Brown isn't a choir boy, but this smells like a cut and dry extortion scheme for money and nothing more. Funny timing too when he's the most talked about athlete in the country...

This is basically the same exact crap Derrick Rose had to go through. I hope this woman gets charges thrown her own way if she turns out to be a liar, which with the lack of evidence at hand, seems extremely likely.


That's the only thing keeping him employed. But the Pats are pushing the limits here.

Patrick Chung (cocaine charge)
Josh Gordon, 5-time drug suspension
Antonio Brown, accused Sex Assault and otherwise malcontent
Owner Robert Kraft, soliciting at a rub and tug

And the stink of Aaron Hernandez isn't going to wear off for a generation.


Then you go from Spygate, Deflaegate and more. One isolated incident, you can dismiss, but this is a pattern.

You can be fan of the team, I don't care, but Pats are a problem. They win though, so what ya gonna do?

Unprecedented success breeds hate and jealousy.

Sounds like you’re on the opposite end of that spectrum...

That’s the thing! If they keep winning rings and in dramatic fashion all the other stuff is brushed under the rug. I hear nothing about Hernandez anymore from tv or radio.

Its brushed under the rug because its much ado about nothing.

The media and the NFL like to play up scandals for interest and are the NFL is sick of the Pats winning all the time so they play up this stuff. I can't blame then 100%. BB is machine and the Pats are way smarter and better then any of the other NFL teams. So they are always seeking to 'stick' it to the Pats. Licking their lips at any downfall - playing up any problems etc.

Pats are the bad guys and they are embracing that..

Everybody taped signals, but Patriots got caught. Deflate thing wasn't proven scientifically, just the league flexing its power.

Winning trumps all. Brady + Belichick over 20 year stretch will never be replicated.

True.

Btw, if Brown doesn't throw temper tantrum and does his job, he will have a 10, maybe 10+ TD season and win a Super Bowl... The defense is good, the offense has so many weapons. Gronk hinted that he might be back. Wouldn't shock me if he's back week 10-11, imagine this receiving core with Gronk(rested and healthy :lol: :lol: ), then you got the defense which is on another level. The secondary is nuts.
Good assessment:

Strange move since Pats run the ball some and he won't get as many catch chances. OTOH they will be better chances - so maybe he prefers that.. I mean can you even double him with Julian and Gordon out there? Rest of the NFL is screwed as long as Dante can work miracles with the line.

OL is the issue now. It looked much worse after Cannon got undercut and landed on his shoulder.


Guy IS a whack job. He lost $30 million in guaranteed money. Only $10 million is guaranteed with Pats but since $9 million was bonus money the Pats control how he gets paid. This is a win for Patriots. They got a Kyrie Irving ( elite talent, hard worker, solid guy dedicated to his craft but a locker room diva/cancer ) to be a complimentary player. They aren’t asking him to lead them .... simply to add quality talent to a team already loaded. It would be like last year’s Warriors adding Kyrie to their Big 4 for midlevel exception.

The idea that AB masterminded anything.....is ludicrous. What if he breaks his ankle on his first play? Had he honored his contract in Oakland....he would get $30 million guaranteed. I’m not sure what he gets if that happens now.....at most it would be $10 million. To give that up like he did is nuts.


Sam,
I have no dog in the NFL.
I enjoy watching/envying/admiring elite QBs like Brady & Rodgers perform (cause I freakishly can still throw well in spite of my years), & I enjoy watching mega-talented wide outs like AB run patterns & catch (cause that actually was my position back in the day).
But the Patriots should be ashamed.
This guy is a scumbag.
Hope he supports his 5 kids by 3 women. With all his tens of millions, he apparently stiffs people right & left.

Not to get political, but can you think of someone else who has 5 kids with 3 women? And has a reputation for stiffing people left and right? And says off-color things about women?

https://heavy.com/news/2016/07/donald-trump-children-ages-names-kids-how-many-does-have-daughters-sons/

My point is just that it's interesting that somehow the Patriots are supposed to be responsible for Antonio Brown's issues when he has been with the team for less than a month and all the problems happened prior to his joining the team (and possibly they were never aware of them). Meanwhile everything you just wrote applies to the President who somehow is held to a lower standard than a professional athlete. :crazy:

Can’t stand this guy. Dislike him more than I did Kyrie when the Celts got him. But in this scenario the Pats can cut (or more likely trade him for an asset) the minute the negatives outweigh the positives.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — A Pittsburgh area doctor is the latest to file a lawsuit against former Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown.

Monroeville’s Dr. Victor Prisk has filed a lawsuit in Pennsylvania claiming that Brown owes him $11,500 in unpaid fees.

Not only that, according to the NY Post, Dr. Prisk claims Brown repeatedly farted in his face and laughed about it during a consultation where he showed up three hours late.

Dr. Prisk said he was wary of signing Brown because of his “flighty” reputation for not paying his bills, Sports Illustrated reported.

TMZ even obtained video of the appointment in August of 2018 where Brown can be heard farting and laughing about it as Prisk tests his body fat.

“It seemed just childish to me,” Prisk told Sports Illustrated. “I’m a doctor and this man is farting in my face.”

Prisk runs Prisk Orthopaedics and Wellness in Monroeville, he filed the suit earlier this month.

Says the doctor willing to publicly share video of a random doctor's appointment. That has gotta breach some law?

Where was this dude before AB signed with the Pats? Probably cheering for AB.

Ben Roethlisberger is a phony scum bag. AB's a diva, hopefully little more than a diva. Haters gonna hate.

I tried to be clear that my point was that it seemed like a double standard to hold the Patriots accountable for something that we don't apply to broader society (especially since they may not even have been aware of his past issues), but apologize for ruffling any feathers and will make no further comments on the subject.

In his defense, it was only to completely ether you for next level hypocrisy.

With that said, I am ambivalent on AB for now. Seems pretty clear that he is a crappy dude, and whether or not these women are fishing for a payday, there seems to be some very poor behavior on his end. Depending on what is proven, it may or may not rise to the level of the Pats needing to dump him (they are apparently well-protected in the contract for this possibility).

But I thought they were the best team even before they signed him, and think that will remain true provided they stay relatively healthy.
