Yup, looks like it. He's nuts.Is that Brittany Taylor in the pic?
Well, far be it for me to do anything that remotely looks like defending Big Ben, but he *was* suspended. AB would be suiting up for a game against the Jets if he could stop texting.He also threw out a link to the Big Ben story and one regarding Shannon Sharp. He's going scorched earth
One in which he seems increasingly unlikely to win.This will be a long protracted battle for his money.
It’s become a cheap explanation for any abnormal behavior by NFL players. There are plenty of symptoms that Antonio Brown does not display.I've heard some former players say that it's not cool to blame his recent behavior on CTE,
Problem remains that they played him after learning of the allegations and all this stuff is post-cut. They’ll have to rely on the messages to the accuser.One in which he seems increasingly unlikely to win.
We sure do. If you're a public figure and you can't ignore the copious crap on Twitter, you shouldn't be on Twitter, because it can't be policed and it's not going to stop.We have different definitions of professional behavior from reporters.
The broadside against Kraft is unfortunate in making impossible a quick and clean resolution that might have given the Pats clarity and maybe more cap space.Didn't know AB stood for "Arson" and "Bridges".
Taking a shot at Kraft, no matter how "not wrong" it is, pretty much ensures that his unemployment status will go way past next year. What owner would want to to be entangled in that mud?The broadside against Kraft is unfortunate in making impossible a quick and clean resolution that might have given the Pats clarity and maybe more cap space.
No secret what happened. The amazingly resourceful and hard working Rosenhaus told AB no suitors, at least for this year.
That too.Taking a shot at Kraft, no matter how "not wrong" it is, pretty much ensures that his unemployment status will go way past next year. What owner would want to to be entangled in that mud?

It's nonsense. If anything, cutting him after 11 days strengthens their brand.Watching some of the pre-game shows this morning, the "Patriots have damaged their brand" talking point is getting a workout. But none of these talking heads can offer any specifics. Damage the brand how? Are games at Gillette going to stop selling out because of this? Doubt it. Are significant numbers of Pats fans going to stop buying licensed gear? Doubt it. Have/will the Krafts lose corporate partners/sponsors over this? No evidence of that. Is the value of the franchise going to decline because of this? I wouldn't think so. Apparently the Bert Breers and Ben Volins of the world think them saying critical things about the Patriots "damages the brand".
It's just a hot story line right now.

Being a public figure means having no issue with people posting your home address and phone numbers.We sure do. If you're a public figure and you can't ignore the copious crap on Twitter, you shouldn't be on Twitter, because it can't be policed and it's not going to stop.
I wish people online all held themselves to the standards of SoSH too, but pretending it's otherwise is to live in a fantasy world.
It must be nice living somewhere where you've never had to hear about paparazzi. Let Lady Gaga tell you about it.Being a public figure means having no issue with people posting your home address and phone numbers.
That's 100% where I'm at. The guy has no impulse control, and he's squandering generational talent. What a shame. For his sake, I hope he's saved some cash, because I think there's a legitimate chance that he's gotten his last chance as an NFL player.“But I truly believed that AB has some serious mental health issues as well as a deep-seated personality disorder. These actions of the past 8 months or so are not just asshole behaviors. This guy is spiraling out of control.”
This is what I wrote previously. This is not normal diva antics. I fear this will not end well for AB if he doesn’t get help.
On the football side, what a waste of phenomenal talent. As other Pats players stated, he was hard working and had a very high FOOTBALL IQ. And was truly gifted. Off the field, man what a disaster.
Reminds me of how I felt after realizing what Aaron Hernandez did. Such a waste of supreme athletic talent.
I mean we know the handjob happened, were not sure about the assaults.I was being literal. Of course they’re completely different.
I don't think one has to display every symptom to have a condition.It’s become a cheap explanation for any abnormal behavior by NFL players. There are plenty of symptoms that Antonio Brown does not display.
His last IG is a pic of him wearing a Richard Mille watch while sitting on a Rolls Royce in front of a private plane.For his sake, I hope he's saved some cash, because I think there's a legitimate chance that he's gotten his last chance as an NFL player.
Well, at least the Mille holds its value. For now.His last IG is a pic of him wearing a Richard Mille watch while sitting on a Rolls Royce in front of a private plane.
OK, but check out the MC Hammer episode of "Behind the Music" sometime.His last IG is a pic of him wearing a Richard Mille watch while sitting on a Rolls Royce in front of a private plane.
I think that was his point. He’s more Antoine Walker than Gronk when it comes to money management.OK, but check out the MC Hammer episode of "Behind the Music" sometime.
Ha! I'm sure that's right. That's what I get for trying to cook some pasta and post here at the same time.I think that was his point. He’s more Antoine Walker than Gronk when it comes to money management.
#iknowimspecialHe's going to quickly find out that folks only found him interesting because he was a football player.
If the New England Patriots’ release of Antonio Brown was just business before this weekend, it blasted into personal territory like a freight train on Sunday. Now the fight over millions of unpaid dollars will likely get only nastier moving forward.
With nearly all of Brown’s $15 million contract expected to be withheld following his release from the Patriots, a league source told Yahoo Sports the wide receiver will ask the NFL Players Association to file a grievance on his behalf in the coming days — with the intent of securing nearly $10 million in unpaid salary and guarantees from New England. That effort promises to lead into a suddenly very personal arbitration battle between the Patriots and Brown, after the wideout indicated that he not only expects his union to fight for him, but also took a shot at team owner Robert Kraft in a Sunday morning Twitter storm.
Of course that is true. Just as the combination of the Burfict KO and his current meltdown evidence that he has brain damage.I don't think one has to display every symptom to have a condition.

Once in the fold, I wanted AB to remain and for him and the Pats to destroy the League. I have major problems putting people out of work based on allegations made in civil complaints.It's becoming increasingly clear that BB would have kept Brown (giving him all the first tem reps on Friday is a big clue, and most of the local reporters are suggesting it, and Brady and BB are being particularly surly about it). Does that change anyone's thinking? I guess I'd have been fine with keeping the guy--I don't give a shit who is on the team as long as it maximizes the changes of good winning teams--but what do others think?
The people who hated the Pats REALLY hate the Pats now. And the people who would never buy a Pats jersey REALLY won't buy a Pats jersey now.Watching some of the pre-game shows this morning, the "Patriots have damaged their brand" talking point is getting a workout.
