Cincinnati-the most interesting team in the world

[That Guy]

well, 2 things. first a skins fan shouldn't be talking about signing 1st round picks and busts... second, the clippers spent forever getting top 5 picks and making TONS of money while essentially struggling to win 1 game a season. winning and making money are seperate issues and not always that closely related.

drafting mike vick got 25k new season ticket holders inside a month for atlanta. it didn't matter if he or the team sucked horribly, the money was already made.

owners do get extra money from playoff games, but not really enough to merit maxing out the cap for a CHANCE to get there. bidwell and brown have always been cheap by choice, whereas green bay or the bills are a little more limited by cash costraints.

anyways, the short answer is probably because he's cheap and doesn't care. at one point (years ago) the bengals scouting was basically one guy from what i've heard.
