Maybe I'm using hindsight. Maybe when Paul Brown died and Mike Brown decided he was an owner and GM rolled into one people were like "Yeah, I bet he is!"
One thing that always sticks out to me is something I read in Paul Brown's biography.
Mike Brown went to visit his dad shorty before he died and wanted to talk to him about David Klingler. Paul told him to not pick Klingler because there was something about him that Paul didn't like. Obviously we know what happened there.
You can always trust an dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you have to look out for.
