Búfalo Blanco Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) Maybe during a December home game at halftime? In a blizzard? Edited March 8, 2019 by Búfalo Blanco 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Bills Fan Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Everything he reported looks to be true. It got squashed by AB in the end. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Nah -- these guys are never held to any standard of accountability. He'll just say that AB nixed the deal, or the two sides couldn't agree on a new contract. The story will be forgotten by this afternoon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefenseWins Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I just basically said the same thing in the AB thread. Seems like very half-a$$ed reporting to report a "done deal" and not confirm it with AB first. Who the hell were Rappaport's trusted sources on this?

Max Fischer Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 So, Rapport got the scoop that the Bills and Steelers had agreed to a deal. Which part did he get wrong? The only caveat might have been that AB is a bit of nut and it's possible he would not play for Buffalo. Otherwise, Rapport was correct. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I’ll give you this, OP. Your thread is a lot more fun than some of the whining self flagellation we too often see on this board when things go wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george c Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Maybe the OP should be drawn and quartered for posting this garbage before getting all of the facts.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
34-78-83 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Not sure when he (Rap) became credible as compared to Shefter... Shefter is the only one I believe on substantiated rumors. Has he ever been wrong on one? Sounds like the Bills kicked the tires and Pit like the potential offer (probably a swap of 1sts) more than most of the other offers, so an agenda got pushed.

TC in St. Louis Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Sounds like Brown didn't want to be on the Buffalo Bills. That's fine. Next. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, what Rapaport reported was correct. Mebbe the Steelers were the ones to call him, probably hoping for one last offer out of left-field?

Pete Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 It sounds like Rappaport got the story right, the deal was in place, but AB negged it because AB is a B word https://deadspin.com/antonio-brown-is-still-a-steeler-because-he-didnt-want-1833149206 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelingOnYouboty Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Ian Rapaport was correct. Adam Schefter was correct. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
