"The 2010 season was of course a huge disappointment, and all of us in the organization must share the blame. We believed that we had strengthened ourselves since our 2009 division championship, with key new ingredients and not many pieces lost. But the year reminded us that every season is a new enterprise, and our 2010 pieces obviously were not close to coming together.

"But I will not apologize for our overall performance under Marvin Lewis. Under him we are among a minority of teams (14 of 32) to win two division titles in the last six years. You may scoff, and no one here would deny that we are long overdue for postseason success, but I still believe this means something toward a realistic forecast for 2011 and beyond. We are not a team devoid of talent, and I believe that continuity with Marvin as head coach offers the best chance to bring us back to and beyond our division championship level of 2009"

This was actually a response to a fan letter, and here's a picture of the letter Mike sent:

I'm sure I could find several similar quotes if I dig more.

Shake, will you please tell me how to include a scanned (jpg) copy of Mike Brown's letter like you did here? I have tried to copy and paste but it doesn't stick to my reply. Thanks, Derrick
