The real reason is complacency. When an organization like ours leans on the side of loyalty instead of running it like a business, there is less accountability. Therefore, less fear of poor performance and decisions from everyone in the organization down to the mascot.

Which is actually odd given that the Bengals are all that Mike Brown has in terms of a business, unlike most owners.
You would think he would strive even more to put the best product on the field week after week given this team is his only source of income.
