Oh For The Love Of God, Get This Right Mike!

Almost every team looks at internal candidates, so I don't really think we can read too much into this.

I don't think the Bengals are planning on taxpayer money for a new stadium, as that's no longer the norm around the league like it was when PBS was built.  Katie has said that PBS will be adequate for another 20-30 years and the team recently paid for renovations that the county is obligated to pay for in the lease agreement.  And Jesus, look how long it took Mike to can Marv.  Who really thinks he has it in him to move the team?

fair points but the Colts and Ravens are much different teams than when we played them.

And if the franchise continues to deteriorate, they will easily be convinced to move some where with a new stadium, tax incentives etc. just like Model did the unthinkable and move the Browns.
