They are way more popular outside their home market than the Bengals are outside of theirs.

The Packers and Patriots and Steelers are popular because they win football games.  If you want to argue that teams win and then become popular and gain fans and then become too big to fail and the NFL cheats for them, that is a different argument...one in which I can still get on Mike Brown for not putting a winning Bengals team on the field so we can get too big to fail.

If the NFL is biased towards certain teams (and it may very well be, that isn't central to my argument) then the real question is what does it take to join their ranks and why aren't we doing what it takes to earn that favor?
