Why can't the Bengals do some of this

Because pictures are cheap and other teams do much more to honor former players?

Years ago I read a quote from the owner of a sports team (can't remember exactly who it was). He said that when you own a sports franchise, you can't view it strictly as a business. You also have a public duty to your community and fans. Mike Brown has the opposite attitude. The fans and city are a necessary annoyance to him.

Honestly I think Mike Brown's attitude is at least partly why we have so many jaded fans.

Only Anthony Munoz is deserving of any great recognition. His number isn't retired, but best believe nobody will ever wear 78 in a regular season game.

I have to strongly disagree. Not every player honored in team HOFs is a real HOFer and household name. Guys like Sean Casey are in the Reds HOF for Pete's sake. Team HOFs are meant to honor players who were important to the franchise and/or weren't quite great enough for the league's HOF. We have plenty of players who would fit that bill:

Kenny
Boomer
Wyche
Ickey
Chad 
Palmer
Housh
Corey
Fulcher
Leon
Curtis
Willie
Krumrie
Riley
etc etc

I don't think any true Bengals fan would have to Google these names. They deserve recognition and it would only help to build pride in our fanbase. I can't believe there's opposition to this, honestly. If we really have no players worth honoring, maybe Mikey should take down those posters he brags about.
