Correct me if I’m wrong but I remember during the Original AB “drama” and trade to Oakland, you cheered about the players having the “power” to decide their own fates.

Uncle Buck Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 1 minute ago, RuskieTitan said: You act like he's not going to get another contract next year for some reason. Once he gets that deal, he'll be right back where he was if he stayed with the Raiders. What if he gets hurt? What if he continues to act like a total buffoon and the rest of the league finally decides he isn't worth it? This is a bad gamble. The smart move is to take the $30M you already have guaranteed with the Raiders. It's a stupid gamble - lots of possible risk with not much upside if any.

He basically got an extensive offseason, and plays a damn good villian. If his body and feet were indeed beat up he got everything he needed. Now he's got a one year prove it deal with decent money on the contender. It is a Business we will see in time whether he made a good business decision or not. The acting like Andy dufrain when getting released by the raiders is him working on a second career as far as I'm concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INbengalfan Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 The whole episode is sad, and really, if you want to blame anything, blame the NBA. NBA players have manipulated their personal benefits over competitive balance for several years. NFL players want to do it now, but the rules are harder to manipulate. All of this just proves that the NFL just took another step closer to becoming the WWE of actual sports. The rich get richer. AB can act like an *** and actually end up being rewarded for it. he couldn't force a trade to his preferred destination, but his actions got him exactly what he wanted. And lucky for all of us, an entire nation of teens took notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soggust Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 As an AB owner in both of many Fantasy leagues and a Chiefs fan, I can not describe how amazing the past few days have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the GMs job across all leagues to build competitive teams with the resources they have available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he went to a big market team, ruled the headlines on a day that saw countless college football games and Serena Williams lose in the US Open Finals, so the league could care less. If he signed with Buffalo, they'd probably decide to suspend him for the threats and racial slur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't care where he went but do hope we knock him out when we play. Game went from Pats beating the Raiders to Raiders taking shots on Brown. Ravens/Steelers type of game. Bountygate part 2 EDIT: I think Willie McGuinest will tell Brown what is expected and let him know the score. Since when has Brown adhered to authority? Bill isn't Gruden though. He's not going to coddle him, or be a yes man for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're a mid-tier market like Atlanta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
