Re: What's wrong with Antonio Brown?
There's actually more problems at Oakland than AB. Finding a television audience is one and filling the Coliseum is another. They haven't sold out in a while. Then when they go to Las Vegas, are they really going to be more popular there? Lots of teams shied away from AB because they suspected that he could flake out and not perform when they needed him the most.

Re: What's wrong with Antonio Brown?
Antonio Brown went to practice and had an emotional speech prepared for his teammates with the support of the captains. I think he finally realizes that $31M is tough to do without and he's probably not as good as he once was. At this point the team wont put up with his outbreaks over the team success and the captains can take or leave him at this point.

Re: What's wrong with Antonio Brown?
The latest take on AB is that he will slip again on another issue. He called the GM a "saltine." Not the greatest teammate especially when half his teammates are saltines.

Re: What's wrong with Antonio Brown?
He's probably one of the best wide receivers in the NFL. Getting to be like a Terrell Owens who was elected to the Hall of Fame but declined to go.

Re: What's wrong with Antonio Brown?
One day after the apology, he wants to be release from the Raiders as he is fined $215K and the $30M is no longer guaranteed for three years. Then there's the YouTube sound byte of their telephone conversation.

Re: What's wrong with Antonio Brown?
Now he's released by the Raiders, so who would be stupid enough to pick him up? None of the NFL sanction helmets satisfy him.

I remember what went down with TO. I think AB is a lot worse than TO.

Re: What's wrong with Antonio Brown?
Apparently everything was planned. He wanted to get out of Oakland.
