Mike Brown should change his name to William Crush as in the railroad executive who thought it was a great idea to charge people admission to watch two locomotives collide .
True story 

Quote:Locomotives wear out and have to be scrapped. In 1896, the appropriately-named William Crush, vice president of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad, came up with a more entertaining and lucrative way of disposing of old locomotives - charge people admission to see a head-on collision. Unfortunately, he underestimated the power of the explosion when the boilers burst. Two (some estimates are higher) spectators were killed, many injured, and the railroad was in litigation for years. Never again would a railroad stage a train wreck.

Watching the event was farmer Joseph Connolly, who saw a potential for a tremendous spectacle if it was done properly. He plowed most of his savings into the attempt and submitted his idea to the Iowa State Fair, who at first were horrified and turned him down. Connolly finally prevailed by assuming all the risks and liability. The event drew 35,000 spectators and was a complete success. From that day on, Connolly was known as "Head-on Joe." Over the years, his wrecks got more spectacular; he took to dousing railroad cars with kerosene to make a more spectacular crash. His last wreck was in 1932, involving two locomotives nicknamed "Hoover" and "Roosevelt." In 36 years he staged 73 wrecks using, predictably, 146 locomotives. He earned over a million dollars, had millions of spectators, and not a single spectator injury.

The Bengals could charge admission to watch them crash and burn instead of attempting to win games. Bengals D vs O and see who makes the biggest explosion or perhaps the most gruesome injuries if they could find willing participants.. It would probably be much more entertaining than watching actual football games..
