IN THIS TIME of perpetual Cincinnati Bengals incompetence and futility, with zero playoff wins in the nineteen 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?”

Baghdad Hob is on it already!
Making it look as though Walter's two TD's were flukes, and that JJ "wasn't fast enough to touch him down" when Walter got up and ran it in for a TD after Joseph played patty cakes. (that was a mental lapse Hobson - not a freak play or a fluke).
The Ravens are back in it with a small school rookie QB and the Bengals' of course "just have bad luck" because Palmer is hurt yet again due to his o-line and Bledsoe-like qualities.
Make it all stop!

A former 7th rounder of ours, burns are 1st round choice. A white WR is faster than our DB's. Great.

Speaking of college basketball, the bad luck spreads to University of Cincinnati as the starting point guard goes down for the year even before the first game of the year. Is it Reds season yet?

0-8 and aint it great. This sucks so bad it is not funny, the said thing is that people think that going 0-16 is going to magically change everything. NOTHING and I mean NOTHING is going to change if this team looses every game. We might get like a new offensive coordinator but that is it. The only thing to really hope on is finding a delorean and turning that bitch into a time machine and going back to the day Paul brown decided to concieve the cincinnati antichrist.

I propose not to wait until you earn big sum of money to buy goods! You should just get the personal loans or small business loan and feel yourself fine
