Pete Brown, Mike’s brother, along with former Bengals strength coach Kim Wood founded Hammer Strength which made elite weight machines. Pete being the money man. They were the ones to get the first Nautilus and Hammer Strength machines into virtually every professional, college, and high school conditioning room. The company sold for over $100,000,000. Now the question is where did that money go when Pete died? He had no spouse or children so was his heir his brother, his 6 nieces and nephews, or some combination.

And talking about inheritances, do we know how much of the team was left to Robin Brown’s 4 children?

I'm still hopeful Burrow may perhaps take a team friendly deal of sorts to keep his guys around him. But we shall see. So far we certainly can't say he hasn't deserved a huge contract. I just don't want to end up like the teams that are semi competitive with a great QB, but can't build a good enough team around them to win anything meaningful.

It's a team owned tablet. They can install keystroke trackers on it or any myriad of trackers to see where he was, how long  he was there, etc. If that stupid sob can't be bothered to spend 30 minutes a day watching film for the amount of money he is being paid, he needs to just quit wasting oxygen. He has all the natural talent in the world, but ran like a deer in the headlights when he made the playoffs last year. I half expected him to cry and leave the field in the middle of the game he looked so bewildered. He is the only QB in NFL history to need this clause put in his contract.

I'd love to hear JoeyB's response to a question about how many hours per week he puts in on film study.

According to Pat MacAfee, Peyton Manning spent an average of 20 hours each week on film

It is not work to them.

It is like someone who plays a musical instrument at a high level.  They enjoy doing it so "practice" is not a drudge.
