The Bengals announced yesterday that 4-game ticket packs will go on sale to the general public on Monday. This comes on the heels that they have exhausted the much ballyhooed "season ticket waiting list," which was first reported here at WDR. As the Bengals announcement states, if they don't sell out games through the 4-game ticket packs, 2 game packs or individual tickets will soon be available. WDR would like to take out a Subprime mortgage and bet the house that the Bengals do not sell out the season on 4-game packages.
Comrades, keep up your resolve. Do NOT buy tickets. If you are tempted, remember - our Week 1 offensive line starters could include Jonathan Luigs, Anthony Collins and Nate Livings.
I'm sure Best Buy appreciates the sale of 2 HD sets instead of me sending Mikey another renewal. I guess maybe Mikey is doing his part to help the economy. He showed me the light so I redeemed my cash @ at Best Buy instead of Mikey's wallet.
While I might miss my beer vendor I won't miss the $7 a beer.
Thanks Mikey for helping me see the light.

maybe i'm crazy but it seems to me that spending money on sports is a huge collective waste of money and time, in terms of opportunity cost. comrade roberts puts that point pretty well. buy a tv and you are essentially giving your money to the retail clerk, best buy, marketing "people," designers, engineers, and im sure a shitload of managers, businessmen and various manufacturers. buy season tickets or spend money at a football stadium and you are pretty much giving your money to a bunch a overpaid atheletes, their owners, coaches, some half-bright food vendors, and everything else associated with the nfl (TV, Doritos, Miller Lite, Mountain Dew Corporation, etc). Sports should be last sector of our society that continues to flourish during an economic downturn, of course im not going to get into the whole escapism issue most sports fans are apart of, which would seem to make sports ever more important. and dont get me wrong, it strikes me with much fear to think that men like ray lewis might instead be roaming the streets and/or running post-apocalyptic cities if we didnt give them tons of money to take their murderous aggression out on each other on a football field. anyways, ill talk to you fools later im gonna go give some of my money to Miller Lite and its subsidiaries.

They have all kinds of tickets available. Check out the links I have provided. Don't be fooled by this 4 game pack. MFB is trying to make you buy the 2 worst games where nobody is going to show up. The very last 2 home games against the Lions in week 13 and and the Chiefs in week 16. Will the Bengals be out of the playoff race or even in it by this time? Typical MFB move! Nice try Clown Brown! Plus, they are saying the pack goes on Sale Monday, but then state on their very own site they are on Sale right now. Check out the links.

I don't know how I got on their mailing list, but I keep getting these ridiculous ticket offers by email.
I wouldn't even give Mike Brown the money for a t-shirt now, opting instead to lose enough weight to fit into a shirt I bought in 1988.
Thanks for the diet help, MB, but why in the HELL would I give you anything when you've given us NOTHING?

I gave up my tickets this year and will not buy into the Bengals again. I called it last season, 2 wins minimum to 4 maximum and this was before carson getting hurt.
They will not win more than 7 games this year and according to sources close to mike brown this is good because he considers 8 and 8 the NFL Superbowl and we know what that means the hassle of planning, structure, strategy to plan a trip to play an additional game. Obviuosly, this is hard because no one is employedd to handle such inconveniences.
So what does all this mean? 7 wins for mikey would be the equivalent of the AFC Championship. Which means competitive, showing up after some real work, an off the wall "maybe" from Bill Cowher, and that we can look forward to the year 2010.
Why 2010? Because, with some real work, competitiveness, and an off the wall "maybe" from someone on TV we might win some games.
Who Dey????

And by the way, this is not the packers or the giants. When people signed up for the waiting list and printed out their novelty item/certificate they had no intentions to pay for tickets when available.
And now we know they did not. 4 game packs get serious.
Another season of pittsburgh and cleveland south Paul Brown stadium. While X thank you Mikey brown Bengals fans drive to Indy for the "real" NFL experience.

I dare you to read the new article on Bengals.com without wanting to flip out from Hob writing " The Ocho" so much.
Posted by: Matt | June 27, 2009 at 10:03 PM
mike browns marketing team blew my mind when his boyfriend. baghdad hob, wrote an article about ken andersons super bowl winning experience with the faggot steelers, but then when they wrote a quote from BILL FUCKING COWARD to try and inspire fans to renew season tickets...i mean, get in touch with your fucking fan base. any true bengal fan wishes aids to the steelers and cancer to their fans.

A bit hard core joemama, with the whole aids and cancer thing, but generally upon meeting someone I will form a negative opinion of them based upon their affiliation with the steelers. But after all it is just football and something to do on 16 Sundays a year.
