Blah, Blah...or the opposite end ...if Coach GM X didn't take control of the locker room the way they should have, this never would've happened, so on and so forth...EVERYTHING and EVERYBODY has an excuse for why X happened to them...this sense of entitlement to everything...oh, and that entitlement has a time restriction...not only is X person ENTITLED to Y, but he's entitled to it, right now... What the heck happened to people taking responsibility for their own actions?? As we focus back in on AB...when the hell did he ever some out and say "oh, my bad" That 'staged apology' lasted how many hours?? IDK...I'm trying to keep up...I can't tell when AB and the Raiders are 'All Good', and when they are on the outs...it's like a tennis match, haha... Seriously...AB needs to grow up, and realize that not EVERYTHING is about HIM, ALL of the TIME!...what a joke... What the heck happened to this While I *DO* agree with you that our society overly emphasizes and rewards those who utilize victimhood and lack of personal responsibility, it ALSO fails to call out people who are in leadership positions - wait, brag about being in leadership positions - when those they lead underperform or otherwise fail.

Oh, sure...there's lots of issues in today's society, but how does failed leadership come into play IRT Brown? Are we going to continue to blame the Steelers' leadership for AB's behavior?? He just proved that he did this to himself...the Steelers didn't 'coddle' him...the entire NFL, and that includes NFL writers and the fan-base 'coddled' him for 5 years...he started reading his own press, believed he was the greatest thing since sliced bread, and got too comfortable there...that's his problem...not Tomlin or Ben...

Chieferific Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 The Raiders kind of forced his hand when they took away that $30 Million. He wasn't gonna stay after that. I'm not saying the Raiders shouldn't have pulled the money but it was obvious he wasn't going to stay after that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bryant trade on the other hand... Yeah....no one couldve predicted it would fall apart this soon. I thought, AT WORST, Brown would start becoming a problem if Carr wasnt getting him the ball as much as he wanted. Not before even the preseason started. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VigilantZombie Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Its pathetic that NE just keeps doing crap like this and despite acting like a little B AB ends up winning in the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blitzburgh Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Sadly I half believe this was the plan all along to find a way to the Patriots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
