our fervent dedication to the Cincinnati Bengals and fanatical desire to transform our hometown team into perpetual Super Bowl contenders, call for a popular revolution of fans to demand comprehensive reform to the managerial decisions and approach of Cincinnati Bengals ownership, management, staff and players, and hereby call for the adoption of the following Who Dey Revolution Manifesto:

    Manifesto Demands

    THAT the Mike Brown, Katie Blackburn, Marvin Lewis, along with every other member of the Bengals management, staff and personnel, state publicly to all Bengals fans, “I will do everything in my power to help the Cincinnati Bengals win a Super Bowl;”

    THAT Mike Brown will hire a general manager, drastically expand the scouting department and relinquish all control of player personnel;

    THAT all training, rehabilitation and medical facilities are considered best-in-class compared to other NFL teams;

    THAT the management fill the team only with players who fit the system, both mentally and physically, and are not reluctant to makes changes to player personnel when needed, regardless of cost or loyalty concerns;

    THAT offensive and defensive line depth is considered the top priority for all player personnel decisions;

    THAT all decisions made by ownership, management, staff and players, both on and off the field, are judged only by this criterion: “Does this help the Cincinnati Bengals win a Super Bowl?”

Brown to Millen, "Can You Top This?"

In a show of disrespect to Lions GM Matt Millen, Mike Brown has recently called him out for horning in on his formula for failure.

"I used to respect Matt Millen for his innovative draft approach," Brown said at a Press Conference inside his mansion made of gold. "But now I'm beginning to feel like he needs to stop trying to be like the Bengals. Signing Kitna is one thing. I understand that. All my scouts in the know rave about his small hands and faith in the almighty to convert that wobbly 20 yard out. But I can't stand pat while some other guy steals my thunder on draft day. Well I will stand pat, but you understand the figurative sense of the saying."

"First off, I learned a great deal from Mike Brown before I became a GM. HIs shrewd maneuvers and bold strategies have built the Bengals into the powderkeg they are today," Millen said. "But I am insulted by his claim that I am stealing anyhting from him. My draft strategy is simple. I write down a ranked list of receivers and hand it to the NFL before the draft. I go golfing. The NFL then selects the highest ranked receiver on the list for me when the Lions are up every round."

Mike Brown couldn't be reached for further comment, but he did send our headquarters a personal scouting report scrapbook of his favorite draft picks.

Justin Smith - Opposing Scout in AFC North - "No mental grasp of game. Run counters and misdirection plays against him. Has one move; Bull Rush. Never Swims or Spins. We'll miss him."

Akili_120x152 Donnell_rawlings_m4 Akili Smith - Opposing Scout in AFC North - "Successful TV actor on Chappelle's Show. Catchphrase, I'M RICH, BITCH."

Chris Perry - Anonymous Scout - "His body is made out of particle board. Or has Rocco Baldelli's Disease. Or both."

Dan Wilkinson - MIke Brown - "Had to draft him after personal workout. He ate a 96 ounce steak in 16 seconds. Thought it correllated well with Draft Analysts saying he could swallow up a running game."

Actually, The Bengals drafted Justin Smith because he impressed Tim Krumrie with his wrestling ability. No joke. Krumrie said he liked to sneak up behind prospects before the meeting/workout and wrestle them. Justin Smith put up a good fight and Krumrie gave Mike Brown his assurance that Smith was worth the 4th pick in the draft. No joke.

And I hope you got the pure joy I did from repeatedly seeing Krumrie on espn highlights chicken fighting with Glenn Dorsey. That old bastard still has it, good times USA
