Antonio Brown

[ralmat55]

I can't imagine Kraft trying to interfere with how Belichick does things with the team. Like was said earlier, Felger doesn't know anything about anything.

I agree with your 2nd sentence. As for the first, I give you Jimmy Garrapolo.

Dorsett will be in shooting distance of AB. I won't go further and explain that one...

Are you saying that he’d better watch his back?

@TheRainMaker mentioned something interesting in this threat that I didn't consider till now.

The accuser won't win her case. Even with the lower standard of proof unless she can get Brown to admit to it or has some kind of audio/video evidence she won't win.

My question is this: Assuming she loses the case will that change how anyone feels and should feel about it? Just because she will probably lose that doesn't prove she is lying. I wonder after the fact how much that will influence people's perception if at all?

Would her losing make you more convinced she is lying or would it not change your view at all?

We'll have a ruling by Friday, 4pm. That's when the league offices close for the weekend so we'll know at the very least if AB is playing this Sunday or not, by that time.

It actually closes at 4 pm on Saturday during the season. That’s the deadline for players being added to the roster for Sunday.

Yes, I remember that story about the infighting among the Three Bs and the team being in disarray. I never believed it.

Hey look, they started talking about the videos on WEEI two minutes before the show ends....

AB looking more innocent as the day goes on.

They knew of the videos or could have easily found out about the video but they wanted to keep people ignorant and keep the show going, good for ratings.
I think AB's stupidity and penchant for videoing everything might help him here. I am sure he can find more and keep leaking it one after the other. I said this yesterday and I got a lot of disagreement. This is the only way to find the court of public opinions and shows like the today shows.
This story will be DOA by Friday.

Yeah, his infertile wife wanted him to. I guess it was a surrogate mother type of thing. She wasn't necessarily a maid with a feather duster. She could have been a beefy farm worker with two teeth knocked out. Abraham took one for the team. UPDATE: by the way, that incident with Abraham makes my point. He had sex outside marriage and it ended up causing jealousy between the two women and Abraham had to send the slave and child (Ishmael) away. The child's descendants haunted Israel afterward. Consequences.

Just for a moment consider the possibility that someone wanted to make a point about jealousy so they created the story you cite here.

I'm not delusional, in case that is what you are inferring.

So just slow on the uptake. Got it.

 

[Simpelton]

Given the amount of emotion stirred up in the fanbase after AB's antics landed him on the most hated team in North America, and the fact that "gold digger" is a term that exists and can be applied to some people, I'm in no rush to judgment here.

I personally think she is lying and she is probably a Titans fan since she lives in Memphis and hate the Pats so that would explain the timing...with that being said,Antonio Brown has a reputation for being a diva,crybaby and a bad locker room guy with an attitude so his past will reflect on his future in the eyes of many,even if he is innocent of rape charges...which I think he is.

Two useful bits from sports lawyer Daniel Wallach (scroll down the thread):

The use of the Commissioner’s exempt list (or paid leave) is not available based on the filing of an unsworn civil lawsuit. Available only where there are formal criminal charges or following an NFL investigation. (See NFL Personal Conduct Policy below). Neither has happened yet.

However...

But there is this language to consider: If the commissioner “suspects” that there has been a “crime of violence,” he can use exempt list on a “limited and temporary basis” to allow the NFL to conduct an investigation. But how can one “suspect” anything from an unsworn complaint.

Can you imagine if we had lost the game and then this came up? Heheheh. On top of that the Raiders won? They would have reached the bones by now liking our wounds.

I thought he was a loser scumbag before, I still do and always will.

When it comes to sports I have compartmentalized my fandom from my personal moral standards.

As long as he helps the team win, he is a good teammate and is a model Patriot, I don't care.

I believe in a court of law. If he raped the woman he should go to jail. By default he will be off the team.

Yup...she sure looks "devastated"....P.T. Barnum would hire her as a headliner in a NY minute

I think assuming she won't win is a pretty dangerous assumption. I'm not a lawyer but I think there's a lot of ridiculous assumptions we all tend to make about civil cases and those who practice law in general. From the little time I've spent reading what lawyers have to say I don't think you can just operate under the assumption that her lawyers are so inept or corrupt that they knowingly took a loser case.

So I'm just going to wait and see what happens rather than thinking there's nothing more here than a he said/she said.

I’m not sure, honestly. AB is definitely not a person I’d want to hang out with, but he is a superior talent. I’m selfish in nature and he’s on my team and I want to see a Brady to AB connection all season. Does that make me a not so good human? Sure, but I already knew that.

As they say a lie can go half way around the world before the truth gets to put on its shoes. If she is lying and does not win the case, there will be just one line written about it and then people move on but those who don't like him will always think of him as a rapist. Damage is done.

 

[ralmat55]

Yes. Any thought that sprung from that evolution did so arbitrarily. There was no morality, then there was. It didn't exist from the beginning of time, unless you believe in intelligent design, which I don't. Anyone who does will surely disagree with me and that's valid.

If I, being a Christian, tried to make my points as vigorously as you’ve tried to make your points in this thread, I’d be accused of shoving my “religion “ down everyone ‘s throat. And, That criticism would be rightfully deserved as this is a football forum and not a platform to debate whether there’s a deity or not. At least, I have a heaven to look forward to whether it exists or not while you only look forward to decaying back to the primordial ooze from which you came.

 

[Ring 6]

Because its brain chemistry dictates its behavior.

Then it’s brain chemistry includes morality.
