As I've told Fred in the past you can play devils advocate but when it's your full-time job it gets old super fast.

These past 2 years Fred has been one of the only people here to consistently remind others we've been a top half of the league franchise this decade. If you're going to complain about people being consistently negative and constantly complaining there's far more worthy choices.

Kevin Youkilis tweeted about the asking price once.... 

Serious note, there are a lot of Cincinnati based investment groups that would keep the team here. Starting with a group attached to Proctor and Gamble which with no matter how big that company is still headquartered in Cincinnati.

This city isn't so small that a new owner would immediately move it, not too mention they would certainly get another sweet stadium deal if they replaced the evil one as owner.

There's a term in the NBA called a "treadmill team" I think that fits the Bengals nicely.

I typically welcome all opinions but I can't in good faith call that man a Bengals fan.  When 95% of your posts are negative or arguing for the sake of arguing I'm not sure the value that brings to the board but I digress. 

I get it, trust me I do. Especially in moments like this where things are really going bad and you see a post that is almost troll level against things.

Just laugh it off and keep reading lol.

I'm not going to say Mike Brown is a good owner, because he certainly is not in any way. But it's not his fault we lost some of the play off games we did this decade. If we win even 1 or 2 of them how do people here view the franchise? That's not his fault. 

Hiring Taylor (and if he continues with him) is 100% on him and seem to be terrible decisions but that doesn't take away from what we accomplished (and could have accomplished) earlier this decade.

Bengals just spent $145 million on free agents this off season.

Over the previous decade Bengals are in the top half of the league in winning percentage and made the playoffs 5 times.

Sad how many Bengal fans live to play the victim.  Victim mentality is all the rage these days.

The team that hasn’t won a playoff game in 30 years and owns the longest streak of seasons without a playoff win in ALL OF PROFESSIONAL SPORTS.

All of professional sports or just North American sports? I'm sure there's some C-level soccer team in Googly-on-Magillicuddy that hasn't won the Sheepherder's Trophy since 1947 or some damn thing.

Make him sell it to the city. Then we can hire a GM for once.

Top tier US based pro sports. MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL, maybe MLS. The Cincinnati Cyclones (minor league hockey) won their league title a few years ago.

I have no clue how he calls himself a Bengals fan.

It’s useless. Everyone that quotes him will make his nonsense visible.

This is a joke of an unOrganization I expect the majestic and mighty Bengal tigers to file a lawsuit any moment for making them look bad.

[Older Than You Too]

Lol at the "over the last decade" argument. That view is so skewed. We win for Dalton's first five seasons then regress from bad to terrible the next five seasons. The real way to look at it is that we are already halfway through another lost decade.

No one cares what you vote. Half your posts are barely comprehensible.

If I had billions why would I give it to you exactly? I'd just hire strippers for every game and keep the rest of the money. Strippers work cheap compared to football players. I know..I married one..

Hey calm down according to Fred I should be proud we weren't the absolute worst franchise the last 10-15 years.

What an accomplishment! I wonder if they give out trophies for that sh**.

They would if they get to keep the sweetheart stadium deal.

To move they'd have to pay ~$500m in a relocation fee and then likely have to pay for building their own stadium (~$1-2b, or more depending on where they move to).

It'd more than double the price of buying the team if they moved it elsewhere. Meanwhile they could stay here on a highly favorable deal and just spend like $100m or so to spruce up the stadium.

[bjf123]

The taxpayers of Hamilton County will NEVER vote to spend another dime on a football stadium. Mike Brown has guaranteed that for the foreseeable future. The only way that changes is if the team suddenly starts winning multiple Super Bowls.
