Character shmaracter... who needs it?

Its amazing, really. I've been following the NFL for half a Century, and one thing about the league that has never changed is that a-holes, mopes, boneheads, goldbricks, and sociopaths somehow end up with bad organizations. The terrible franchises seem to be the ones most prone to falling for the " Physical Talent > Character" fantasy, which almost never works out for the terrible franchise. This is then called "bad luck"

"Antonio Brown is not in the building today. He's not going to be practicing. I don't have any more information. When we do, I'll get it to you. That's it for today."

Not in the building on Thursday, says to me "not playing on Monday", whether he's officially suspended or not.

Guys, shit is getting real.

Wait wait wait I thought Mayock was a genius

In fairness, it seems like a good time to watch him.

Reports that the Raidazz may attempt to void his contact - is too good. FTR

That Burfcit hit screwed his head up man.

Read a lot of speculation on that. Not as bad as the Anquan Boldin hit, but it was a “how is he not dead?” kind of shot.

He doesn’t sound well in interviews - and his latest Instagram message was incoherent - but I’m not familiar with how he sounded in college. “Punch Drunk” seems a real possibility with the hits to the head he’s taken.

There is only one appropriate response to these developments and that is" Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Mu-ha-ha-ha-ha!"

Ah, the Raiders will always be the Raiders. What I wonder is what team would line up to take AB if the Raiders can't handle him.

Try and imagine just deciding that you don't have to come in to work today, just because you want a personal day. You don't tell your boss you're not coming in, you just don't show, and your absence is unexcused.

Then they fine you for failing to show up and do your job and you publicly attack the company. When they respond to this, you threaten to beat up your boss, forcing other employees to physically separate you from said boss.

Q: How long would you keep your job?

Any job I've ever had you'd be fired immediately for doing any of these things.

You know you have hit rock bottom when Ryan Leaf is calling you out. Lol

Impactful words considering the source, I like that he admits he didn't have near AB's talent

Yea, i think he is actually calling college football games. I think i saw him during the Tennessee/Georgia St game. Im glad he was able to get back into football in some capacity.

Antonio Brown called Mike Mayock a “cracker” during Wednesday’s altercation

More details about the Wednesday conversation between Raiders wide receiver Antonio Brown and General Manager Mike Mayock have come to light, including language used by Brown that escalated the situation ahead of Thursday’s reports of a possible suspension.

The conversation came after Brown posted a letter from Mayock informing him of fines for missing practice time on social media and PFT has learned, via a league source, that Mayock told Brown that the team preferred to keep such matters private. Brown then began hurling insults at Mayock that included calling him a “cracker.”

Previous reports also indicated that Brown threatened to punch Mayock in the face during the exchange. Josina Anderson of ESPN also reports that Brown used the word cracker and other “cuss words” during the exchange, but quotes a team source as saying that the altercation never appeared to be spilling from verbal to physical.

“[Mayock] was like, ‘I’m cool, I understand your displeasure,'” the source said. “[Mayock] sort of just like . . . just walked away because he saw it escalate.”
