Why Still Mike Brown ?

to extend him and keep him and Burrow happy and rolling.

It's also possible that they don't actually want to be the type of family that throws the patriarch into the trash so they can take over his billion-dollar business a few years ahead of the grim reaper's schedule.

I know as fans we are beyond sick of the Mike Brown way, but this is what happens with the "royal family" structure a business like the NFL operates under.  I never gleefully pulled the plug on any family member I've had, so I don't know what I'd do.  Hell, if my grandfather were 89 and had an ultra lucrative business he was going to hand over to me any day now, I'd just ride it out and play nice.  The guy can always write his conniving family out of his will can't he?  

Anyways, Mike Brown is a crappy owner and it's frustrating but I don't the team being owned by a family that would overthrow the guy is a guaranteed good thing, either.
