That's the thing...marketing has been big and required since Paul Brown was working woth Otto in Cleveland.  We've had our resurgence since the mid 2000s bit we're just getting on this stuff now.  It's easy to picture Mike Brown looking at his great niece or whatever she is to him at in grade school while we are exiting the dark 90s and thinking "when she's older she can market this team."

It's like an amusing sort of royal family thing.  That's the hyperbolic view though.  I can just see why people roll their eyes at the overall concept.
