Antonio Brown Bankrupt, 3M in debt (2 Viewers)

[wgoldsph]

So, he took the gun from the security guard? Glad to know Florida mandates exacting training standards for weapons security discipline before allowing someone to open carry.

Considering it's Florida the gaurd probably just decided to come to work strapped that day.

You get hit in the head enough its gonna begin to effect your choices in life. This guy is a loose cannon and needs help. Maybe some harsh consequences saves him from future heart ache. Imo

At this point what "harsh consequences" wouldn't end with heart break? Best case for Brown is he needs to spend the rest of his life medicated or whatever they do for people with traumatic brain injuries. It's heart breaking that this is his life because of the game we love.

 

[Chaka]

Well, AB took to X today to clear the whole thing up. Case closed!

This gun charge's consequences should result in some form of sentencing with mandatory counseling. That form of consequences instead of charges dropped, then down the road something even worse happens. Dude needs help. I don't know him, but I'd guess some form of professional help is out of the question unless it's mandated by the courts.

Incredible.

Wow. So it's okay to use racial slurs on X now? I thought that was verboten?

I just wish people would stop blaming his behavior on CTE.

I've posted this numerous times but two scouts, one still working in the league, have both said when he entered the draft every team in the league knew he was bi-polar.

Back when he started going off the rails a lot of his teammates said what changed him was when he got that second big money extension.

it really does explain his irrational behavior, and much better than CTE as well. from what I understand, bi-polar folks tend to hate taking their meds, because they feel stifled. My ex suffered from it when she was a kid, but regulated it with lithium. I learned a lot about it from her.

Well I did not know that.

Yeah, this does seem rather Kanye-like. Hopefully AB doesn't become a nazi sympathizer when off his Meds.

On a serious note if he does have bi-polar it's heart breaking that nobody got him help when he first got into the league. I know that mental health wasn't something talked about in sports back then (although I do remember a pitcher who took time off battling depression... Grienkie I think his name was) but think about what might have happened if he had been pushed towards seeking therapy. We could still be watching the end of a Jerry Rice level career. I really hope the young men coming into the league are offered some sort of therapy now, even the most well adjusted person isn't prepared for the change.

On the first bolded a lot of players get massive hits to the head and might have CTE that don't act like he does.

On the second bolded that checks with him, had heard he did not like taking his meds.

Also a few weeks ago he tweeted out a screenshot of an old text Brady had sent him where he asked or advised him to check in with his pyschiatrist. He seemed to take offense at this which is why he was tweeting about it.

So to me it all checks. CTE does not.

Interesting. Leave to this site to.omce again educate me. I will say that his bipolar conditioned couldn't have improved after repeated blows to the head. Ha ha

I don’t want to speak in generalizations regarding the bolded, but a lot of folks with bipolar issues tend to go into creative fields. When the meds kick in, I’ve heard it described as a governor on a truck, but it’s way better than going on a bipolar bender and ending up 5150’d.

In between those extremes it’s flows of creativity, 2-3 day epic painting sessions, or believing you’ve cured cancer. But like all things there are extremes, and not everyone experiences the more manic episodes.

Back on topic, IMO the disorder fits AB’s antics to a tee.

As the resident bipolar I have to disagree with the bolded. We gotta work where the money is, and being creative as a living is damn near impossible when your creativity comes in manic bursts followed by hating absolutely everything you have ever looked at let alone done yourself.

You also are competing against "stable" creative people for work. Unless you offer something truly unique, like Kanye for instance, most firms perfer your creativity to be within an established box. Try making an ad for any Google product, Google will never have a "I'm on a horse" moment. They want safe "creativity", which can really chafe someone with bipolar.

Point is, I would love to become poet laureate of the US, but I need to eat in the meantime.

Totally fair. As I said in another post, I’m trying not to make generalizations or paint with too broad a brush. And I’m definitely not an expert in bipolar disorder. I spent years with someone who was well-controlled, and have met others over the 54 years I’ve been on this blue marble - creativity was a pattern I’d noticed, but I’m sure it varies wildly.

For example, my ex was in marketing. She was an artist first & foremost, but as you say, that don’t pay the bills. That said, she couldn’t focus enough on acquiring career-supporting skills until she was balanced with lithium. And again, I’m sure it’s very different for everyone & there are degrees to both the depth of the condition & the desire to remain medicated. There are always degrees to everything, so apologies if I overstepped there.

Do you think AB’s antics fit the description of manic BP episodes?

I don't feel like you overstepped or anything, just there's a lot of misconceptions around mental illness. Like your ex I'm also medicated and able to find work in a field that, while not creative, definitely hits the same pleasure centers in vet med (I will never get tired of feeding less than a week old kittens). Before my medication my lows basically made it so I disappeared from the world.

