You should cc Mike Brown on that letter. To see that his leadership has reduced Bengals fans to wishing their team was more like his hated rival... Keep the pressure up, keep embarassing Mike Brown...

That shit heal deserves every bit of public humiliation he gets. Marvin is his shield but we all know who the catalist is and he needs to be plucked like a cancerous growth deep inside of the colon. Until we can find pliers long enough to remove it, embarrasing him in the media is the next best thing. Keep up the revolution!

whoop! There it rears its ugly head again. Practice Facility! Indoor! We must have one or we are somehow a lesser team!
Has it ever occured to anyone at WDR that all the line items you talk about -- being 21st on the Forbes list, 44 straight home sellouts... that Mikey Boy Brown is sitting in his living room at home laughing hiis ass off -- one, that he has been able to pull this off, 2 -- that you haven't figured out that you have had what, 5+ straight seasons where you put money in the coffers and all you had to do was to tell him to go frick himself back when PBS was nothing more than a wet dream for that man? 3 -- that even with all that's happened, there are still people lined up ready to take the tickets for others who have given up, 4 -- that though giving tickets to someone less fortunate is nice and honorable, they certainly do buy concessions thus all you've managed to do is to still fill Mikey Boy's coffers and not see the fargin game (how's that for a misguided crowd? 5 -- that if Mikey Boy put together two seasons in a row that netted at least one playoff game, you'd be frothing at the mouth just like you were two years ago.
See, you guys don't get it... the best thing you can do is to ignore Mikey Boy Brown. Be as apathetic (on a permanent basis with Mikey Boy) as possible and just generally don't give a shit about the Bengals -- and spread that feeling. Mikey doesn't get any attention and maybe, just maybe, he leaves because this town no longer interests him. But be careful -- VERY careful, 'cause you will most certainly lose your precious NFL team and our loveable city will become a tenth rate city (instead of the ninth rate one that it actually is) -- but at least you'll be rid of that shitehead Mikey Boy Brown. Now if yopu aren't willing to lose those things -- then shut up? You had a chance to dump MBB and quite possibly pull a 'Cleveland' and get another team back here instead of MBB and the Boys -- yet you blew it because of selfishness. So either live with it or quityerbitchin' -- as they say.

WC, Why do you read this site? Why do you take the time to post such in depth comments? If you don't agree with our plan of action, then follow your own plan and be apathetic like the generations of past Bengal's fans have done. Your apathy should include NOT reading and posting on this site because WDR will continue to push for change and ridicule Mikey Boy.
