I bring to you is there really a curse of Bo haunting us? 1991 the year Bo gets hurt play against Cincy and forever puts a black cloud over our team. I bring you these facts that I heard from the talking heads on the radio.
1991 Bo gets hurt but also 1991 MB takes over ownership of the Bengals. We all know that MB very rarely leaves his owners box as well. While playing the raider MB makes a rare move and comes down o the sideline. A few player later Bo gets his hip destroyed.
2015 we are about to win our first playoff game vs that black and gold team. MB comes down to celebrate with the team and we all know what happened next.
Dec 4th 2017 we are playing that team in black and gold and MB makes another rare sideline visit to show support. Shortly after Shazier breaks his neck.
I am no Shurlock Holmes but Bo may not be the curse. It is MB!!!! Mystery solved!!! I knew all that Scooby Do watching would pay off.

Also, reading Wyches posted article about the resignation letter, what was the outcome? Did Sam get his million bucks? The proof is in the real or nonexistent letter. No letter? Pay the man.

Wyche said nah, later and Brown basically said, if you walk out the door i'm taking that to mean you quit, Wyche said i'm not quitting but i'm not doing the meeting now and left. 

Brown made the announcement that he had resigned and Wyche claime he didn't, that he was fired. 

EDIT: I must have heard that from somewhere because now i read the meeting actually lasted a couple hours.

Brown took that as "i quit" even though that wasn't Sam's intent. My way or the highway stuff. Here's the only thing i could find that points to that.

"I'm not going to get into what was said, but I went into our meeting with every intention of continuing our relationship," Brown told the newspaper. "I thought we'd sit down, talk about things, put some things behind us, and go on into next season. But we had a three-hour meeting, and it turned out it just wasn't going to be, and he left, and it's over."

It wouldn't surprise me at all that Brown would pull something like this but, during that time Wyche had already gone through a lot of controversy and a lot of fans were done with his antics.