I'm sure you know this having been around it, but there's type 1 and type 2 bipolar. 1 is mostly manic while 2 is mostly depression (to simplify things). I have type 2, my mania rarely drove me into a state of psychosis. I can see myself doing some of the things he's done when I was though, including throwing away a football career in the middle of the game if I already felt invincible financially. "It's /my/ art, F those NFL execs making money off me." And talking to someone working in your house with a towel over your junk? "F you, I live here, I can **** on the kitchen table and you can't do anything about it."
Or maybe they were depressive episodes he did his best to retcon when he was manic. "I can't run the perfect route anymore, this isn't even worth the effort of being on the field". And when mania kicks up again "Nah F you, I'm too good for this".

So basically you made minor generalizations based on years of experience with people and I'm pretending I can get into another man's head because I experience a different form of the same mental illness. You are definitely being more respectful than I am here.

insane to watch someone go from the top of something to the bottom of life in such a short span.
this guy's brain is going to look like sourdough starter when they open him up

Thanks, now I have to throw out the bulk ferment I have going in my fridge.

time to start using a biga

Poolish, maybe...

Brown firing a gun in the air because someone was trying to rob him, this really ain't a big deal.

One more weird AB story.

Actually saw something on a cop show where cops were called for gun shots fired and dude said “I just shot it in the air”…cop said what goes up must come down and bullets reach speeds of over 225 mph coming back down and can go through roofs and have killed people…

Not sure if it could go through a roof and kill someone, but definitely falling direct to the head I could see it happening.

Anyways, still blows my mind to this day that if you fire a gun straight, the bullet will hit the ground at the exact same time as a tennis ball or whatever other object you drop from the same height (at the same time). I know it's "basic science" but just refuses to compute in my head.

A bullet fired from a gun would hit the ground way before a dropped tennis ball would. One is moving towards the ground with a ton of momentum behind it, the other simply dropping. Speed still matters in gravity.

Then you need to argue with Neil : He explains it here

Yeah I'm a moron

This is exactly why I say it blows my mind. No matter how or which side you look at it... it doesn't make sense.

Well your gut isn't entirely wrong. But the order of magnitude of the forces and velocities make it the foregone conclusion you hear about.

Objects in motion do have inertia (wanting to continue travel in a straight line) which can resist the tug of gravity. This is why satellites stay in orbit. We set them up moving at a velocity that their tendency to want to travel in a straight line is exactly equal to the force of gravity they experience at whatever altitude they are. Which causes them to curve around the Earth, never falling until their velocity slows.

But a 9mm bullet travels maybe around 800 mph. It would need to go like 18,000 mph to have its speed (inertia actually) offset gravity fully.

The amount that the bullet's speed would offset the pull of gravity is just too negligible to show up. And air resistance slowing it, plus affecting both the bullet and tennis ball as they fall, would also probably dwarf the effect to not be measurable without incredibly sensitive equipment in an ideal setup.


By the way, if the other aspect gets to you of why does the heavier object fall at the same rate... the heavier object experiences a greater force of gravity it's true. F = G(mass1 * mass2) / r² A tennis ball is like 150x the mass of a bullet, and so it experiences a 150x greater force of gravity. However, Acceleration = Force / Mass. So while that force is 150x greater, it's acting on a mass that is 150x greater as well. So those cancel each other out. Which is why falling objects on Earth all accelerate at the same 9.8 meters per second-squared (apart from air resistance, etc).

 

[Chaka]

Force, gravity something, something, I saw it on Mythbusters.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

true. F = G(mass1 * mass2) / r²

Saw him on kill tony from may. Dude was living on another planet

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Man's got a right to protect his property
It's South Beach, lot of syndicate crime down there especially thieves
That's the 3-0-5 for you, can be walking out of an event at the VIP door and still get knocked over
Poor Antonio, was trying to support his fighter and ends up in a late night dance with death, he's lucky to be alive
Maybe this will be the turning point for him and his life moving forward

T&P AB

Wanted for attempted murder now, the guy just can't catch a break these days

 

[Desert_Power]

You get hit in the head enough its gonna begin to effect your choices in life. This guy is a loose cannon and needs help. Maybe some harsh consequences saves him from future heart ache. Imo

If he’s been hit so hard he can’t examine his choices well, it’s hard to believe he can improve them.

ETA: need to read more of this discussion though

Weird AB universe full circle stuff.

Not sure how much anyone remembers but during Kendrick Lamar's halftime show at the Super Bowl one of the dancers went rogue, pulled out a free Gaza/Sudanese flag in protest, started running across the stadium, got detained and released with no charges

So anyway the state police took over the case and arrested him today for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest over this protest.

And this relates to AB because it turns out this is the same guy that Antonio Brown has the attempted murder warrant out for shooting at.

So, there is a warrant for his arrest. Why has he not been arrested yet? It has been a bit, no? Is he hiding out somewhere? I figured he would have been picked up already, charged, then released on some kind of bond.

There are countries without extradition.

And it’s not like he actually killed someone, so he’s probably not the highest priority.

If he is out of the country, they’ll nab him when he comes back.
