A 20+ minute analysis of why a global sports network doesn't slurp a small market team that hasn't had a winning season in 4 years? It haint rocket science.
If Burrow gets us a SB or six I assure you ESPN won't be like "Someone won the SB but we are going to talk about the Cowboys equipment manger instead."
Plus after the 2019 flop youd think a Browns fan woyld be afraid of media focus and love.

I see clips of Bengals games all the time on NFL Network and ESPN...Its just usually highlights of other teams stomping them.

My thoughts on the ownership of the Bengals has zero to do with ESPN as I refuse to watch that crap. It isn’t so much that Mike is cheap, even though he is with everything outside of meeting requirements established by the league. The problems are that he will overpay bums already on his teams because it’s easier than doing the legwork to bring in outside, top free agents to balance his teams. He’s usually way late on cutting ties with crappy or mediocre players and has refused to talk to outside free agents until 3 or 4 days in and after the best players are long gone. There are some good things about the organization but I definitely wouldn’t call it a good organization.
