Is Mike Brown The Worst Owner In Professional Football?
That’s what many NFL commentators and fans are saying. Some are even going as far as to say that he’s the worst owner in professional American sports period. He’s one in a simultaneously short and long list of owners who micromanage every aspect of the team, not allowing coaches and general managers to do their jobs. Even worse is the fact that these owners never seem to see how much damage they do to their teams and their team’s reputation. This method does not translate into a winning record either. Despite getting a new stadium for the Bengals, he still won’t pay for a decent scouting operation or any good players. He doesn’t allow his coach or general manager to make decisions and he has all the control of draft picks. Most glaring is probably the fact that the team is not winning and the good players keep leaving. He has continually tried to stand up as a lone figure against salary amounts and increases in the NFL, which has really just resulted in the Bengals not getting any good talent. Bengals fans dislike him so much that they’ve organized websites dedicated to disliking him.
