In fact, I kind of like him. He gets railed for being "cheap" but that's how he stays rich. He constantly votes in favor of what is good for the Bengals and not good for the league, often times being the only opposing vote in owner's meetings. But mostly, he is true to Cincinnati and would never move the team to a more profitable city. I can't think of another owner who would not have packed their bags and taken the team elsewhere in the 90's when the stadium was 3/4s empty for every game. Sure, he was putting a crappy product on the field, but so were a lot of other owners. When they couldn't sell tickets, they sold and moved the team. MB did not, and he deserves some thanks for that.If we wipe away all the hog wash, it comes down to one thing only. Why not pay Chase ? It is on this that most of NFL finds a mystery. Also most NFL owners are saying they will be glad to sign and pay Chase for their NFL teams.
