What if Cincinnati bought the Bengals from the Brown family?

The Green Bay Packers are owned by a non-profit organization. I figure that a committee from City Council could do a better job than Mike Brown, and it could possibly reduce our $50 Million deficit. We could find someone to run it who defines success as "winning" and not "making a profit." The NFL guarantees that whoever owns a franchise makes money. It is probably pejorative to label that as socialist.

Cincinnati has had Mike Brown, Dave Shula and Pete Rose Jr. We have proved that the ability to manage, coach or play professional sports is not necessarily genetically transmitted.

How much do you figure he would ask for the goose that lays golden eggs? Who would put up that money?

At least we could vote out the committee from City Council. Could they pass a law that would prevent Chad Johnson from sharing his fantasies with anyone other than licensed professional therapists?

Hmm... John Pepper was one of Procter & Gamble's best CEOs. His son, David Pepper, was on Cincinnati's City Council. What exactly are you implying here? ;-)

I live in Cincinnati. Given the recent history of the City Council, do you REALLY think they could handle a sports team as well? Maybe they could work the Bengals into the current streetcar plan? ;-p

a committee from city council? sorry, but that would really get screwed up.
