The NY spotlight? Primetime Marv? He'll melt, just be a puddle right there on MNF.

You do know ol'Merv was voted loudest clapper in 1st grade!
When I read this, I had the same thought. Why start now?? Then I thought maybe Merv didn't have as much control as we thought?
I know, I know. But all the good ones were taken.
Next !

Bigger the market (typically) the bigger the pressure.
Marvin was mediocre in a small market with a ton of support from fans and management for several years. He took a slow and steady approach and nobody really got too upset about it until the last few years.
Big markets, it's like dog years. Whoever goes to NY will be expected to have them competing for a SB within two years. Marvin hasn't accomplished that in his entire career.

I normally read and don’t post because everything had been said beforehand. I just went to a few threads and replied to the name of it quickly w/ out reading anything. Actually felt good. Don’t hate

I dunno what he's talking about. I read the article....got so pissed off at Merv's smug arrogance, I wanted to post a sarcastic funny to take my, and others', mind off this dumbass.
Now that he's out of the picture, we're on to Son of Paul.

Yeah.....he'd LITERALLY shit down his leg and into his shoes in NYC. I don't think even their management team is that stupid.
Ya never know though ......

When asked about looking into where the report originated Marvin said, “I don’t need to investigate anything...it’s a waste of time. If there were things that were...again..just let it go”. #Bengals

This should be labeled the "Sure" press conference. From what a lot of the reporters said, all he was replying with was, "Sure."

Okay, let's not gloss over this little or maybe not so little tidbit--
"If there things that were..."
If there were things that were different? If there were things that were changed? If there were things that were better?
Is this the 2010 thing all over again, where Marv has concessions he wants?
