What could go wrong.

A profanity-laced diatribe at Tom and/or Billy followed by a rage-kick of the football...then threat to fine and suspend...then tearful apology...then Instagram idiocy of taped phone call with Billy...then...fine and waive of $15M...then diatribe on social media to be released and um, next sucker team?

Steelers fans are idiots, however. They all loved the guy while he was with them and only started ripping him up once he left and claimed they "knew" he was trouble. The reality is that this was actually a relatively smart move by the Raiders in that it was a practically no-risk deal. Yeah, they gave up a third- and fifth-round pick for him, but given the potential upside, that's basically nothing. The fact that they got that moron to sign a contract where they paid him $0 is hilarious and genius. Also, the fact that they had the balls to follow through and release him is great.

On the other hand, Josh Gordon plus Antonio Brown is going to be a problem for the rest of the league. However, if they destroy the team from within, it will be awesome.

It sounds like Bill really want AB back in March. Reportedly offered Pittsburgh a first round pick

Now the pats got him for free and if he signs with a different team next year, the pats get a 3rd round pick as compensation lol

Yup. Someone's agent had to be talking to someone's front office long before and had the deal ready to sign.

Leave it to week 1 to be a stupid-weird fantasy week.

Mahomes and McCaffery can't keep the pace they had last year? Not so much. And Lamar Jackson...wtf. And Ekeler? Watkins? Prescott? Of course I have none of them.

And I'm fully convinced now Brady is in league with the devil. Or a local witch.

Well, Pats' cheating was clearly working, Ack. You can't beat such stacked odds. I'm surprised Brady didn't get any roughing passer penalties called for him for anyone daring to just look at him.

Richard Mille probably gave him the watch, will pay for the fine and enjoy the millions in free advertising they got over the weekend

That is very true too. Though, what is he advertising?

Pretty much 99.9% of the population could never come close to a Mille timepiece.

It's certainly hard to put pressure on TB12 when his O-Line holds on every down and doesn't get flagged for it...

So, Mille was advertising for the 1-4 people in the stadium who could buy it. Nice.

I can almost hear Mike Ditka rolling his eyes at Beckham all the way out here. His antics might be more tolerable if the Browns didn't completely crap the bed. Maybe win first, then watch.

Could AB actually be genius? This entire circus was a carefully planned and masterminded act to get him out of the shithole that is Oakland and into a team like the Pats....sure, there's no long-term deal, but if he takes a ring with the Pats...could mean big time guaranteed money and more rings to come.....

No, he's an idiot. He left 21 million guaranteed on the table. His agent is definitely smart and was able to turn vinegar into honey. It definitely sounds like this deal was in place and agreed upon before AB's release which is shady, but Patriots gonna Patriot. Either way, no way AB orchestrated this or planned this to this degree, he was lucky that his agent was good with the damage control and knew a team like the Pats would pick him up.

I'm sure Brady wants to take back his offer to let Brown sleep over at his house now.
