The comments on Mike Brown’s brief, humble AFC Championship speech have been nearly universally positive — even on YouTube whose comments sections are not known for positivity.
Fans of other teams came to respect Mikey Boy as a gracious gentleman which, if you’ve ever met him, you know he is.
I’ll take Mike Brown, ancient baseball cap and all, over the Falcons’ barely sane Arthur Blank, that arrogant blowhole Jerry Jones in Dallas, or Robert “Rub and Tug” Kraft in New England. Compared to those jerks he’s a saint.
Those of us who follow the Bengals closely know Mike has been cheap and stubborn but that’s in the past. Let’s celebrate our playoff success and congratulate Mike because this is the first successful playoff run he’s accomplished since his father Paul passed away.
Besides, Mikey Boy is all about protecting Joe Burrow now. Free agency is going to be fun.
"Stubborn and cheap in the past" - he has been criminally inept in the past.
He may be a better guy than Blank, Jones, and Kraft; he is still by far the worst owner in modern league history as to providing resources to help his team win. Never had a GM, tiniest scouting dept, 2.2 acre goat pasture practice field under a highway bridge, etc.
I am grateful Mike kept the club in Cincy, I am grateful Mike turned much of the operation over to Katie. I'd be more grateful if he gave up total control, especially in the draft.
