OMG, this crap again.  If you can’t recognize why NE is completely different than Buffalo, I really have no idea what to tell you. 15-17 and Josh Allen vs. 6 SBs, Belichick, and Brady.  AB will be cut if he farts in a meeting.  In Buffalo and Oakland, would have to kiss his butt and he’d still pull crap.  Different leagues homeboy. 

 

This is why I believe “The Process” is a buzzword.

What were they supposed to do?  Let him keep doing dumb things?  They were dumb for trading for him and giving him a contract in the first place. 

agree on being dumb to trade for him

 

however once they had him and he made a joke of them, they had other options besides rewarding his behavior by giving him what he wanted

 

they could have suspended him.

 

They could have also worked toward making him sit the entire season without pay.

 

instead they just showed every player that accountability and their rules dont mean ***** which is never a good thing for any organization...

 

so yeah they made a dumb move by trading for him and continued to make dumb moves

I'm sorry, but you will never convince me that there wasn't some kind of tampering involved here before Brown was released. 

 

Definitely some back-channel stuff happening.  I mean, he wasn't even eligible to talk with other teams until 4:00pm.  You are telling me that that Pats* and Brown wee able to draw up a $15 million contract that was agreeable to both parties, get the papers sent and signed, etc. in 45 minutes?  Come on now.  This absolutely stinks or collusion, tampering, cheating, and whatever else you want to call it. 

 

You all know what is happening next, right?  Gronk is going to be coming out or his "retirement" in the next week or 2 to just top all this crap off.

 

That said, I just picked up Gronk off the waiver wire in my fantasy league to pair with Brown and Brady who I already had..... May as well get something good out of this garbage.

 

That part is apparently outdated.   A new rule this year allows discussion basically as soon as the player is informed.

For the first time in my life, I want to hear about an NFL team's plane crashing. This league is totally *****.

You just know he's gonna be fine in NE. They might not win a SB this year, but they will probably clobber the Bills twice given the talent there.

Buddy, if karma were real, there wouldn't be a building in Boston holding 6 trophies.

In theory, the same thing could happen in Buffalo.  Just need an all time great qb.

Really not that big of a surprise.  Also, is Antonio going to change his act?  Tomlin pacified alot of crap that imo Bill will not.

Sorry I grew tired of batting you around like a ball of string and went for a ride.

 

Hes made 70 million.  He didn’t want to play with Derek Carr. He gave up money to get out.  It’s been done before...

 

 

Exactly, it was basically a temper tantrum to get what he wanted. What WR wouldn’t want to play on the Pats? 

[stinky finger]

Well, it's not like I can HATE them anymore than I already do.

Disgusting. Sickening.

 

I have a strange feeling he won't get suspended now that he's in NE.

 

This might be the final straw for me with NE. I don't know that I can watch anymore. If they have success, everyone's level of hatred of them will reach unprecedented levels. Pure disgust.

I don't see how this is acceptable to the NFL? This is about as premeditated as it gets. Utterly disgusting how players can manipulate the system to their hearts content. How other owners aren't up in arms about this is amazing.

AB should be suspended by the league for threatening Mayock.....so now that just goes away?

I mean, did you think they weren’t going to beat us twice?  I just pray he’s really crazy and destroys that lockerroom from the inside.

Even if that is true, this still happened extremely fast.  I am convinced Brown knew what was happening all along and was doing everything in his power to get released.  He finally found something that worked and here we are.

Other teams could have signed him. I really don’t get why people get upset by this.

Hopefully he is a genuine head case.. lots of energy spent on this manuever , maybe wishful thinking , but would love to see this blow up in the Pats face.. to say the least.. If Kraft  gets another Lombardi as a result , then his blue balls will be healthy 

[Herc11]

First the Raiders give the Pat's Moss for dirt... now they give them AB for nothing. The f'n Raiders keep screwing everyone else over with their dysfunction.

[oldmanfan]

So what?  Go kick their ass anyway.

I’m surprised the NFL doesn’t make an exception for Brown so he can play against them Steelers this week.  It’d be a ratings goldmine
