As for being cheap, you're really going to try to argue that Mike Brown is not the definition of the word? Some examples of his "frugality". The man takes business meetings at Wendy's. Prospective free agents are flown into town in coach seating. Television cables are available for rent during training camp. Thin, "cheap" towels that are not big enough to wrap around players in the locker room. Gatorade consumption is monitored. They are the only northern team who does not have an indoor practice facility. Many colleges and even some high schools have facilities which the Bengals do not. The man is beyond cheap.
Ok seriously, it's been hilarious for years but now I have to ask... Did Mike ever seriously have a business meeting at Wendy's? I honestly thought that was just an exaggerated joke said around the boards for several years. It's just seems to asinine to be true. Is it even possible for someone as wealthy as Mike Brown to be white trashy enough to conduct business meetings at a fast food restaurant?
When, with whom, and (most importantly) why did this take place?
