This is going to happen you guys and it's gonna be crazy.
I have to admit, I'm kind of rooting for it to happen purely for entertainment value. Looking forward to heads exploding.

Same here. Let’s rock the NFL twice with the same signing!
 
Again? You missed the point entirely, those men were destroyed, one of them literally, by accusations that proved to be baseless. You said "I doubt metoo would get involved unless there was actual evidence." I'm guessing you were too uninformed to know who they are/were and too myopic to be bothered checking.

What are you saying? Just because other guys’ lives were ruined due to baseless accusations, it’s ok for AB’s to be ruined as well? I honestly don’t understand your point.

Not to get in the middle of your debate, But IMO I don't want AB's career to be derailed for baseless accusations. However, I do want it to be destroyed because he has shown he just wants to troll teams into signing him so he can trot out whatever excuse he can to not actually play for them. It has nothing to do with the gold diggers. The Steeler crap, The helmet thing,, the foot thing,, the texting after one week with us? This dude is not interested in playing. He is reality TV meets NFL. I want no part of that no matter how thin we are at receiver. Even if it meant another ring, I would rather lose and ride off into the sunset with what we have with class.

He’s not shown the Pats anything but an extreme desire to pay for us.

As for other teams, he wasn’t the first guy to try and engineer an exit from a crap team.

Doesn’t mean his career should end.

If he had an extreme desire to play for us, he might've considered not dragging Kraft through the mud in tabloid fashion. He'll never don a Pats uni again. He's done as a Pat and most likely the league. Rightfully so. His career is over. At least with the Pats it is.

And yet you hit it with an angry rating :rolleyes: which certainly doesn't help your intellectual credibility any. I hold very much the opposite position you suggested. The point I took issue with was the statement "I doubt metoo would get involved unless there was actual evidence." In so doing unlike most posters, for instance you talking about employment at will, I cited well known and easily verifiable instances when innocent men were brutally metoo'd over less substantial allegations than have been made against Brown, one of them to the point where he commited suicide. It is preposterous to think the runaway train that metoo has become wouldn't be all over AB without evidence when a lack of it didn't keep it from destroying more than one man's career and driving another poor guy to his death over far less. I realize rational responses aren't the norm in the crap fest you and your AB at all costs brethren turn every one of these discussions into but had you looked at them in anything other than a combative way the thought being presented should have been abundantly obvious.

I've been clear from the outset I thought signing AB after the crapfests in Pittsburgh and Oakland was courting disaster. He may have the right to remain silent but he obviously lacks the capacity and loose cannons just don't belong here. But once he was signed it was what it was. Once the civil suit became public knowledge he should have been cut not for the allegations it contained but for withholding his documented knowledge it was imminent during contract negotiations. The league's own mouthpiece said the team and the league were blindsided by it. AB was under no gag order as the arbitration period had ended with the accuser stating she was going to court. He willfully chose to withhold the existence of a materially adverse condition and that is by any definition acting in bad faith. The Pats didn't cut him at that time, likely because arguably the damage was done but still it was a mistake.

If at that point he had just behaved like someone pretending to be a rational human being, which clearly he is not, and kept quietly to himself by issuing nothing other than "I'm just here to play football and won't be addressing outside issues" type comments as his representatives no doubt advised him he probably would have escaped that week. He just had to go at the artist who had already shown she was not shy about speaking out about his behavior. Whether you interpret those texts as threats or not clearly others have and AB himself put those bullets in the gun then doubled down on it by urinating on Kraft on his way out of Dodge.

No matter how you stack it if you were Kraft or the NFL at this point AB has shown himself too volatile a fruit to be worth the squeeze, that's just good business sense. Speaking of which, business is business but AB couldn't help himself and made it personal with Kraft, what more do you need to understand he just isn't stable enough to roll the dice on?

Man, some of your paragraph-less posts are like reading Faulkner but without the incest, well, mostly.
 
I don’t agree with the fact that he has an extreme desire to play for the Pats. If he did, he’d personally apologize to Kraft and the whole organization. I bet Rosenhaus has reached out but I’m sure AB hasn’t. He has an issue with accountability. I’d love to see him killing it with TB (without the unnecessary drama), but it’s just not possible which is so unfortunate.

Now that's the kind of helpful feedback that adult discourse is all about. I will do my level best to squeeze in some PG incest innuendo going forward
 
Tom isn't the type to disobey orders. He would have made a great soldier.

I think the problem is that TB was asked to take in AB and after he committed to the guy Kraft dumped him.

You mean when Early Bird Bob boasted about Brady being “a million percent” on board with the signing, only to leave Brady standing at the altar? Bob got his victory lap in with the signing, spewing out the story to Chris Collinsworth and every press member. What a coup he pulled off, until he decided to take a second victory lap for his warped ethics.

adult Olsen twins?
 
Lmfao this is actually hilarious. He really does want to come back pretty bad I guess. I hope it happens honestly. Might be a good time to do it during a "mini-bye" to get all the media circus crap out of the way and focus on football again before the next game.
