Who Dey Revolution Manifesto

  • Preamble

    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?”

The Bengals Are Getting More Unlikeable By The Day!

Do you have a past history of wrecking teams?  Violating the sanctity of the locker room?  Taking swings at your quarterback?  Most importantly, do you HAVE TALENT??????  If so, you, my good friend, are a candidate for Redeeming!!!!!!

Cincy Jungle has already been all over this.  Not much to add here.  I think we're legally obliged to post something though.  So, welcome back Shaun Smith.  The worst thing about this?  It tells me the team doesn't expect Peko, a player who was having a great year (as well as being a leader), to be back.  Ugh.

Seriously, how could he possibly fit in here?  He accused Chad of swinging at Marvin (and Hue "The Hugger" Jackson) during halftime of the '05 Wild Card game.  Either:

a)  that's true.  Chad (not exactly stable) and Marvin (who is quite obviously not in charge at this point) can't be happy.  Really, would you like the guy who ran his mouth so blatantly.

or

b)  that's false.  Which is even worse.

Even more evidence that a 9-3 record at this point is in spite of Mike Brown, not because of him.

He says (according to Hobspin) that he keeps in touch with Peko and Ocho, among others. Doesn't sound like they hate the guy. Of course it's coming from Hobspin.

I don't always agree with everything this site says, but this is cut and dry. This is a bad move. Guy has caused problems everywhere he goes. Is Orien Harris that bad? If so why do they resign him everyweek.

It can't cost that much to bring John Thornton out of retirement, especially not for the last four games + playoffs.
