This wasn’t Corey Dillon throwing his uniform into the stands, or the Pickens’ clause scenario, or Chad holding out for more money or deferring surgery until the start of the season to hold out for more money. This was a player holding the owner accountable for winning. And the owner saying, “No,” to doing everything in his power to win. Carson had one trump card to play, his service, and he played it. If you can’t commit to winning, trade me. Mike thought he would call Carson’s bluff, but Mike didn’t understand money wasn’t more important than winning to Carson.  Only Mike Brown would commit to not winning over his $100M QB.

After 2010 Marvin was the one who went public with wanting out of Cincy if MB didn't meet specific demands, said demands were not met and Marvin just backed down.  So in addition to having a slew of former players and some coaches who wanted out and a QB who wanted out we got another 8 years of a HC who wanted out.

Ah well...at least the Chad love is back now that he's Mr. Bengal who flopped hard in NE, MIA, and the CFL.  I do have a slick throwback Pats jersey of his I got for like $3!
