Antonio Brown

[Flash]

I'm not sure whether AB can stay sane with us but this is worth it just to see Steelers and Raiders fans melt down.

In a thread in June about a Gronk comeback I wrote:



Relevant segment from Lombardi:

I wonder if Michael "Hawt Take" Lombardi is going to call the move desperate like he did Josh Gordon.

 

[Le Numéro Douze]

Have yall thought of nicknames to this group already?

Given the volatile nature I want to call them:

The Explosion Unit

They are 4, they are explosive... C4?

Havent been this excited since the Super Bowl! More weapons the better for Tom. Revenge tour for AB. He will be fine playing for a professionally run organization. Dont worry.

 

[RobertWeathers]

You will like him on Sundays. After a couple of 25+ runs after the catch the hate will be a distant memory lol.

I'm sure I will.

I still hate the bastard but if he makes plays and they win then I don't give a ****.

This was Belichick and Brown's plan all along. Ever since Brown was born he and Belichick were scheming to make this happen. After 3 decades Belichick finally sees his plan come to fruition.

The amount of vitriol and conspiracy mania from the fans of this league towards the Patriots might have reached an all time high.

So thankful I'm a NEer and this is my team, all the rest of you peasants can keep crying and watching your crap franchises, wringing your hands about those dastardly Patriots, you fkn losers. Lol

I love the internet.

Calvin Johnson is only 33 and well rested. Maybe he wants in on the action.

Maybe Patricia will do us a solid and release his rights so he can come out of retirement.

 

[Ross12]

Well, we don’t really need his ****...as long as he can run & catch...

Have I been watching this sport wrong the whole time???

 

[makoute]

The best news about this is he is a total luxury. They were arguably the super bowl favorite before this move. If he turns into too big of an issue they can just cut him. It would be a waste of money but not a huge deal. Hopefully he is able to stay here all year and keep his head down.

I don't think anyone expects this to be long term. Just like Revis a 1 and done rehabilitation year.

The chiefs were prior to this afternoon I think.

The defense is much better off without him

 

[Kontradiction]

Is that the poster who's ******** you were responding to about Brown/Hernandez/etc...?

Yeah. We had a blast.

 

[luuked]

There is a sad Brandin Cooks joke hidden in here somewhere.

Deserves two...

 

[The Scrizz]

I was talking about releasing Calvin Johnson, not Patricia coming back...

 

[luuked]

If everyone stays healthy this year is going to be so much fun just based on reactions.

I have to say, objectively speaking, that I think the Pats have just taken the mantle of the most infuriating sports franchise to root against over the A-Rod era Yankees and Kobe era Lakers. Great players are now sacrificing their careers to get on their roster against their own self-interest and bank account because they know it's the only franchise which will deal with them squarely and competently. I'm so glad I don't have to root against them.

I'm looking at this as analogous to Revis. I didn't like him either but recognized his talent. Never think of him as a Patriot, just a useful transient mercenary who had the tremendous side value of delivering a crap-ton of agro to a very annoying team. If he works out, that's nice. The fact that this bores so far under Pittsburgh's skin is the key element of entertainment for me.

Btw, was it AB who did the commercial with Butler chasing him all around?
