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?”

no not that Mike Brown, the other Mike Brown

May 24, 2010

If Only It Were So Simple...

...we can't just fire our Mike Brown.

Good move by Cleveland, about 5 years too late.  I suspect after this offseason we will file this move under the category of closing the barn door after the horse has already escaped.  At the very least, we know one of the conditions Lebron wanted to stay was for Mike Brown to leave. 

It's like the sports equivalent of those "you know how I know you're gay" jokes from 40 year old virgin...you know how I know you're a shitty coach, Mike Brown?  Because Lebron felt he had no choice but to ask for you to be fired lest he jeopardize his career.

We'll see if moves like this are enough for Lebron to stay.

Anyway, Mike Browns just suck at things.  Can anyone find an example of a Mike Brown excelling at anything?
