I would absolutely love for someone to put him on the spot someday and ask him if the team was such a mess how a rookie 2nd round QB came in and went to the playoffs 5 straight years. That wouldn’t fit his narrative that we were one of the worst run teams though...

And if you don’t think the media does in fact have an anti-Bengals bias after the past few months I don’t even know what to say.

The fact that we have to look back a decade to point to five straight one-and-dones as proof that we are a relevant franchise could be seen as evidence enough that Mike Brown isn't the hardest-working owner in sports.

We blew up in the playoffs over and over and Palmer blew up in the NFC championship game.  The fact that this is some sort of rivalry when there are fanbases that can argue which of their SB-winning QBs is best is telling.

And the media doesn't like the Bengals because we spent the majority of the past 30 years being crappy and/or boring.  When we do stuff they'll change their tune.  Asking the media to slobber over a 2-14 team like us is a bit much.  If we win, they will praise us.  If you would have told anyone in the early 90s that the New England Patriots, New Orleans Saints, and Seattle Seahawks would be media darlings in the new millennium they would have laughed at you.

You have to win before the media takes notice.  If you want people to slobber over you before you've done anything then the 2019 Browns may be more your speed.
