What Antonio Brown will see next time he looks down his driveway.

Vince sexually assaulted several women and became a billionaire, so Antonio Brown would probably be all about learning under that tree.

So AB allegedly rapes a couple people and has "several teams expressing interest" and yet KaEpErNiCk Is BlAcKbAlLeD

Patriots fans send threats to reporter who revealed second AB accusation

I guess sending intimidating messages is the best way to honor their favorite player.

AB's a piece of shit, but he isn't *really* wrong about the double standard.

AB is a HOF level talent, Kaepernick is, at best, a couple Pro Bowl level talent. Obviously, Kaepernick is the better person (as far as I know and I hate I feel the need to say that about anyone), but it's literally a case of talent being valued above all.

[Lowerdeck]

I really hope AB is done, but someone's gonna be stupid and desperate I think.

 

I also would guess AB is fairly close to broke.

That's what I am saying, if Kaep was a starting level quarterback or even a high end backup he'd have a job. Its talent keeping him out of the league at the end of the day.

Teams tend to be pretty liberal with who they give rings out to - a lot of teams will give rings to any player who was on their 53 or practice squad at any point during the season.  If you don't get one, it's probably because you've pissed off the owner.

So yeah, on top of everything else AB lost out on getting an easy ring.

I actually do think Kaep is a low end starter to high end back-up. His bigger issue is you have to design the entire offense around his playstyle to get the full monty out of him, which, along with circumstances on both sides, has made it easier to keep him away.

Like, he'd be perfect in Baltimore's system, but of course you wouldn't start him over Lamar Jackson. They have RGIII as a back-up, who is honestly more talented that Kaepernick, and just overall a better QB, plus that whole thing with Kaepernick's girlfriend before, but Baltimore would be perfect, even Greg Roman is there, they've gone to a Super Bowl together.

If Cam is really, really hurt, and Carolina wanted to try and compete for a playoff spot in a wide open NFC South with Brees injured, that would be another perfect spot.

That's what they were saying about Boogie Cousins before last NBA season, too.

It wasn't that long ago, but "Antonio Brown won't play because his helmet is banned" feels like an age away now.

Plus there really isn't any team that needs Kaepernick at the moment. Why sign a problematic player who hasn't played in a few seasons, was mediocre the last time he did, and will bring along a lot of baggage and a media circus, when you've got backups already signed (most teams) or can grab a vet who is already somewhat familiar with your system (Steelers grabbing Vick)? 

Do I think Kaepernick will ever play in the NFL again? Personally, no. But I won't be surprised at all if he does.

And lets not forget that Kraft isn't the owner who has had bad behavior. Jim Irsay got busted for DUI and drug possession AND paid for a house for his mistress with team money. The mistress thing came out when said mistress overdosed and died in the house. Irsay's punishment? a 6 game supension and a slap on the hand $500,000 fine. I'd rather have the Patriots winning Super Bowls than the Colts as long as Irsay is the owner. Kraft is a saint by comparison.

I'm not going to play Whataboutism with you over the guy that supports sex slavery.

I remember the days when stations didn’t feel the need to have 25 people on the pregame show panel.

Thought the investigation showed that the women weren't involved in trafficking/slavery?

Nearly 75% of Yahoo Survival Pool participants took Dallas this week.  I’ve never seen a percentage that high in a knockout pool.

The Jets are starting an undrafted QB who was on their practice squad and claimed off waivers 30 days ago. The same guy who couldn't crack the Dolphins roster.  This narrative of Kaep being kept out due to anything but the NFL owners not wanting to upset their racist fans with flag boners is a load of nonsense. Nobody is saying Kaep would be an MVP but he 100% would improve a lot of NFL teams. He's just not talented enough to overcome the black balling.

Did someone tell Harbaugh he is going to die tomorrow? Dude has taken literally every single risk that's been put in front of him so far

Viking(s) Raiders. Can't believe it took me until the second quarter to notice that.

[DanishmadePunk]

Im so glad that Ravens got rid of Flacco. That said, anything other than a loss at KC will surprise me.
