She also probably (and rightfully) felt going to the NFL would more quickly/certainly stop AB from bugging her than going to the cops.

And stop him from playing and doing what he likes that makes him $$

First off, the exchange was not private. At least 4 other people are in the text.

They now know what the children look like.

you go on facebook and see what she looks like and what she likes to eat and where she likes to vacation and everything that people used to think was personal.

We know AB is a slime.

You trumpeting that point is a waste.

She needs/needed to go to the cops.

Anything less carries the perception of another money grab.

I don’t see why this matters to Brown and his standing on the team. She can do whatever she wants, that’s her prerogative.

What her intention(s) and motivation(s) are aren’t relevant to the fact that Brown is clearly unable to control himself and is behaving in impulsive, extremely poorly thought out ways.

If this isn’t the final straw, it’s darn near it.

I doubt BB cares much about Brown’s accuser or the litigation of the suit, beyond whatever details he initially worked through when the situation came up.

He likely cares a lot more about Brown’s ability to conduct himself respectably on/off the field and not be a massive distraction for the team. These texts fly in the face of that standard.

She likely already got paid nicely .

Since the NFL is currently investigation this civil case, and she's been brought in to give testimony about it, she's a witness to the civil case.

The NFL’s investigation doesn’t mean anything. It doesn’t even exist in the eyes of the law, so no one can get in trouble with the law for “witness” tampering “witnesses” in an NFL investigation (you can get in trouble with the NFL of course, and you could get in trouble with the law if what you did for your “witness” tampering was a separate crime itself.)

I’m sure they will give him a final warning. The guy’s so stupid he doesn’t realize his best defense is to lay low.

Please Pats..I just want to talk football..not this headache. Drop him. You don;t need him and this will not go away...every week it will be something...cut the ties now

is it that easy?

how your Steelers looking?

Ha yeah I’m a Steelers fan, you got me. I should just join the sheep here and defend Brown at all costs.

borg said:

Maybe my Google dictionary is broken or just lying to me .... but nowhere in the definition of “investigate” do I see the word “threaten” or a synonym of “threaten”

Curious why certain keyboard prosecutors are so intent on rewriting the dialogue of a private conversation in such sinister terms.
When the NFL “investigates”, the masses accept the dictionary definition.
When AB investigates, nefarious intentions become the only conclusion.

There’s a term for such stereotypes

Because his flunkies are private investigators? Researchers? Experts at opposition research?

Who are these guys that "investigate?" Is he trying to do his investigation on the cheap by having his "fall guy" do it? Instead of hiring a PI or anyone who has ever investigated for a firm??

I wish that I was ABs Attorney.

Constant flow of income for the firm.

I advise you to get paid in advance.

AB isn't going to be a Patriot anymore. That's all that really matters to us fans.

You are such a Troll. Not even good at it.

TommyD4207 said:

Then she should have gone to the police and reported the crime. Not Sports Illustrated and the NFL.

Why do you assume she went to SI?
I think it’s at least as likely that she went to the NFL and only the NFL and the NFL leaked it.

It's obvious at this point

Cmon lol.

primetime said:

At best he was threatening her by putting her on notice that they were digging up dirt on her and such, with some gratuitous demeaning language thrown in there. That's intimidation in a sense (and gross behavior!), especially given that he's got a lot of money and she doesn't and that sort of thing matters in terms of power dynamics. He should have done that sort of "intimidation" the right way, with sanitized public statements by his attorney.

But let's be honest, he didn't threaten her with violence or even imply a violent threat towards her. One can simultaneously hold the thought that no violent threat was intimated while still thinking this was very stupid and gratuitous.

AB is definitely a nut case, but so is the American media.

Some of my best friends are Steelers fans. I don't have a problem with Steeler fans. Trash talk with all fan bases (including my own) is my favorite hobby.

in all seriousness I hope your new QB works out and becomes a player, just like I hope the same for JAX Minchew.

To cut him? Yeah.

Yeah I mean Brown himself may not have intimated violence, but that's easy for us to say from 20,000 feet. I'm pretty sure I'd be freaking out quite a bit if Antonio Brown told some unknown friend of his named "Eric B" to "look into" me, and including her on the text message chain seems purposefully designed to elicit fear.

Anyone who thinks Facebook is personal should do themselves a favor and read their T&Cs again (or for the first time, since they just scrolled down and clicked Agree the first time), only more slowly this time.
