07:53 AM ET 06.16 | Maybe it goes down easier to read you finished 122nd in a ranking of pro sports teams, which is where the Bengals landed among all NFL, NBA, NHL and Major League Baseball teams. For the past 20 years, there has been little reward for being a Bengals fan. Recently, we interviewed one Cincinnati fan who grew tired of the losing and gave up his allegiance to join Steeler Nation. Another more famous Bengals fan, Nick Lachey, also expressed his displeasure with the organization to the AFC North blog. Cincinnati hasn't won a playoff game in two decades, doesn't put enough money into its product and ownership continues to make head-scratching decisions. The Bengals' franchise player -- quarterback Carson Palmer -- recently quit on the team, which only adds to its awful reputation.

If Mike Brown wants to know why this is, he only needs to look in the mirror.

If Nick Lachey says so, it must be dripping with street cred. Any team that fields a clown show with Ocho Boingo and TO isn't exactly asking to be taken very seriously.

A technique that would not work for Al Davis.

So much for being a business. Ends that argument. When you are the worst at what you do and not only continue to exist, but make huge profits then you are not a business.

But as long as Mike Brown's amused, that's all that matters, right?

I think their helmets were a deciding factor. A real Tie Breaker.

The Bengals have the worst owner by far, but I don't think they are the worst team in all of pro sports, The Redskins are 1 spot ahead of the Bengals....
