There is a SALARY CAP and REVENUE SHARING that puts every team on the same level regardless of any other circumstances. What is it about that you don't understand??? Please enlighten us on how an owner's net worth translates into putting a more competitive product on the field. I'll wait...

He does somewhat have a point in that the Bengals are the Brown families sole source of income where they keep costs low to reap more profit.

A guy like Robert Kraft and a lot of owners made their Billions in other industries and view their team as status and prestige and want to win Championships.

That said, the Bengals actually had some $50 million in cap space this year. They spent a decent amount of money...just not on quality players. So they were willing to spend, they just didn't sign the right people.
