CINCINNATI IS A LUCKY TOWN

He didn't just 'threaten' to move to Baltimore, he actually met with their officials on a couple different occasions prior to the PBS deal getting agreed on. It's not like he stayed out of loyalty to the fans, or the city. He stayed because he got one of the most lopsided stadium deals in history. If that hadn't of happened, we'd probably be talking about the Baltimore Bengals.

To the OP's point, it is great that we still have our football team, but it's Hamilton county and the taxpayers that deserve the credit. They deserve a huge thank you!

Sure he made a good deal at same time, he could have just left for better pastures..... St Louis had a good deal on the table and their owner could care less.. has not really did anything for the last few years.. he was determined to leave like many others also.

Did you ever think the Browns were not benefiting like other teams when we played at Riverfront Stadium ?  

I still will praise the Browns just as i praised elected officials and taxpayers like me.

Lets feel good about our city and the ability to keep two teams in this small city.
