Here is some of the Silver article:
[Brown's] the 21st century’s answer to a Communist Party bigwig in the Soviet Union’s heyday – gaming a system steeped in shared revenues for his own benefit while setting new standards among his peers for brazen laziness.I don't know. I know there are quite a few Mike Brown haters out there. Silver doesn't do him any favors. But Brown doesn't seem that terrible to me. He's just overly frugal, to me, in a small shopowner sort of way.
When Saints owner Tom Benson asked for a waiver on club-seat revenues to help fund improvements at the Superdome – part of an admirable transformation that has pushed him away from his usual spot at or near the bottom of these rankings – Brown was the lone Grinch in the meeting room. “It’s a great American story, Tom Benson defying the skeptics and keeping the Saints in New Orleans, and [expletive] Mike Brown speaks out against it,” the same owner says. “Meanwhile, the guy has the best stadium deal ever. It was completely built for him and he has no operating expenses. He probably makes more money than any of us.”
Btw: I love/hate the whole Hard Knocks thing with the Bengals.
