Antonio Brown

Some damn fool who wasn't around for the 3 Stooges that owned the team before Kraft.
Anyone who survived the broke ass thieving Sullivans, Victor the Huckster and Otis Carpetbagger Orthwein wouldn't insult the man that kept our team in New England to that degree. Short of his moving the team or killing someone (after all Krafty Bob is no Ray Ray) I'll always find forgiveness in my heart for whatever his sins.

Close personal friend of the Sullivans by any chance? In-law to Kiam maybe? Ingrate? Hard to know the answer to the first two, pretty sure the answer is yes on the third one. Bob Kraft buying this team remains the single best thing that ever happened to the New England Patriots. Because without that there'd no longer be a New England Patriots team. There'd be no Belichick or Brady here, we'd be where St Louis fans are now except they at least got a championship for their troubles.

I can see Brown playing for like eight different teams this season. Virtually every coach thinks he can Dr. Phil this loon. But even Dr. Sigmund Freud would struggle to unravel the neurotic enigma that is Antonio Brown.

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?

Brady just doesn’t want Brown texting about him

What's hard to understand for a substantial portion of our fan base that has become so spoiled and entitled that they don't just expect to get all the things all the time they demand it?
I'm guessing they are having a hard time with the concept of the Golden Rule of Capitalism, Whoever Has The Gold Makes The Rules. Maybe they'd prefer the way Mike Brown or Stephen Ross run their teams

It's like when you're banging the incredibly hot crazy chick, but you know one day she's gonna do something really embarrassing in front of your friends/family, so when that day inevitably comes, you gotta say goodbye. Still sucks because you'll miss the sex. But the key is that you have to let a girl like this down super easy or else she will go 10x nuts on you - hence the triple Brady heart on instagram.

MODS: Please do not merge my thread into the ongoing Antonio Brown thread. This is new news, mainly about Tom Brady and his thoughts, and I cannot post in that thread.

Anyway, I'm curious, but are the people that dogpiled me for stating that I was unhappy the team cut Brown now going to condemn Brady?

Tom Brady wanted Antonio Brown to stay and was unhappy when Patriots cut receiver, per report

The same Freud who applied too much emphasis on sex or that his sample of patients were mostly mentally abnormal, white males. Gotch ya!

I wish they hadn’t cut him yet. Especially if Belichick and Brady still wanted him that’s all that matters to me, **** the media. If they could deal with his off the field antics then that would be fine.

Apparently they couldn't, considering the fact that he sent those texts ~10 days after joining the team, and no doubt he had been told by both his lawyers and the team to stay in line.

The guy was a ticking time bomb. It wasn't a matter of 'if', it was a matter of 'when'.

Todd Bradley said:

After thinking on this for a few days, I’ve got to say, pretty disappointing to just see him cut based on media pressure.

They didn't cut him because of media pressure.

They cut him because he sent those asinine texts on that fateful Wednesday night.

There was ample media pressure prior to Brown sending those texts and there was no move to release him; that came after the texting fiasco.

You can disagree with the decision but the notion that this was a media hatchet job, or the team bowing to media pressure, is patently false.

Yeah you just described the media pressure that got put on over nonsense. Text messages? Good grief...

No one ever debated whether or not Kraft was a good owner. We know who he is and what he’s done.

But he did allow Tom Brady, the man who made him a billionaire and delivered all the exponential success he’s had as an owner, to get railroaded by the NFL and Goodell over a fake scandal.

I think any fan of this team can concede that truth.

Text messages with pictures of the second accusers children. Are you being intentionally obtuse?

He made a crude and pathetic joke about their clothes.

The fact that anyone can read those texts and attribute that to harming children is mind bogglingly obtuse.

And were you referring to him as Benevolent Bob before that?
Kraft apologized for believing accepting the team's punishment would put it behind everyone and take the heat off Brady. He was wrong and admitted it publicly, I remain inclined to take the guy that didn't try to rake me over the PSL coals at his word. Obviously YMMV

Well no considering “Bendover Bob” stemmed specifically from his handling, or lack there of, of Deflategate.
