The Reds have changed ownership and management several times since Mikey boy took over and have been in several post season games and even won a championship. Think about teams like Chicago for example that remained out of the post season and especially the WS FAR longer than anyone else. Boston lived through the curse of the Bambino way to long and it really took BIG MONEY for either team to find success. While the Reds have had their fair share of failure several other baseball franchises have had it much worse for far longer.
The Bengals are cursed with Mike Brown and Mike Brown alone.
The Reds on the other hand are cursed with the lack of money in comparison with many larger cities along with some very poor decision making in the past few decades..
With the Bengals it's been all Mike Brown.
That said I still believe that all pro sports are fixed probably far more than anyone wants to admit.
The Reds last championship was the year before Mike took over control of the Bengals...
