I agree that the 40th man is expendable and sometimes made a scapegoat to scare the rest of the team. Yes, coaches do have favorites and it isn't fair, but IMO they should do their best to treat everyone the same. Brown being able to stay in his own apartment while everyone else is together crosses the line IMO and isn't good for the locker room.
I don't like the "treat everyone the same" motto.
Yea.. what I was saying.
We have no details of the domestic dispute and he wasn't arrested so it may be nothing but considering AB actions over the past year it certainly is understandable if people jump to conclusions. As I said in the Steelers thread, if AB wants traded he isn't making it easier for the Steelers to deal him with all of his shenanigans.What is up with AB? He better check himself or he is gonna wreck himself.
Better ho,d off on my attempt to sell till the next positive news cycle.
True but there was a pretty damning video wasn't there?
Not sure about that but the Steelers have to be near the breaking point with AB if they aren't there already.
As a non-Steeler fan but sympathizer, I don't think you're going to get value for probably if not the best, then at least second or third in the entire league.
Whoa. Slow down. Based on what I read we seem a long way from him being labeled an abuser of women. I don't think this will impact him in the least unless some video exists that shows something else.
He really can't control someone coming to house and screaming for haircut money. Per the police report AB indicated he would give her the money but needed her to step outside his house first so he could close the door because he needed to go get the money. He has other kids to look out for so totally natural that he'd want what appears to be an agitated female to step outside.rockaction said:
In a vacuum, probably.
Probably puts a hold on trade talks for a few weeks to do some due diligence so in that sense I can see where it hurts his value but if this is it and it's all cleared away before his bonus is due in March I don't think it will do a thing to his value.
Bet you AB spends at least a rack for his haircuts, so I would think the cost of his kids cuts are probably enough money to cause a scene over.rockaction said:
I will never understand this. In my life. Ever.
I think most players equate their value to what they get paid, not what they get back in a trade.
That ought to send him a strong message of exactly what his value is in the NFL - for no other reason than his own making. No one questions his talent. But I’m guessing he’ll miss it completely.
Antonio Brown is a sensitive fella. He essentially walked off the team after he wasn’t named MVP and now the team is struggling to give him away.menobrown said:
I've contended since this started that not being named MVP was not an issue, his issues are almost entirely centered around his QB.
From whom? That sounds awfully low, even to a neutral observer. Gordon netter a fifth, and not only is not the receiver Brown is, he brought a lot of baggage with him -- much more than Brown.
Does this immature moron realize he is under contract? Probably not, he probably couldn't read anything on it. I hope the trade offers are so bad that the Steelers have to keep him. Then just deactivate his dumb a@@ for the entire season.
