Unless you believe he was lying about the Bengals sucking as an organization back then. Anywho, I'm all about respecting the organization...when that organization has earned the respect. Mike and the Bengals had not. 

Bad businesses are hindered by yes-men. Sometimes it takes a few cold buckets of water to bring about change. As a Bengals fan, I'll always be thankful to those who tried to bring about that change, as I prefer to see my team win. I'm a Bengals fan...not a Mike Brown fan.

Think of it like this. Say a high ranking guy at Enron saw the corruption and decided to bail on the company. Was that guy a "quitter"? Or should he be commended for not sticking it out with a corrupt company?

Yeah, you know what I meant lol. My bad. He could of easily gave them that bucket of cold-water by not signing the contract. He knew full well the history of the team with MB. You don't think if he would of said "**** you" when negotiating they wouldn't of got the message across? 

Bengals may be a team that isn't 100% serious about winning, but they are not chop liver that isn't shit, either. There's has to be some sort of respect, or again, why did he sign that contract? Same with the Enron guy. If he knew the CEO was a *******, why did he go work for him?
