The Bengals are a completely insane organization that flourish financially only because of the ridiculous television money NFL has commanded in the past.
If the profits depended on local support and ticket holders, Marvin would have been fired several times in the past.
why people would buy season tickets next year is beyond me. They do not care about the local fan base- at all.
I do think the Brown family is planning an exit strategy from Cincinnati and I have no doubt that the potential of selling has been discussed within the family as one of their long term strategic options.
If a deal to sell now was really being discussed with a third party, there would be some rumor on the street.
I think the first time an NFL team sells for significantly less than expected, Mikey Boy would sell in a heartbeat. Rats know how to abandon a sinking ship.
I can't see how the team is here once the current lease expires. The county hates the team, the voters would never vote to give the team a dime and the team doesn't care about fans or championships. Not exactly the basis for a healthy relationship
It's a shame the county can't just give PBS to FC Cincinnati and make the Bengals secondary tenants or tell them to just go away
