Just to expound on the headstone a little bit -- at least enough to put into true perspective, the headstone should additionally read: "...but my day as an 'original football mind' passed almost thirty years before I constructed the Bengals; and as an Owner and GM, I didn't have a hope in hell to even smell a title for the most part after 1968 because I was no different in terms of competence as an Owner and GM than my progency (who sucks the ass out of a dead giraffe), Mikey Boy Brown, yet I am still glorified in some circles by people who refuse to understand how worthless I was as the Owner of the Cincinnati Bengals and that I passed on that same worthlessness to said progeny. HAHA! I win!"

Who do you guys think you are? This is WAY overboard! It is absolutely wrong of you to use a dead father as a tool to insult his son. If you're going to make your complaints against the Bengals it's fine if they're warranted, but please consider removing this post. It doesn't do anything good; it's just wrong.

Very accurate. I'm sure Paul Brown is spinning in his grave at warp speed. And just because he didn't WIN any titles in Cincy doesn't mean he didn't love WINNING! I just don't see how anyone can say negativity towards him. He loved the game of football, and I doubt he was playing the fans(and taxpayers) the way MFB is.

I may be in the minority, but I like the toon.

WCH-Still the single worst. Cya- Get real, nerd.

I doubt you're in the minority for liking this. Why is it okay for us to say repeatedly that "Paul Brown must be spinning in his grave right now" but not to draw a humorous cartoon to the same effect? The fact of the matter is that Paul Brown almost certainly would not approve of the way his son his running the Bengals, and if you do not think that is significant than you don't really grasp the problem - which is that Mike Brown is trying (and failing) to be his father.

I think PB would be disgusted to see what is happening with the Bengals. PB was no doubt concerned about his legacy. Mike better get concerned about his or he will be forever remembered as a full-blown joke. He deserves to be remembered as a joke at this point, so why would he be insulted?

Let's review: 1970 in his 3rd year as coach/owner of the Bengals PB made the playoffs; the youngest team to make the postseason at that time of the modern era. Yes years later the Jags and Panthers qualified sooner, but w/ an expansion draft that was much more generous than PB had to select from. No chance to smell a title? Yea whatever.
Oh and this little fact,with no PB there is no NFL in Cincinnati.

Now as far as the toon; it is most appropriate the man is on all fours ready to receive, just how Mikey likes his customers; which thankfully I am no longer one.
