Quite frankly I was hoping for AB to kill the team from the inside out. They were good without him. I dont expect this to change things much. The dude needs som psychological evaluation before thinking about football. 

This is 100% what I thought too. I'm actually sad that they dumped him so fast.

Only 2 scummy teams left are The cowgirls and The foreskins

 

You underestimate the level of scum in the NFL. Why the Bengals (Mixon and previously Pac Man Jones, Hill and Burfict) and Chiefs (Reek Hill and previously Hunt) are perfectly in play.

 

Of course the Browns could add to that building powder keg and Seattle may try to 'Carroll' his talent

We could have seen a repeat of McNabb/Owens then if he stuck around.

 

For those not familiar....

6X SB.  

 

New England is much more than Boston proper.  It is a regional franchise.   They have the entire state of Mass, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, And half of Connecticut (other half is Giants).  Plus the fans that root for perennial winners.  

 

I travel to those states often and the fans are spoiled.  It hard to have a conversation about sports with the locals unless you want to pay homage to their teams.  

 

 

You mean all the Chowd territories...

Owens was a headcase as well, but I don't remember him having the off the field issue like Brown. With that being said, social media has come a long way since then.  You can barely rake a piss in public before half the world knows these days.

a couple of thoughts Ive not read the complete thread to know if these came up  but how many hours until AB plays the "Im a Victim" card it wouldn't surprise me in the least.

 

Secondly has his agent Rosenhaus chirped in yet at all? There goes HIS money down the drain too If Im not mistaken..... im still not convinced he gets paid his full or even part share in a situation like this...…not that he being paid anything I'll lose sleep over but at least in His job was he royally screwed over by his client Antonio? Im thinking if Antonio doesn't get paid the agent doesn't either I don't know if anyone knows how those commissions work especially not knowing all the verbiage in his contract...…..

He's basically said they're excited to find another team for him to get kicked out of...I may of ad libbed some of that.

I hope Seattle passes on him. I genuinely like Pete Carroll...he doesn't deserve this crap. At this stage of his coaching career...don't do it Pete!

Given how quickly it happened, it certainly seems there were some "discussions" going on between the league (Goodell) and the Pats (Kraft).  Wonder if it had more to do with how AB and the Pats played this, as opposed to AB's off-field issues?

Goodell said " if you keep him, no more preferential treatment for the Pats".

Looks like Ryan Leaf was right after all.

Those that discounted RLs comments were not exercising their brains, RL lived that shite, and recovered, he spoke from personal experience.

I think that after a few days the Pats probably realized just how crazy Brown really is. You can't have a guy who is flat out certifiable on your team. I do think Brown has a good case for getting paid though. He may have done or said (and written) things that brought him into disrepute in the eyes of many but I don't see how it reflected on the team. Also, as has been mentioned, the behaviour that voids the guarantee has to be prospective, meaning post signing. I don't think the Pats could reasonably argue that they thought they were employing a choir boy with no skeletons in his closet. That Brown came with substantial baggage should have been well understood.

A handful of us backed Ryan Leaf up, seems to have really learned. His 30/30 or Football Life documentary is excellent btw.

 

Odd when Ryan Leaf backs up our opinion, and makes the Patriots look bad at the same time.

 

For everything there is a season, and the seasons, like the tide is turning.

 

I hope that through this whole circus show, Buffalo is only focused on the Bengals.

Picking up what your putting down,  I suspect SM is drilling that very message into them every day.

 

Go Bills!!!

I don't think so, he has been pretty quiet and good since joint them

 

I think it has more to do with the recent allegations made against him. On Monday the league spoke to one of the accusers, another allegation came out later this week. I think the Pats have been notified that he was going to be facing some discipline so they got out of the deal.

Maybe he has been keeping a low profile as you suggest. But then the question remains "does he get paid?" A league suspension would void the guarantee, but if none is forthcoming then I think he gets paid. I guess we will just have to wait and see.
