Talk About Overpaid: Mike Brown Paid More Than Dan Rooney -- NFL FanHouse (http://nfl.fanhouse.com/2009/07/09/talk-about-overpaid-mike-brown-paid-more-than-dan-rooney/)

I wonder what percentage of income it is that Mike Brown is keeping. I would like to see a league wide comparison as well.

Mike Brown is, arguably, the worst owner in pro sports. But in a way I don't blame him. He was thrust upon the role because of his great father. He just doesn't have the skills to be the owner/general manager/head scout that he has made himself. But he doesn't seem to want to release the team from family control either.

Well apparently they're not paid on knowledge because they all make more than I do. :)

I am not defending him because, as you indicate, he is a terrible owner. But why give up a situation that is such a cash cow for the whole family regardless of the quality of the team? His father cared about football; he only seems to care about money.
