Turn around Sam Wyche's legendary quote"You don't work for Cleveland! You work for Cincinnati!"

Competition in the state has taken an off-court turn, with the Bengals claiming that Hamilton County is using a consultant who is also trying to help the Browns get a new stadium, partly due to Ohio funding.

The Bengals said in a statement issued Thursday that David Abrams, a consultant hired by Hamilton County Consulting services are also provided to Brown.

The county explained that others at the Abram company Inner Circle are working for the Browns.

"Mr. Abrams was not involved in Brown, their stadium programs and/or related matters," Hamilton County said through the baby. "This is explained to the team, who have been awarded Abrams' contract and scope of work, which does not include any state lobbying."

Although not the same as the inner circle working directly for Bengals, based on the relative value of the two contracts, there is an argument to be made because the inner circle can prioritize Brown’s success results rather than the success results for Hamilton County. For example, if the inner circle is to be delayed or derailed to ensure long-term viability of Bengali people in Cincinnati, the inner circle may be better provided for brown.

Given that the Browns and the Bangladeans are competing for the same limited national funding pool, the two teams are certainly contradictory on this issue.

"The county can decide how to proceed, but the team believes it is appropriate for the parties involved in the discussion to work only in promoting local interests, or if there is any other conflict," said the Bengali native.

The fact that the Bengals choose to openly point their cynical fingers at Abrams is reaffirming the toxicity of the current relationship between Bangladesh and Hamilton County. In short, Bengals seem to suspect that people working in Hamilton County may want to throw wrenches on gears to blow up potential Bengal agreements. All in the name of helping Brown.

Bengali people can at least trust Abrams can guide funding options for salary stadium renovation from Ohio taxpayer funds, making it easier for Brown to get what they want.

If Hamilton County doesn’t care about potential inner conflicts of interest, why should Bengali take care of it? Of course, the fact that Bengali do care about will make the team and county more difficult and not easy to solve.

Maybe that's a Bengali drama. Putting pressure on Hamilton County, Abrams in turn tried his best to get Bengali satisfaction into an agreement. Have as much Ohio funding as possible.

The team’s statement also ensures that Browns are aware of potential conflicts, which may prompt them to place some of their own sharp issues in the internal circle.

In short, this development has made things messy, even more chaotic in Cincinnati. This won't make negotiating a long-term lease easier.
