Antonio Brown

[supafly]

And hearing Gilmore talk about how good a teammate AB was, after we already know Brady said that over and over, is also getting me upset.

Dude, he was here for a little over a week. He played in one game. How good/bad of a teammate could he have possibly been during that time? You’re making him sound like Walter Peyton.

Exactly, guys like Gilmore were just being diplomatic/nice, I doubt they had become great friends.

I googled it. Here you go.

NFL told Antonio Brown to stop contacting second accuser

NFL meets with Antonio Brown's second accuser

You have interpreted the timing wrongly. He was told to stop contacting the second accuser after it came out that he contacted her. Until that incident, the NFL nor the Patriots had not engaged him about the second accuser. I doubt the NFL even talked with Brown about the first accuser.

Biffins is a joke.

You and others keep saying this, and yet not one of you have showed me any article/report saying he was told this BEFORE the texting. I will show you articles that came out telling him to stop after the last texting fiasco, no problem (9/20 - two days after - NFL told Antonio Brown to stop contacting second accuser). And I'm being genuine here - please show me where this was reported BEFORE the texts - I would LOVE to feel better about the decision to release him, that he did actually break a team/NFL rule about how to handle his private/out-of-court personal life, but I am not going to rewrite history to make myself feel better and suit my own agenda. Thanks in advance!

Fair enough on a source -- I distinctly recall seeing it reported, I'm not rewriting history of pulling it out of thin air.

Trying to hunt down the article to post here.

Not sure if you realize, but you posted the same article I did which came out after the texts.

 

[rochrist]

I would be SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO frickin pissed off if we have to pay AB $9m and he then is happy to take a vet min contract with Cowboys since he's already getting paid by us.

And I am also pissed off seeing all these media pundits talking about AB deserving another chance and talking about which team he'll land on.

ARGH

Once more for good measure. F*ck Kraft!

He was a good team mate for a FREAKING WEEK!

nope, the league told AB to stop contact after that text, not before.

I doubt you will find it because it doesn't exist.
Kraft cut AB because of media pressure about the texts and everyone wrongly saying that AB "posted" pics of accuser's kids. The aging old fart Kraft bought it.

Is there credible proof that says media and fan pressure drove Kraft to his decision?

Personally, I think Kraft does very little to bow to media or fan pressure. I would have bet it had more to due with threats of sponsorship money being pulled. He's a business guy and AB was a threat to his business model.

The people saying F Kraft are too stupid for their own good. There wouldn’t be a New England Patriots team to root for if it wasn’t for him.

Frankly, because no sane, rational, adult would do what AB did, so the fact (if it is a fact) that "no one told him not to contact the 2nd accuser until after he did so," is no excuse for what he did. Given the circumstances, what he did was moronic, at best, and criminal threatening at worst, both legitimate reasons to fire his ass.

 

[The Brandon Five]

Having AB on the field makes Dorsett look good.

No love for Dorsett's two TD's in Game 1?

 

[The Brandon Five]

He wasn't a billionaire in 1994 and Tom Brady helped turn him into the billionaire he is today.

Everything else your spewing to me is irrelevant.

He helped to make him a hexa-billionaire. He would still be a billionaire without owning the Patriots based on his ownership of the company that, you know, allowed him to buy the team in the first place.

Fire his ass but pay him though. Was that what Kraft was thinking? AB is just stupid, but tell me those who among us are without fault. Even the owner thought visiting Asian parlors for rub da dum ba was such a great idea so much that he went the second day.

I am not with them, but I think most are pointing out the hypocrisy with Kraft taking a moral stand now. When his image was that of going to the holy land and acting all pious, he could take any stand he wanted, but after his rub and tug experience, I think he can come off that perch. I think Brady is a bit pissed off with him since the summer after his contract. Brady has been passively attacking the team any chance he gets now.

I think getting caught at a jack shack and being accused of rape, and being sexually inappropriate, and texting pictures of your accusers children are two different things.
