AB threatens to retire (Helmet-Gate)

[Kontradiction]

This is disturbing, his behavior is not normal. He may already have CTE.

Oh I would bet that he already has CTE. Very erratic behavior and he’s taken some absolutely hellacious shots to the head.

 

[Palm Beach Pats Fan]

He needs this helmet

 

[Taco]

The helmet is fine. It’s whats in it is the problem.

 

[fnordcircle]

That’s not necessarily a good thing when he’s a member of a team sport.

Yeah but I mean, whatever, I wish I could have constant temper tantrums and be a huge pain but still get to have a job that makes me rich.

I & others have been here for a minute now.

I'm astonished that it's not being talked about more in public settings. I mean dude is 31! This isn't some broken down old man most have never seen/heard of. Guy is in his prime, barely 30 & just a mess.

If this was a local neighborhood sh¡t bum we'd be saying he's all cooked up on drugs.

 

[Taco]

I might have to sign up for hbo. Hard Knocks should be pretty good entertainment!

First episode is free on YouTube

Stone cold threat. Icy relations between he and the Raiders. Fans must be numb.

The episodes are on youtube on the Raiders channel

he sounds like such a piece of work

Since he joined the Raiders, Antonio Brown has frustrated his new team by showing up late to numerous meetings and then often appearing unfocused in them, according to Michael Silver of the NFL. Brown is distracted by several tablets and his cell phone during meetings, checking his bank accounts and perusing Instagram, Silver reports.

Antonio Brown’s insistence at wearing old helmet is “most insane thing” ever

Sounds like he has untreated ADD to me. Some of us deal with this everyday.

 

[LJRomanoff]

I'm so jealous of this guy. Say what you want about him but he's living life on his own terms.

So did Aaron Hernandez.

 

[BradyFTW!]

Easy, good PR for the league if they take a hardline stance here. They can say they're protecting the players from themselves and paint the players as hypocrites who expect the league to care more about their safety than they themselves do.

Plus this seems more like a temper tantrum than a legitimate threat. And if it is a threat, does anyone in the league office (or outside Oakland/Vegas/wherever) really care if AB retires?

 

[PatsFan2]

I am bias I just want AB to show up against the Chiefs.

So the Raiders traded for him and gave him a new contract, only to become immediately frustrated by the fact that Antonio Brown continues to be Antonio Brown. This is one of the best examples of "play stupid games, win stupid prizes" I can remember.

I love watching him and he's a great talent, but did they think he was going to be a different person in black and silver?

Run for political office.

 

[catent]

So did Aaron Hernandez.

Big distinction between being a give-no-****s, living-on-your-own-terms type of personality and being a murderer.

 

[TBR]

Let's toss Oakland a 7th rounder for him.

 

[jah]

So did Aaron Hernandez.

Is this the "reductio ad Hitlerum" of Patsfans?

 

[Bourne Again Christian]

Let's toss Oakland a 7th rounder for him.

At this point no

 

[Clonamery]

At this point no

No thanks. Too much. Money. And BS.

 

[h0c2000]

He wears a helmet model that is approved, but no helmet can be over 10 years old. So he just needs to replace it with a newer version of the same model, but being a crybaby who has always gotten his way with everything, that seems out of the question.

Enjoy your diva, Raiders.

So what you're telling me is all those AB game worn helmets Eli sold me are fake?

 

[Wheelman]

Per BR. Hah! and not even a link. I ain't taking the bait.
