God, Please Put Mike Brown On Waivers. It's An Ability Thing.

I only caught the last 10 minutes or so of Hard Knocks last night. And I wish I hadn't seen it. Watching Mike Brown sit at the front of a Georgetown classroom and act a fool confirmed all of our worst theories about how the Bengals actually are behind closed doors. I've been trying to wrap my mind around the scenario, and what I keep coming up with is that Mike Brown lives in a world of delusion. No one tells him that most of the players and ideas he brings to the team are spectactularly awful. And since no one calls him on his disabilities he just keeps on playing make believe like he did when his dad was around. Paul Brown may have done the same sort of tinkering with his team but he had decades of teaching and coaching and evaluating talent to rely on. All Mike did before he took the reins was exist as a big round flesh toned bowling ball. 

This situation is so sad. Marvin had his shot at being a head coach neutered by Mikey. The first half of Carson's career is going to pass by with him only playing in one playoff game. Mike Zimmer's head is going to explode after his linebacking corp is decimated by injuries and Mike Brown tells him Brad St. Louis has good lateral quickness and a linebackin' body. And all the while two generations of football fans in Cincy are never going to know what it feels like to have confidence while rooting for their team.

A Friendly Reminder - Mike Brown Is No Paul

As the NFL tips their hat to 50 years of professional football and to legends such as Paul Brown who was able to see through racial lines with the drafting of Jim Brown, league lines with the acceptance of the AFL- NFL merger, and a modernizer of the football world we have but one man that carries Paul Brown’s legacy into the modern era.  That man…  is none other than the son of Paul Brown, Mike Brown.  “My father did think of himself as an NFL guy," Mike Brown stated in a recent article in USA Today.  An NFL guy he was - an influential figure that shaped the modern offense to what it is today.  A coach at one of college football’s leading institutions; Ohio State. He was the first to use intelligence tests to judge players, establish a game film library, instruct players in a classroom setting, use a radio transmitter to communicate with players on the field, and install face masks on helmets.  Paul Brown was a man whose record of  222-112-9 spoke for itself.

WDR salutes Paul Brown for his innovative and competent football coaching prowess and his ability to see beyond the box.  My how the apple falls so far from the tree.  Hold your breath fans because the end of MB’s reign is not near and asphyxiation may be the only cure at this point to relieve your pain.  Viva La Revolution.
