Honestly, to me, he was buzzed, but did not seem unlikable.

 

No, but he's gone above and beyond in proving that he's unlikeable over the past six or seven years, and to understate it.  Anyone that likes Antonio Brown now deserves whatever he dishes out to them when, not if, it comes at them.

When the original Arena Football League came to Albany, I used to go to Firebirds games.  Even had seasons as part of a group in the mid 1990s.  I haven't been to an Empire game & have no plans to attend. Back in the old original league some players were either ex NFL players or in some rare cases, like Kurt Warner, future NFL stars.  That just doesn't happen anymore in the league the Empire is in.  I remember seeing guys like Art Schlichter, and Browning Nagle (with the Destroyers) play.

You’d work for nothing in here. Yes, you do work at your TBD crafting.

this is as good of an idea as when my cousin bought the local women's pro football team.

lol!  i don't remember the name, but she was the middle linebacker.  my dad was her accountant, and i remember him telling her she would be better driving down the road and throwing her money out of the window.  the team no longer exists.

My friend played for the Albany Ambush in the WPFL in 2006. They made it an entire 3 games before going out of business. The players were never paid (although their salary was only $1 per year; and the players had to pay about $800 in fees to the team each year).

If ever you’re there, the clown population goes up.

I guess it's the old saying any press is good press or something.

Is it really surprising?  Who watches women's anything?

Next to murderers, pedophiles, & politicians, there aren’t Too many worst human beings than Antonio Brown. I wish him the worst. Garbage person.

Reminds me of the time I tried selling shark attack insurance. I guess my jingle wasn’t catchy enough, or maybe it was just the Jeff Tuel endorsement. 

 

 

you denied my claim.  Now i know who to go after, thank you.

 

I hope you are not fast, its hard to run with 1 leg

We’ve already submitted a response to your grievances ,your policy has a provision that excludes Sand Tiger shark bites. They are typically docile and it’s a fortuitous cost, and to remain solvent we do not cover those exclusions. Best regard, Sam’s Shark Insurance.

Bad, bad investment 

 

Good luck with that

You have said that before!   I have provided you my report and it was a great white. the SAnd Tiger shark simply chewed up the toes the great white lost while chomping

 

Ive also provided you testimony from the Hasselhof verifying this!

I couldn't find stats for last year, but it looks like back in 2018 and 2019, they had the best average attendance in the league at around 10,000.

Psstt.. I got video of TBBills tying a bloody steak to his leg before going in the water.  How about a cut of what he paid you for insurance, to give the video to you?
