Hell, the company that I work for allows us to work fully remote and takes us on two vacations per year - a fishing trip in Arkansas and somewhere international (usually Canada, Mexico or somewhere tropical). If I were to leave and go somewhere else, these perks would undoubtedly be gone. If I was tasked with giving a report card, I would also probably rate that new company low in those categories.
This is also another thing. Do we know that they are actually whining? You keep saying that but from everything I have read, you are just making an assumption. The players have voiced their desire for these things, but that doesn't mean they are actually complaining. There's a big difference between...
"Yeah, it'd be cool if the Bengals offered all three meals every day. I'd like to see that at some point. I know most other teams do that."
Versus
"I think it's ridiculous that the Bengals don't offer us every meal, every day, man. I don't know what they are doing, but it is ridiculous that this one of the only teams that doesn't."
Keep in mind, they are being prompted by a survey to provide their thoughts. They aren't just going out and voicing them.
This reminds me of the scene in Money Ball where David Justice (traded from the Yankees to the As) tries to use the soda vending machine in the As clubhouse. He can't figure out how to get it to work and then realizes he actually has to pay for the soda.
He really wasn't upset; it was more so just eye opening to him. He mentioned it to Billy Beane (As GM) and when Billy Beane is negotiating a trade later in the movie regarding one of his players, he wants the other team to throw in "stocking his soda machine for a year" with the player hes trading away.
Always found that funny and it actually reminds me of stories from the 90s Bengals players - how they had to bring their own towels for the showers, own gatorade, etc.
The boys are just talkin' ball, babyyyy

I'll just say this amd then leave it alone. Players would do well to listen to what MJ said when he came back from 1 year at Tampa Bay.

I suggest the add charging station by the shitters. They can charge, learn and crap for productivity.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.

Hope they sent to Canada for the Thunderflush 5000's. Low-flow toilets suck.

They didn’t need to make it that incredible. But they did so kudos to the Browns/Blackburns they way did above and beyond.
Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.

I LOVE the fact that they went all-out!
It's like Katie and Troy are the opposite of Mike Brown and, instead of doing the minimum, they do the maximum!
I wonder what all it has that we couldn't see in that video? TVs? Gaming systems?
I LOVE THIS FRANCHISE!

Nicely done!
Note they are going a space at a time and doing full rips and rebuilds instead of smaller refurbishments. It's letting them bring each space fully up to date.
