Breaking News:Bengals trade Ocho Cinco

[Tim_T]

Elwood, your stats are wrong on Marvin Lewis, he has two division titles which led to two playoff appearances. I don't lay the blame at all on Marvin because of what he has had to deal with since he has been there. They need to let him be GM too and then I bet things wouldn't be so crazy in the front office. IMO Marvin Lewis might be one of the best coaches in the NFL. I mean, if you can take the Benglas to the playoffs twice in four years, just imagine what you could do with an NFL team.

Edited to add:

Marge Schott was the owner when the Reds last won the World Series.

You are correct about the 2 playoff appearances for Lewis. KATIE BAR THE DOOR, with 2 playoff appearances, TWO-2-TWO, we have DOUBLED the number of playoff teams Mike Brown has put together, YIPPEA WHOOHOO. He is still the worst owner in the NFL. As far as Marge goes, I was considering all the crazy and stupid comments she made as owner. These comments downgraded what success the team had over the 15-20 years she was in charge. You take the good with the bad and hope the good comes out enough to overshadow the bad but in the BUNGALS case bad + bad = BAD

Don't misuderstand, I think Brown is the worst owner ever, I was more defending Marvin Lewis. I think Marvin Lewis has done a good job considering what he has to ddeal with. If you put Marv in Lewis somewhere that he had a chance to succeed he would probably win a ring or two.
