Bengals saddled taxpayers with raw deal

This team should be contracted.

Wow... what a raw deal, stuck with high taxes and the Bengals

The Bengals have been giving their fans a raw deal for years, so why nont throw in the taxpayers as well?

this whole storey is a raw deal, some T&R Intern has to much time on his hands to be writing this stuff and not a real football story

Your post made me spit out my coffee!! Thanks for the laugh

All would probably be forgiven if the Bengals were capable of fielding a competitive team.



They are not...

The raw deal is that the team is run by a bunch of incompetents.

This just goes to show you that Americans would rather be entertained than focus on their own well being.

It makes me sick to think that a private organization could handcuff the public, most of which can't afford to go to the games, into paying for a new stadium. There needs to be a law that states any professional team that wants to build a new stadium has to do so with their own funds and leave the tax payers out of it.

The only way this org becomes capable is getting ride of Mike Brown. And since he owns the team and is the GM I would say that its going to be a cold day in hell when that happens.

sometimes that scenario works...sometimes not. I feel your pain on the owner/gm nonsense.

This is why my suggestion that the NFL should be ordered by the court to take $1 billion a year off the top of their 9.5 billion and spend it on new stadiums and their upkeep. Every 32 years a team gets a new stadium, unless Minnesota's roof caves in.

Nothing new here, and now Wilf wants to put it to the Minnesota tax payers, and all in the name of doing them a favor. You would think before you ever get one dime of public money that your " Business " would have to show you their books. Nah! that must be kept secret or the whole lie falls apart.

Bengals saddled taxpayers with raw deal.... saddled and raw in the same sentence with the Bengals is just funny to me. Isn't this city used to this by now? I feel for you Bengals fans.

That is kind of like the plan, but that billion the owners want to come out of the money that was dedicated to player salaries. And there is the rub of it all as far as the NFLPA ( not that they exist anymore ) is concerned.

Better them than us...oh wait a second.........
