If you make a 750k+ a year you can afford lunch on your day off. Zero Sympathy.

There's no talk of medical facilities, practice facilities (which have recently been improved). or quality of life in the off-season. 

It's simply a news piece to generate the type of response you're providing. Sounds like the crowd that said Burrow would never come here.

My "agreement" is if the entire industry is better than you at something, you should probably improve at that. It doesn't matter how much the people make, if you're the worst, improve.

No matter how you feel about it personally, it doesn't change the fact that the Bengals are tied for the worst in the league at it. There's nobody worse. I don't understand why you're so hellbent on defending Mike Brown's pocket. I'm not even saying they need to be the best in the league at it, just aim for being league average. How is that such a big ask to not be grouped together with Dan Snyder? 

It's from 1,300 players, Bfine, so that's roughly 40 per team giving their opinion on their teams. It's not just a news piece.

Talk about sounding like a crowd. People defending Mike Brown's pocketbook from having to change being ranked the worst at something sounds like the crowd who said "Sign free agents? How'd that work out for the Browns? You want to be them?" every time people pushed for actually participating in FA. (Or moving on from Marvin Lewis, for that matter.) Sure enough, actually participate in FA like you're a real NFL franchise and you go to a SB. 

Probably also said that you worked outside in the elements, so why can't players work outside? They don't need an indoor practice facility like every single other NFL team in the North.

Almost like there's some merit in making your organization not be run as one of the cheapest in the league and continuing to push for improvement towards being a first class organization.
