Forgot to subscribe here. Close loss by the Fins. Good thing I got the Ticket this year instead of watching their slop.

Oh and who else picked up Malcolm Brown

According to the suit, Brown sexually assaulted Taylor twice during training sessions in June 2017. First, he exposed himself and kissed her without permission, the lawsuit says. Later that month, the lawsuit says, while they were streaming religious programming on a tablet at his South Florida home, Brown started masturbating behind Taylor and ejaculated on her back. The lawsuit contains images of profane messages that Taylor says Brown sent to her about the incident.

Big Ben was suspended for 6 games and never raped anyone, he was never charged and never questioned but the league still felt to make an example out of him. I'm not sure if AB raped this girl or not, I'm curious what evidence she has to think she can sue in Federal Court. I'm expecting that the league won't do anything and the Patriots won't do anything because Patriots

Marquise Brown was the one everyone fought over. Six out of 12 teams tried to add him. Of course, the guy ahead of me won that. We have a 12 team league with 18 man rosters so most everyone else was already on a roster. Malcolm Brown got fought over by two.

Obviously I sound bias here but with it just being a lawsuit/no criminal charges. It sounds very fishy

Very fishy, especially considering the timing. Hopefully no assault took place at all.

AB has also filed a counter-suit

"Antonio Brown's former trainer Britney Taylor - who filed a sexual assault lawsuit against her former client Tuesday - is willing and planning to meet with the NFL next week, which is as soon as she can, sources tell ESPN. First, Taylor is getting married"

Someone has a wedding to pay for

I'm not so sure that "seems like odd timing" is the right reaction. It's not like he wasn't rich and famous before. Nothing about signing with NE changed his financial or celebrity status in a way that would make her go, "OK now is the time".

That being said, as with all these things we need to let the process work and investigate the evidence.

I had Henderson who apparently is #3 on the depth chart so if the game plan doesn't change, it made sense for me. Surprisingly he survived waivers.

Marquise went #1 in my league. I still don't trust B-More after lighting up the worst team in the league.

It also takes months for lawyers to file paperwork in Federal Court

Having been unfortunately very close to a similar situation, coming forward at the time of or close to the actual event is harder than most folks appreciate. Much, much harder. These are horribly complicated events emotionally for the victims, and I understand why it can take years to come forward. That said, taking years makes proving their case really difficult. When these things really do happen, they are no-win situations for the victims.

We'll just have to see where the evidence takes it.

Especially to only need FG range... A touchdown would have been a little harder to get.

After reading the texts, my brain hurts, but also he admits twice that he did something with her. Wonder if she has more evidence than this...

Waller is a good add though. May outperform Brown.

Does anyone else think the Tampa vs. Carolina game is just really bad? Not that I'm really invested in any outcome, but it's just bad football. Or mediocre if I'm being generous.

It's been a couple days and Antonio Brown has not done anything idiotic yet. It's too quiet.


He's due.

Because Patriots.

Remember: There are rules for every team. Then Pats...where you can horse-collar, trip refs, block videos, cheat and not get fined.

If he was still a Steeler or Raider he'd be on the exempt list, no question in my mind...
