Mike Brown: The Enigma Behind the Cincinnati Bengals

Untraditional Ownership, Consistent Results

Mike Brown, the current owner and general manager of the Cincinnati Bengals since 1991, has taken an untraditional approach to running his team. While many NFL owners are wealthy outsiders bringing their business acumen to football, Brown grew up with the Bengals and has a deep understanding of the game.

A Reviled Owner with a Winning Team

Despite his unique ownership style, Brown has led the Bengals to consistent success. The team has made the playoffs 16 times under his leadership, including a berth in the Super Bowl this year. However, Brown's aversion to spending big money on free agents has earned him a reputation as a penny-pincher among fans and critics.

"We're Here to Win" - Brown

Despite the criticism, Brown remains confident in his team's ability to win the Super Bowl. In a recent interview, the 87-year-old owner stated, "We're here to win. We have the talent, we have the coaching, and we have the determination. We're going to give it our all, and I believe we can bring the trophy back to Cincinnati."
