It was hard watching games on TV about week 8, and some broadcaster would still bring up Mixon and his past. It's as if we hadn't heard about it the previous 7 weeks....
Mixon seems to be walking the line and staying out of trouble. Hopefully grows up & learns from it. I think he will.
The fact that the Bengals (Mike Brown) drafted Mixon did not surprise many Nationally which has me thinking that the "thug" image is attached to Mike & Marvin as being decision makers that will take players that other teams won't take.
This image hangs on them in a sense. It sticks to Mike and Marvin. So just releasing say Pac Man won't change it.
It may take a New Owner and New Head Coach to detach the Bengal name from this image.
