Antonio Brown

[Triumph]

Would you bring back AB?

If apologized to BK and promised to be good.

Put me down for a yes.

 

[Triumph]

Nothing has been proven.

Just pay everyone off to drop charges. Back to square 1.

Good to go.

There's kind of a wide gulf between someone paying for a * at a massage parlor and raping a woman.

Yes there is...but what does that have to do with anything? Clowntonio didn't "rape" either of these two women.

p.s.: Does anyone know if Krafty at least had enough sack Not to pay Clowntonio the $5M?

 

[Ring 6]

Umm the argument is that Belichick wanted to keep him and kraft overruled him.

Lol at someone disagreeing with my explanation and clarification of what argument I was referring to.

Or embarrassing a team dozens of times, versus just doing it once.

 

[sambam94]

Yeah, I'm sure the guy that went from middle class Brookline yeshiva boy to multi-billionaire did it by being casual about multimillion dollar decisions

yes, I believe he had no idea the context of those texts...heard the media blitz about pic of kids and made up his mind
edit..it's not like Kraft has made sound decisions lately..

I guess when nobody else takes the bait, you take your own.

So how long will this nfl investigation last? Idk what’s to investigate. See the text and make a decision.

 

[sambam94]

Call me late to the party and uninformed, but I just want to get my unpopular opinion on the record. I haven't been following this much because I just assumed Brown was an idiot and every negative thing said about him re: the text message must have been true. I also see that a lot of respectable people on here take great issue with Brown's texts, so there might be something I'm missing.

I just viewed the texts for the first time last night. On first blush, I don't see any obvious or implied threat, or at least not a clear one. To me, Brown just looks like a guy getting a head start on the adversarial process (which is enshrined and typically plays out in the court process - that is, testing the other side's position). The fact her kids were in the picture could be explained away as just being the picture he had handy on his phone. He's been subjected to vile accusations and wants to get as much information/dirt on the person making those accusations to undermine their position. Certainly this is something that would be done in the midst of litigation, only the process with this one is being played out in the media. The only real issue is making that plan known to the other side/letting it go public when he should be laying low and drawing no further attention to these claims.

Sorry to add another useless fly-by opinion to this nearly 500 page thread.

you are certainly in the minority, but my take is exactly the same

Even worse. Theory is BB and Brady wanted to keep him and Kraft overruled them both since he got scared by media allegations and noise and scrutiny

Did you get that line from somewhere, or just make it up? It has epic potential.

 

[Biffins]

I'm sure BB loved what he saw in practice, but he is level-minded too, not a giddy teenage girl. All that talent doesn't do much good if he's not even allowed to play.

What makes you think that Pats had an indication that AB would go on exempt list?

 

[BUSTAMOVE]

Report: Patriots did not pay Antonio Brown first installment of signing bonus

 

[Ring 6]

I guess when nobody else takes the bait, you take your own.

No bait, it was a direct response to someone who made a comment to me implying I meant something else.
Nothing to see here, no reason to remain obsessed with me.

It’s like people just make things up to get attention and there are many suckers who believe it despite a 20 year history of observing how this team operates.

 

[Biffins]

Can we close this thread already?

If AB was let go because Pats didn’t want to pay $9m guaranteed and $15m with incentives for someone to sit on exempt list, then potentially AB can return once charges are dropped and he’s cleared.

 

[Biffins]

Would you bring back AB?

If apologized to BK and promised to be good.

Put me down for a yes.

Once charges are dropped, absolutely hands down I’d bring him back.

 

[Ring 6]

What makes you think that Pats had an indication that AB would go on exempt list?

Personally I think the had him in the game plan right through practice on Friday then cut him later Friday because when they sat down to discuss his actions they list any confidence he was capable of letting it go.

One meathead and a bunch of reasonable people and somehow we want to believe the reasonable people acted irrationally.

 

[Biffins]

It’s like people just make things up to get attention and there are many suckers who believe it despite a 20 year history of observing how this team operates.

The 20 year history being that BB and Kraft never disagree? Or that Kraft never overruled BB?

Never say never.

I want no part of a guy that would send someone pictures of their kids like that.
