I think Mitch will turn out ok but man, looking back now how bad was that draft day trade Chicago trading up 1 spot for him with Watson and Mahomes still on the board. Yup and not that I was sold on Mahomes, but I was ALL IN on Watson and was so pumped when he landed on a team I actually liked. That'll be what Mitch gets remembered for, unless this defense leads them to a Super Bowl.

NOW they're saying Antonio Brown MIGHT suit up for MNF after giving an emotional apology to his team this morning.
HARD KNOCKS NEVER ENDS.

I don’t like him much at all. He’s the fifth RB on your own team.

Took my 4 year old neice to her very first football game tonight(high school game here in town). I thought she would get bored quick and we would leave early but she had an absolute blast and did not want to leave until the game was over. Spectacular night watching the sun set talking football with my littles. She's going to know more about the game than the boys her age. My goal is to make her like Icebox from Little Giants. :lol: She wants to go see JJ Watt next. I'm eyeing that December 3rd game against the Patriots, that's going to be the one. Been a while since I've been to a high school game. Same head coach runs the team that did when I covered them for the newspaper in 2011-2012 and he still runs the exact same offense, I forgot how much fun it was to watch live, just pure football. But man so many guys walking around with guns strapped to their hips, I was really surprised how many. It's like get the fuck out of here with that bullshit.

Annnnnnnnnd the soap opera continues.
ESPN is reporting that indeed, the Raiders are gonna suspend Antonio Brown.
I guess Mayock didn't buy in to the apology.

I enjoyed the Packers/Bears game. I'm not sure I'd want a Superbowl like that but I have no issue with a defense-dominated game.
Packers will have a good season I think. Pass rush looked amazing, they did a great job against the run, and the secondary was pretty phenomenal too although Trubisky did have his chances. Once the offense improves, they'll be legit. That was a quarterback that was ice-cold having played no pre-season football with his new coach. It'll get better.
I'm willing to let Trubisky lean on that also, but it's a fucking enormous game for him next week against a Broncos defensive line that will be looking to scare the pants off him. It's not like he has to become Mahomes. Just tidy up his nonsense and make some big, unconventional plays. That's what he is and all he needs to be on a team with a sensational defense. Seriously, how many play-makers do they have? Roy Robertson-Harris looked like a monster in the first portion of this game, he's another you can add to the list. Scary, scary defense.

This AB shit is out of control.
Now he posted a video of a private convo with him and Gruden. This dude lost his mind. Honestly, maybe he didn’t. Maybe he’s just always been a POS diva.
Are his antics worse then TO and Randy? I don’t know. Randy quit on his team, the Raiders funnily enough. But this is bad.

That video was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Looks like some Sopranos ending scene with the black and white picture and overdramatic cuts and music. I began laughing when Brown responded back to Gruden trying to pep talk him, Gruden sounded like his MNF self. The cuts of him being a loving husband and father when he was responding like he's showing the world he's a great humanitarian was so over the top and hilarious.
I have to think ESPN is paying Gruden and Brown millions to have this story explode the way it did because Broncos and Raiders will easily be the most watched game on the doubleheader history of MNF since they've been doing this. A case can be made that this game is more highly coveted than Texans vs Saints even though those two teams will probably be in a shootout and may be playing January football games when it is all said and done. This is way too convient for it not to happen like this.
You don't know how many people I would kill to have seen ORaider27s response to Antonio Brown. Keep in mind i faught with him for years over Randy Moss.

Either Brown is going to get himself suspended and eventually released, or he’s going to score 3 touchdowns on Monday. There’s no in between.

Well now Brown says the Raiders voided the guaranteed in his contract so he refuses to play.
Seems easy enough to just let this end now, have him be someone else’s problem.

They voided his guaranteed money on his contract. They fined him $215,000. This dude is on a week to week contract now, like a regular person. This is absolutely insane.
Listen, good for Mayock for standing his ground. You can't be a rookie GM and get called a 'cracker' and get threatened to get punched in the face. He stood his ground and even after AB made his 'emotional' apology to the team yesterday; he couldn't help himself by posting a video of a private convo with Gruden. This shit is insane. Now he wants off of the Raiders.
This Antonio Brown stuff has literally took over the off-season. Moreso then Zeke and MG's holdouts did.

If they were taking away his guaranteed money they should’ve cut him immediately after, not expected him to play without it.
Suddenly puts a lot of the stuff since that fine letter in perspective since the first time was apparently enough to void 30 million in guaranteed.

Well I don’t work in a dangerous environment and no one guaranteed to pay me 30 million, so I’m not sure that me doing it to my employer is really a good example. Sports business and the real world aren’t particularly similar. Now imagine you missed work one day, your boss fined you five figures, and your agent let you know that because they’re enforcing the fine your boss can now take away the 30 million dollars they promised to pay you months ago. I cannot imagine you just smiling at the boss and showing up to work the next day. I’d rather gamble that Brown will be picked up by someone else than take Latavius Murray.

Obviously, I'm joking on the Latavius Murray thing. We both know Latavius > AB right now.
BUT....
Yeah, I can see this on both ends. Both sides are right in their actions, but both could also be looked at as wrong.
Altogether, it's just a mess of an organization right now.

They can't send his ass anywhere. He will go where he wants to go now.
Heck, if he's smart, he does a 1 year contract and joins the Patriots ASAP so he can play Pitt Week 1.

He can’t play until Week 2. And I didn’t mean send his ass there as in a trade. I just want them to be the only team interested. Personally he can fuck off out the NFL forever.
