Antonio Brown

[TommyD4207]

And we keep getting more articles about this.

Tom Brady unhappy with Patriots' decision to release Antonio Brown, left him 'bummed out': report

It's based on the same Tom E. Curran article. That doesn't make it new.

LMFAO, "more leaks" the second link is the one that started this thread and the first one is simply piggybacked to Curran's BS conjecture piece.

They both do. It's the same basis.

Kraft was just jealous Brown didn’t stay at his place

Seems obvious that Myra had a lot of input and smarts.

Myra didn’t want to buy the Patriots, and wasn’t happy that he went over 120 million for them.

LMAO, cat fight
Baker Mayfield, Antonio Brown trade shots on social media

"It started with Mayfield putting up a post on Instagram that one of his followers felt was too much like the kind of content Brown often posts. Mayfield responded to a comment by taking issue with any suggestion that he’s anything like Brown.

“You’re right,” Mayfield wrote sarcastically. “Let me call out my teammates and throw a fit about my helmet and then go freeze my feet off.”

Brown saw that allusion to him and wasn’t happy about it.

“Sorry ass Chico keep rolling right you ain’t done nothing in this league the internet only place u would ever talk too or about me; you know u get beat quick slice u up some humble pie,” Brown tweeted, addressing Mayfield. “Should of never been drafted before Lamar Jackson what a big scam.”

Mayfield is a twerp but even he should be smart enough not to be wasting time responding to social media bs like a high schooler

Total bullsh.t. If his case were in criminal court he would have been arrested immediately for witness intimidation.

Total bull$hit indeed. Tell me, why isn’t the artists case in either criminal or civil court. Oh wait. Cuz it has no merit.

Anyone remember where Antonio Brown was when Pitt’s season was on the line last year?

If you think that any rape case that isn’t reported immediately is bullsh.t then you are too misogynistic to have any discussion about it. And when multiple people accuse someone of the exact same kinds of activities they are usually guilty. Not always, but usually. Bottom line, you are just a fan boy who would take anyone, no matter how reprehensible, if you thought it would help them win. That’s both sad and pathetic.

TFB and BB wanted him on the field. Makes sense.

Kraft didn’t want him because it was bad for business. (Nike had already axed AB and sponsors were not happy). Also makes sense.

The boss made a decision. What is so hard to understand here?

You’d think that from his own recent run-in with the media, Bob would be:

A) aware that the media is scum and are willing to make any mole hill into a mountain, especially if their target isn’t liked by most of their audience; and

B) a bit more forgiving, given his own glass house situation.

F Bob. Used to love the guy, but he lost me when he didn’t support Brady over that travesty of justice, Deflategate.

 

[aluminum seats]

I think maybe it's time to drop the subject?

He's gone. Winning cures everything. Pats win #7, nobody cares (AB was a one year guy no mater what). They fall short, I'm sure it'll be cited as a reason. Let's leave it for now.

 

[1960Pats]

Group think runs wild here & they love going after Kraft.

Guy is far from perfect but not nearly as bad as the pack barks.

For such an older crowd you'd think the have perspective from previous owners this team has had.

Are you sure it's the older crowd that's doing the barking?

Do we believe that Brady is upset with the release of AB?

Without Billy Sullivan, and some help from Lamar Hunt, there is no Patriots and no Bob Kraft.

I wish Belichick controlled everything without interference.

Yes! In the entire world!

I thought Mayfield could be a good QB but he’s letting praise from last year get to his head. He is a poor man’s Matt Stafford.

Yeah, Kraft is like every other rich guy. For example, there are lots of pictures of Kraft with his "girlfriend" before Myra died. Don't ever think these guys care about anything other then their pockets and their bottom line.

I am sorry, it was the right thing to do to cut him. I defended signing him, and when the civil suit came out I defended keeping him on the team. I always prefaced it by saying, you can't cut or punish someone based upon a he said she said civil suit. Whether or not he told the Patriots before hand. I also argued you can't just cut him or you will have to pay him, especially if it is just for a civil suit.

However, I am also sure the Patriots told him to keep his mouth shut, and be a model citizen and everything will be fine. He just couldn't do it for whatever reason. Then he posted the pictures of the kids, and even though the texts weren't as bad as some people originally said they were, he did it while he was a Patriot. I don't care if it was Kraft or Bill or Tom or whomever, you reach some point and you have to realize that this isn't going away and all it will do is hurt the Patriot's brand more and more. Additionally, I think it is 50/50 they get the money back. I think most of the reporters that write these articles are idiots, and have as much legal understanding as a 5 year old does.

I imagine Bill and Bob had a nice chat when the lawsuit broke and Bob said, really Bill, and Bill replied, Bob, I will control him or he is gone, and Bob said, ok Bill it is on you. When the texts broke, Bob called Bill, and Bill said yes Mr. Kraft, I understand.

And you know what, I don't have a problem with that.

I’m not clicking on the link but I think Tom has moved the F on.

Brady is the ultimate pro, he will be just fine.

 

[Steamer86]

He had a chance and again he proved he is selfish, undisciplined and stupid. He is a cancer to any team eventually. I’m with Jimmy Johnson. “I think he needs some help. As far as an NFL GM, I wouldn’t touch him. This year, next year, or ever.” And as Pats fans are we still falling for these reporters saying Brady is mad at Kraft now, after he’s been mad at BB for 2 years and BB is mad at Kraft again....These idiot reporters are not being leaked BB and Brady’s inner feelings. They speculate and say sources say....and then fanboys get all fired up...

Not a bad comparison. Short of some seriously deficient pressure awareness Stafford certainly appears to have the tools he just can't seem to get them working together efficiently on a consistent basis. Mayfield also appears to have the tools but the jury is out. Maybe he gets to the point where he settles down and realizes you can't be successful flying by the seat of your pants at this level anymore and maybe he doesn't. His 50¢ head isn't doing him any favors that's for sure.

So do you also believe that TB12 is sad and pathetic? He apparently wanted Brown to stay.

Agree with most of that but I disagree on Brown getting “ help.” To make changes you have to be able to look at yourself critically and take responsibility for your actions, Brown’s disorder is malignant narcissism and it makes it impossible to do either. He will continue to blame everyone else for his problems, he will lash out and continue to create drama to get attention, and he will never accept responsibility for anything that has taken place. He’s beyond help.
