YoloinOhio Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share Posted March 26, 2019 27 minutes ago, Kelly the Dog said: This lends more credence to mine and others belief that Rappaport was actually right. The Bills and Steelers agreed on a trade. Then they had to see what AB may want even though he was already under contract. When Rosenhaus told him about the imminent trade, that was Brown's response. And the deal was sunk. That’s actually what Beane said too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that. But you said city and organization. Seems like one for Raiders and one for Bills. Plus 33% of his contract is in a ***** city, Oakland.

Right - He obviously doesn’t come out and say “it didn’t go anywhere because AB had no interest in negotiating with us,” but it’s clear where it broke down and we can assume the rest from AB’s petty warz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picking the city and organization you work for is a once in a lifetime opportunity for any pro football player... This is a bit of a straw man as I don't know that anyone is arguing whether he has the right to not go to Buffalo. Personally, I lived in Buffalo and left -- and for most of the time, if I had a choice of a job in my field (not that i really have a "field" per se) in NYC or Buffalo, I'd choose NYC. Lately, we've talked about moving to WNY, but that's mostly b/c I've been doing part-time, we're not really taking advantage of NYC anyway, and prices here are exhausting. If I were a football player, I'd like to think I'd pick Buffalo b/c of the community vibe and adulation of fans, but who knows, and unless I stumble upon a reverse Zoltar machine, I'm pretty sure that will never be a scenario :). The issue in this thread is his incessant need to rag on the town, team, and fanbase -- all this after he pretty much won and got all he wanted -- the team, the contract, and everything. It's bizarre, and while we should have a thick skin, it's just plain dumb. Edited March 26, 2019 by thurst44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chill Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) Can’t blame the guy for not coming here. Buffalo is top 3 worse market in the NFL, might be the worse. Plus the economic conditions and high taxes make Western/Northern NY undesirable. This will work out for both parties, obviously he is not a process guy.

It's bizarre, and while we should have a thick skin, it's just plain dumb. I believe it’s not so much about Buffalo as it’s about: 1). We’ve been a bad team 2). The league perception of Allen isn’t close league wide as it is here Brown would have went to Green Bay if they traded for him. Qb and winning are the real ways you build culture. Hopefully, Allen will get there. 2 minutes ago, eball said: Dude, give it a rest. You may not have been as big of a homer, but you're certainly proving yourself to be one hell of a jackass.

Please tell that to the 10 free agents Beane just signed. It's about time we had a GM and HC who actually stood up for Buffalo and rebutted the pot shots. It's a shame many of them come from the team's own fans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree totally. I think in his attempt to disrespect the Bills - he's actually embarrassing himself, causing the reverse effect. In addition, I can't imagine Rosenhaus being too happy he put out audio with him in it. Rosenhaus did a great job talking to this idiot and he's being a consummate professional. He didn't say anything that isn't known or damaging to him but I bet he'd rather not be attached to this nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is NO excuse for Brown to quit on his teammates, coaches, and fans during a playoff run. No excuse at all. It sounds like Brown is competing with Ben for that title and is winning. I wonder what that conversation was about between Rooney and Brown. Brown: Please do not doc me 1/16 of pay because I played hookie due to Ben.

VW82 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 It’s all damage control for his brand at this point.

He definitely wants to make sure everyone knows it was his decision, because he’s childish. And apparently a little embarrassed that he only got a 3rd and a 5th when in his mind he’s the best player in the game. And after obj got a 1st and more a week later. The Pittsburgh media guys are right - he has some mental issues that keep him trying to garner attention any way he can.
