I think there is a difference between cheap and money-grubbing. Mike Brown cuts corners and runs a franchise in a manner that is behind the eight ball compared to his peers, but he will forgo extra money in order to keep his father's name on the stadium. They aren't one in the same, but I'll admit this move on his part does show some character on his part.
Speaking of cheap, when I went to Cincy for the first and only time in 2014 to attend a Bengals game the crap-o motel I stayed at had a printout of landmarks to visit and it had CINERGY FIELD on it. Lordy!
I'm trying to think of a way to compare the PBS naming to my own life. Let's see....I"m cheap, I buy generic stuff, I don't like to spend money etc. but if someone offered me X amount of dollars (something comparable to my equity vs Mike Brown's) to put an advertisement for Doritos on my father's grave I'd probably say no....probably.
