WhoDeyRevolution: StripeHype (+50) vs. Who Dey Revolution

Who Dey Revolution Manifesto

Preamble
IN THIS TIME of perpetual Cincinnati Bengals incompetence and futility, with zero playoff wins in the seventeen seasons since the WhoDeyRevolution Godfather, Paul Brown, passed away in 1991 and handed the team to his fortunate son, the Despot, Mike Brown;

Introduction

WE, the members of the Who Dey Revolution, in our fervent dedication to the Cincinnati Bengals and fanatical desire to transform our hometown team into perpetual Super Bowl contenders, call for a popular revolution of fans to demand comprehensive reform to the managerial decisions and approach of Cincinnati Bengals ownership, management, staff and players, and hereby call for the adoption of the following Who Dey Revolution Manifesto:

Manifesto Demands

THAT the Mike Brown, Katie Blackburn, Marvin Lewis, along with every other member of the Bengals management, staff and personnel, state publicly to all Bengals fans, “I will do everything in my power to help the Cincinnati Bengals win a Super Bowl;”

THAT Mike Brown will hire a general manager, drastically expand the scouting department and relinquish all control of player personnel;

THAT all training, rehabilitation and medical facilities are considered best-in-class compared to other NFL teams;

THAT the management fill the team only with players who fit the system, both mentally and physically, and are not reluctant to makes changes to player personnel when needed, regardless of cost or loyalty concerns;

THAT offensive and defensive line depth is considered the top priority for all player personnel decisions;

THAT all decisions made by ownership, management, staff and players, both on and off the field, are judged only by this criterion: “Does this help the Cincinnati Bengals win a Super Bowl?”

StripeHype (+50) vs. Who Dey Revolution

Please remind us to take our friends at StripeHype to Las Vegas for a crash course in Sports Betting 101...as they report the Bengals are very early one point favorites against the Ravens in Week 1. Here is their post:

The Bengals are 1-point road favorites against Baltimore in week 1.

Stripe Hype references this article from profootballweekly.com, where the line is listed as:

Cincinnati (+1 / 42) at Baltimore

Now, clearly this means the Bengals are one point underdogs in Week 1, even with the possibility of the Ravens starting Smilin' Joe Flacco starting over Kyle Boller or Troy Smith.

If StripeHype is interested, we'd be happy to take Texas and the points if this is the opening line on Week 1 of the college football season: Florida Atlantic (+45) vs. Texas.

Here at Who Dey Revolution...we know our sports, we know the Bengals, and we damn well know our sports betting.
