You're entitled to your take on Mixon. Everyone is.
Now you're trying to re-write history. Mike Brown "the redeemer" was all about the reclamation projects and said as much.
Quote:At one point during the run of arrests, Brown referred to himself as a "redeemer." He said he's now taking an approach more like his father, franchise founder Paul Brown, who didn't put up with bad conduct.
"The thing I do regret is how it came to make us, or put on us an image that I don't think was ever anything but a very small part of what we were and sometimes not a part at all," Brown said. "But if you want to blame somebody for it, blame me.
"In recent years, I've tried to go the other way. I've just thought it's too heavy a price to pay and we were going to go back to square one and bring in here guys that were sound people."
He recognized that the team still has a way to go to shed its reputation. That's part of why he signed on for another "Hard Knocks" series.
"It takes time to get a unit of guys that are solid people, and it takes longer than that to make the public see you in that light," he said.
