While the\u00a0NFLPA\u2019s report card of the Patriots<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0was certainly disappointing, it\u2019s hard not to look at what\u2019s going on in Cincinnati and try to keep from shaking your head.<\/p>\n

Anyone who remembers the state of things at the old Foxboro Stadium will likely look at this one and wonder how, in the year 2024 in a league flush with billions of dollars, how an NFL owner can allow things to be in this state.<\/p>\n

According to the report card, Bengals players reported that, \u201cThe locker room is another major issue for the players. Approximately 50% of the showers don\u2019t work; they either don\u2019t provide warm water or there isn\u2019t enough water pressure. They face consistent plumbing issues that limit the amount of functioning toilets the players can use.\u201d<\/p>\n

For a team that is considered to be a potential Super Bowl threat for the AFC, that is absolutely unbelievable.<\/p>\n

Another notable mention was the fact that, \u201cThey are the only team that closes their cafeteria on the players\u2019 day off, even though many of the players come to the facility on off days for extra preparation and recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe club did begin to provide three meals a day on Wednesdays only this year. But they are one of two teams in the league that don\u2019t provide three meals a day each day for the players.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s also pretty shocking.\u00a0 Keep in mind that most of these players, especially rookies, practice squad guys, and even a lot of the younger guys, they\u2019re just kids.\u00a0 Many of them have only focused on football, and a lot of them are also still learning not only how to be professional athletes, but also how to be adults.<\/p>\n

So to not provide meals at the facility throughout the time they\u2019re there working, especially guys who spend additional time into the evening reviewing tape, etc, it\u2019s mind-blowing.\u00a0 Especially given the importance of nutrition and trying to make sure they\u2019re consistently putting the right things in their bodies as opposed to having to stop and grab fast food or whatever on the way home.<\/p>\n

As a result, Cincinnati came in last in the Food\/Cafeteria rating (F-, 32nd), Nutritionist Dietician (F-, 32nd), and 24th in the NFL in locker room (D+).\u00a0 The fact that wasn\u2019t worst is surprising given the plumbing issues.<\/p>\n

Needless to say, while locally, the talking heads on air are slamming Robert Kraft for various things, despite Chiefs Owner Clark Hunt getting the official worst ranking by the NFLPA, it\u2019s clear that Michael Brown (who came in 25th) deserves that honor by a landslide, at least given this news.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
