Spot on Sunset !

Mike Brown:  Ok, well I'll make it even easier on you and never hire a GM, I'll keep bad and mediocre coaches way too long, I'll bet the farm on Akili Smith, I'll drive Sam Wyche and Boomer Esiason out of town AND if we ever get a coach who can't beat the Steelers I'll give him a lifetime contract.  Hell, I'll even never build an indoor practice facility just to hedge my bets!


All joking aside, if the NFL is trying to keep the Bengals down then Mike Brown is in on the fix.

Ain't no doubt, Mike is the NFL's inside contact

Completely inexcusable and should have resulted in Marvin being fired no later than the 2015 playoff  meltdown.

We will almost certainly lose two games to Steelers this year and probably a third loss if we make the playoffs and play them in first round wild card game.

If we do not lose to the Steelers in the playoffs we will lose to Houston.

Would Urban Meyer or any other coach at OSU still be there with a 2-14 home record against Michigan. Fact of the matter is no other NFL team or any major college team would still have a coach with Marvin's record against main rival or bowl/playoff record.

Any Marvin defenders out there- if any are left- cannot come close to naming a similar situation.

I hope you're wrong about the Steelers this season ! But agree with most of the rest.

That's what kills me the most Harley. Down in the middle of the scrum stuff is gonna get missed on occasion. But I couldn't tell you how many times I've seen Geno's or Carlos's jersey stretched out 3 feet right out in the open, right in front of a ref, and no flag is thrown !

It's pathetic
