We could go winless the rest of the way

Look at the team's record with him as owner/GM. This is nothing new. The real question is why should he care? After all, the NFL shares profit. 16-0, 0-16, and everywhere in between doesn't matter because Mike Brown will still make money. There's absolutely zero incentive for him to change the way he does things. Empty stadium, lack of discipline, coaches and players giving up has no impact on the fact that the Brown family will still rake in millions.

While Mike Brown is the football equivalent of Forrest Gump at best, he is a brilliant businessman. He owns a team in a business that he cannot fail in. The millions will continue to roll into his and his family's bank accounts so long as they own the team. The product on the field, merchandise sales, tickets sales, seating licenses, none of that matters. He will still get a piece of billions of dollars of revenue and turn a profit. That's why things always stay the same. That's why he can be so goddamned stubborn and want to do it his way. That's why fans of this franchise will continue to suffer. Regardless of the team's performance, Mike Brown just keeps getting richer.

Mike Brown does not own the Bengals from his own hard work or smart work or by being brilliant. He only owns it because his father was one of the best football minds ever. He inherited it and that doesn't take much in the way of brains.
