Mental illness...
most likely brought on by drugs.
Once the brain is fried, IT’S FRIED.
There’s no fixing that.
No! Even Emperor Bill Palpatine is not THAT evil...
Er... Right?
So the lawyer turned around and drove back to the farm house, got out of his car and walked up and knocked on the door.
When the owner opened the door, the lawyer introduced himself and offered to buy the horse. The farmer responded, "naw, y'all don't want that horse, it don't look too good."
The lawyer then offered the owner $20,000 for the horse and again the owner said, "Nay, y'all don't want that horese, as I told you before, it don't look too good"
So the lawyer says, I got to have that horse, I'll give you $50,000 for it. Finally the owner said "OK, I'll sell it to you but I warned you, it don't look too good."
So the lawyer leaves and comes back with a horse trailer, loads the horse up and hauls it away.
A week later, the lawyer drives back to the farm with the horse and marches up to the house, knocks on the door and when the farmer opens the door, the lawyer says "I want my money back, that damn horse you sold me is blind!"
The farmer then replies, "I told y'all it don't look too good".........
He got too big for his britches and became a free agent. Nobody wanted him, because he had a (well deserved) reputation of being VERY difficult to deal with.
Bye, career.
I don't have anything to do with him, because he's been an asshole as long as I've known him. Which is pretty much most of my life.
Don't be surprised if the Patriots do. If a player plays for Bellichick, they tend to behave.
/bingo
Forgot to add, the money involved then wasn’t anything like it is now, but still...
RUSH: Big news from the National Football League: As predicted by me mere moments ago, the malcontent Antonio Brown will play Monday night for the Raiders against the Denver Broncos, the last game of the weekend, the second game of Monday Night Football. If you haven’t been following this, I don’t want to take the time to bring you up to date on the month of August and Antonio Brown with the Oakland Raiders. Suffice to say, he missed practices.
He missed team meetings. Because he screwed up his feet in a cryotherapy chamber in France, and then refused to wear an approved league helmet. The culmination of this was on Wednesday — after he was fined $53,000 for missing two meetings — he posted on social media the letter from the Raiders announcing his fine, and then bad-mouthed the Raiders, and then threatened to punch the general manager in the face! Nobody has ever told Antonio Brown no. This is not unusual in sports, professional athletes. (interruption)
“Why wasn’t he fired on the spot?”
Because he’s the best receiver in the league, and because they’re paying him $30 million guaranteed — which they could have gotten out of, by the way. If Antonio Brown would have been suspended and not on the roster for game one, they would have owed him nothing. Nobody has told him no. The Steelers got rid of him and took nothing to do so. They were thought to get the worst end of the trade deal, but they knew what they were doing. He was a cancer in the clubhouse, causing all kinds of trouble, refusing to show up for the last game of the season that they had to win to have a chance to get into the playoffs.
He fakes it out with an injury that he didn’t have. Just a cancer! So he goes to the Raiders and makes it look like he doesn’t want to be there. But he threatens to punch Mike Mayock in the face. He had to be restrained by teammates from doing so. So they sent him home. This is two days ago. They sent him home and then announced that he was probably going to be suspended, and I knew right there, “He’s not going to get suspended. They’re not going to let Mayock suspend him.” They are moving to Vegas next year; they need him on the team to sell tickets in Vegas.
They need him for this, they need him on the field. He’s the best receiver in football. (Pardon me, Odell Beckham Jr., and the rest of you.) But I knew. He’s a Millennial. Nobody has ever told him no, which is par for the course for professional sports, anyway. There’s nothing unique or generational about that. That’s always been the case. But threatening to beat up your boss and having to be physically restrained? And then the Raiders say, “Well, we might suspend him.”
You should read the comments on some of the sports blogs that talk about this. Virtually 90% of the commenters thought it was a no-brainer. “The guy is gone. You just don’t do this. You don’t threaten to punch out your boss and get away with it.” Of course, I don’t post comments on these websites. I’m too famous to do that. But I just sat there and chuckled. I said, “You guys, he’s not going to get suspended and the Raiders are going to end up, in a sense, apologizing in one way or another because the guy is a child and they are gonna have to treat him as such.”
So the upshot is he was sent home yesterday. He returned to practice today. He had an emotional meeting with the team where he apologized; said it wasn’t going to happen again. It will happen again. It will probably happen Monday if he doesn’t get the ball enough! This is not going to end. There is no ending until somebody tells him no. The guy has acted as a child and as an immature, selfish solo operator and has been paid more every time for doing so.
He’s been rewarded for his bad behavior, including by the Raiders. They’re going to be moving to Las Vegas next year. They’re going to need all the star power they can get to attract a new fan base, sell tickets and all this kind of stuff. So this is a no-brainer, but it ain’t going to get better with the Raiders. They think they can talk sense. They can say, “Okay, he’s… He’s learned his lesson now. He won’t do this again.” (chuckles) He’s never learned a lesson. He’s never had to!
I don’t know him. Don’t misunderstand. I just know what everyone else does from following this stuff.
Cue Darth Vader music...
It’s pretty bad when the Raiders have had enough of your drama.
Agree, the Panthers hire kneelers and other losers.
He’ll fit right in with Cam Newton and pimp-style wardrobe.
LOL!
Of course, if he figures that AB can catch four critical passes in four close games to give the Pats homefield throughout the playoffs, he’ll do it. And AB would know it’s his last shot at a SB, and at playing for a team that meets his no doubt high standards.
If a player can't behave then they don't play for Bellichick. Can Brown behave is the question?
Brown was looking for excuses to avoid playing; Raiders were more than fair with him.
Randy Moss was a model citizen with the Patriots.
I think he needs to be checked for brain damage. He has taken a lot of head shots and I think he exhibits signs of brain disease. He is a danger to himself and others.
I’ve heard that some players, such as your family member, have raw talent, but don’t get along well with teammates.
I’ve heard that some players have had careers cut short, because of teams not wanting the “cancer” in the locker room.
From what I’ve heard, superstar players can get away with this behavior much more than the marginal or journeyman players.
Next stop, Foxboro...
Or Arlington... Or Houston...
