I thought her daughter Elizabeth was at least over some of that.

With that said, I agree that there have been improvements made in those areas you are talking about.
It's specifically the contract structures with players expecting a lot more guarantees that are starting to worry me.
It may be much ado about nothing though.

Yes, Elizabeth has led the charge on fan engagement, and it may have been her idea for the RoH, I can't remember (and why I gave her credit in my response to you). Without knowing the closely guarded details regarding Bengals hierarchy, I just have to assume she has played a big role in all of the recent changes because we do know she has pretty much been handed the reins. I'll be honest and admit I was very skeptical about her. I was worried she'd be Mikey 2.0, but that doesn't seem to be the case. 

If Mike was still calling every shot, I'm not sure the team gets a practice bubble, facilities renovation for players, the naming rights deal, the RoH, hell.... maybe not even Zac Taylor. Things have definitely changed for the better since she has taken on more and more responsibility for the club's operations.
