But then again maybe this humanizes us, and helps us remember no matter how high we get on the team emotionally, the front office still has to take care of business

The media and fans opinions are useless on business issues.  The Bengals offered Jesse what they think he's worth.  The FO has been very good of late with player valuation.  Bates will show up the last week of camp, get up to speed and play in the first game.  It's business.  The FO and players get that it is business.  The media and fans clearly do not.

I frankly do not give one happy shyt what the media thinks, and neither should you.
