Michael "Mike" Brown (born August 10, 1935) is the owner of the Cincinnati Bengals, an American football team in the National Football League. He is the son of former Cleveland Browns, Ohio State University and Cincinnati Bengals coach/co-founder, Paul Brown. Brown's ownership has been criticized for a lack of on-field success, his refusal to cede football operations to a general manager and the team's relationship with Hamilton County before and after a voter-approved tax increase to fund Paul Brown Stadium. ==Before Bengals ownership== Brown is one of two living sons〔http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1915&dat=19780725&id=WwsiAAAAIBAJ&sjid=DHMFAAAAIBAJ&pg=4159,4445458〕 of Paul Brown. His brother, Pete, is currently the Senior Vice-President of Bengals' player personnel.〔http://www.bengals.com/team/staff-directory.html〕 His older brother, Robin, died of cancer in 1978.〔 Brown graduated from Dartmouth College in 1957, where he played quarterback for their football team, and from Harvard Law School in 1959.〔Longman, Jere, 2002, October 24. Bengals Reach the Bottom, And They Keep Getting Worse, ''The New York Times'', D1〕 In an unusual meeting between future sports owners, eventual New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner hired him to a summer job as a deck hand for Kinsman Marine Transit Company.〔http://www.bengals.com/news/article-1/Brown-remembers-The-Boss/83264b98-bff0-4242-9e9c-147497c49d47#〕 Brown eventually followed his father into football management. Paul Brown founded the Bengals, then an American Football League team, in 1968. (This was several years after Paul Brown was dismissed as Cleveland Browns head coach in a well-publicized falling out with Art Modell.) Mike Brown began his executive duties with the Bengals as assistant general manager. Along with personnel decisions, he was a spokesman for the team on issues of league rules and team policy.〔Daly, Dan, 1990, August 10, Speaking of money, why not just stop, ''The Washington Times,'' D1.〕〔Dodd, Mike, 1990, November 8, Unblinking eye spies on NFL refs; Is replay use counterproductive?, ''USA Today,'' 8C.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mike Brown (Cincinnati Bengals owner)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
