Joe Burrow endorsed by Boomer!

I've been firmly convinced that Mike Brown and his entire family took a deal at some point to be the preeminent league doormat. They were allowed to be kind of good a few years, but got too close and his masters had to remind him of the deal. The Browns probably took a similar deal as did a few other teams like the Dolphins .. They're perennial losers by design and are well compensated for it.
Can anyone tell us how teams like the bengals and browns can still pay multimillion dollar salaries being so bad? In any other business model they would have long been bankrupted and out of business, but the NFL and other sports leagues are structured to get rich by being run into the ground year after year after year. It would be the equivalent to the best auto makers paying inferior auto makers to remain inferior forever. Sure, a few buyers will always buy the inferior brand because they're cheap, but they'll always want the much better brand of automobile. The bengals, browns and fins are the dollar general of the NFL. They're everywhere and prices are cheap, but you always know what you're going to get, overpriced crap and easy to find on nearly every corner.
