Its unfortunate that Mike Brown is only worried about the cash in his pocket when Art Rooney continues to put trophies in his office.

Getting lucky and finishing first in the division twice in the last 8 seasons isn't exactly a history success when they follow those years with less than 6 wins. Even a blind squirell....or something like that.

Does reading comprehension escape you? Seriously man...

That should about bring you up to speed. Now you can get back to constructing strawmen...
