    Ben took a lot of unfair criticism for the way that the AB saga played out in Pittsburgh. Let's see if Lord Brady gets the same scrutiny.

    Meh. Completely different circumstances. At the time, meaning the end of AB in Pittsburgh, he still had some credibility and was considered, let's say, mercurial, but not a total nut case like he is now following all the crap (time with Raiders, rape allegation, assaulting the mover, fake vax card, walking off).

    Not too mention, the texts that AB shared seemed to show Brady's trainer agreeing to give him what he wanted, so it's hard to see how either Brady or Guerrero wronged AB in the least. They gave him exactly what he asked for. Politely.

    Not exactly sure what Brady would take heat for here.

    As Brady shouldn't. And neither should Ben. AB still had credibility and wasn't considered a nut-case only because Pittsburgh had kept a lid on him for 9 years. The world didn't know about his craziness.

    So, you're saying Brady doesn't deserve any criticism, but yet sarcastically (Lord Brady) want him to get some, because Ben got some, even though you acknowledge the perception of AB is completely different now?

    OK, then.

    AB’s story is bs. Brady is telling people to be compassionate towards him and saying he hopes he gets help. You don’t think Brady wouldn’t know that BA was trying to force him into the game? AB’s whole account reads like a bad movie.

    His younger brother called him out and accused him of quitting on the Bucs and that it was about the incentives and that AB felt he wasn’t going to reach them. But I’m sure the homer AB fans know him better than his own brother.

    Maybe the real account is that AB wanted to go in and Arians wouldn’t play him. That would seem to make more sense.

    Who knows the truth? But why is it in the past 3 years AB is THE ONLY player in the league to have issues like this? Every year there are roughly 1700 people playing in the NFL, but somehow we are to believe that AB is the only one who has trouble with injuries, helmets, disrespect, or the problem du jour.
    The guy is a sphincter. Period.

    :roflmao: Didn't you just say a few days ago, that you took what Rapport said with a grain of salt:shrug: .Personally i dont give a **** abt AB or what he does, i just dont like or agree with the mob mentality where everyone attacks a person with out knowing the whole story .... it doesnt bode well and the mob usually comes out wrong in the long run.. for example just look at the last few months, or few years....

    I don't see how that text with Brady's guy puts anything on blast.

    He starts by saying "If we not going to work together ANYMORE" Those are his words. He then says guy charged him for work He didn't do. What? Dude even says he'll refund the balance, so he didn't even charge him the full amount.

    Someone's throwing stuff to try and make his grievance look good.

    I do think the Buccaneers and half the teams pull crazy stuff with injured players way too much. If the league/players union really wanted to work on player safety, they'd up the roster and allow for more protected players when someone has a legitimate injury, instead of binding the team to carrying on the active roster and having them suit up at less than optimal health. Especially with the added game(s)!

    With the exception of Schefter, I take all of them with a grain of salt to varying degrees but Aditi and Corfona are the ones I’ve talked about most on here.

    Grain of salt doesn’t mean thinking everything is fake news, thats your bag.

    Maybe AB is suffering from CTE? Would not be out of the realm of possibility.

    The truth I saw was that if AB wanted anyone to believe his ankle story, then he shouldn't have been bouncing around on the sidelines, doing jumping jacks in the endzone and running off the field with no issues whatsoever

    there’s only one relevant part to this whole thing and it can’t be defended. Antonio Brown yet once again handled it poorly to say the least. You’re too injured to play? Okay fine. Head to the tub. All he had to do was walk away. Instead of acting like a grown man and taking care of his injury he acted like a fool. Brown has absolutely no one to blame, but himself. He needs to grow up, get help, or both. There’s no defending his childish actions. Pure and simple it’s nothing more than embarrassingly stupid child like behavior by ab yet once again. He’s a grown man and a professional, act like it!

    I don't equate life with football. Do you see me caring about anything someone does outside of the field?

    Only because Ben is a qb. I believe because of what that position is, it requires a different level of leadership than any other position.

    Brady is a leader. Even if it is what happen he won't publicly say anything wrong about anybody regardless of the situation.
