But I will say that if what he says is true then it's gonna be a big problem for Brady's relationship with Arians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanSlim Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Whenever something like this happens, I’m always like “NFL Films release the tapes”. I know they have to have extended footage and/or mic’d up sideline from the Arians/AB interaction. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt they'd lie about an MRI that wasn't even read by him. As much as I don't like AB, he's probably in the right on this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may be some truth in it though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I don't like AB, he's probably in the right on this one. Eh his description could be loose bodies in the ankle. Which would require surgery in the off-season but also would have been able to play through. The problem with stating there was a missed associated fracture (called Maiasoneuve fracture if ppl want to Google it) is that players usually can’t weight bear. AB being able to play well doesn’t really fit. 3 inconsistencies with his take: -Missed fracture doesn’t present like this as covered above - AB saying he was unaware of pain killer effects. Come on. - As covered before, his exit. If it’s really as bad then his lawyer as alleged, they will release the full report. And they can compare it to the original MRI (with report) from the week of injury. If the reports don’t get released given AB’s past history of getting caught making outright lies to defend himself (vaxx being the last one), I’d take everything said here with a huge grain of salt. The longer it goes with no report the more likely it’s total spin off more inocuous findings (and still could need off-season surgery - so that’s not a sign AB’s take has merit). Remember this is a statement meant to sway public opinion. Embellishing the report out of context is par for the course. If it is as bad as AB’s lawyer says the actual report will get released (there’s no privacy angle since he’s already talked about it now). As always wait for the actual facts to come out.

CKSteeler Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Is the statement he issued from the same lawyer who claimed Brown was vaxxed and could prove it? Anyway, Ben Roethlisberger clearly called Bruce and told him to force Brown to play hurt. Then they both laughed maniacally before telling each other they love you and hanging up.

brownie man Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 He was on the injury report that week Once I heard that I mean its alot easier to side with AB. I mean this is what got Kawhi to Toronto. I believe AB that if he's hurt he's hurt. Knowing AB if you gonna cut him on the sideline you should expect an outburst. That's part of the experience. I think once its said and done AB is going to win whatever this end up being. If a player tells you hes too hurt you can't tell him to go back in NFLPA has it set up that way. Teams ain't winning that one. I wish Baker would've said he was too hurt to play this year smh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT14 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I would probably believe this a lot more if it wasn’t AB so it is skewed some. I won’t completely rule it out. that said it never should have come to this. He should have been done after the vaccination card debacle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iknowcool Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) It is possible, very possible, that AB is lying. But it also would not surprise me that the Bucs/Arians may have tried to make him play on an ankle he was telling them wasn't allowing him to play at 100%. Not to say Brown handled it well. Obviously he didn't. But considering the culture of football combined with Brown already being on a tightrope with Arians, his story doesn't seem like a stretch. I'm sure we'll find out soon though. I'd imagine the NFL has to get involved at this point, considering what is being accused. Edited January 6, 2022 by iknowcool 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a plausible story. But AB... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
