Yep. Owners in these sports make the real bread off the ancillary businesses they establish in lieu of their franchises. Hell Dan Gilbert essentially built his casinos and ticketing business off of the Cavaliers. Only the NBPA is hipped to that game and get a cut of those businesses (the NBA owners can blame Dolan for…

This. Oh so this. In one instance he wants the Machine to leave him alone and let him play basketball yet in another instance he gets offended if the Machine doesn’t pay him enough attention.

That o-line is going to get Watson killed. He took an absolute beating last night.

This guy is an idiot. In every single instance his coach (you know, another New England surrogate) made bone-headed decisions leading to Deshaun having this record. Hell even O’Brien himself acknowledged his fuck-ups in Philly and New England. Oh and the Seattle game is when Watson tore his ACL but not without…

It just may. California is the trend-setter and this vote will shake the foundation of semi-pro collegiate athletics forever.

I wouldn’t call Tomlin an idiot moreso of weak. Neither of them have the power to do anything because ownership is in bed with the Pittsburgh quarterback. Tomlin is toeing the company line. Colbert is an idiot by openly supporting Burger’s position.

Doesn’t matter. He shouldn’t have said it in the first place. Yes we get that there are a different set of rules based on production regardless the profession. That’s common sense. What Brown did was inexcusable. Period. 

And? I can’t stand Brown but this league is so restrictive in player freedom I say bravo to what he and Rosenhaus did. Heck a player can be under a team’s control for up to 8 years (first 5 under the rookie deal and 3 franchise tags) and cut at any time. I don’t feel one bit sorry for the league.

Then it’s on the Steelers for trusting such historical incompetence in the first place. Remember the Raiders is an organization that hired a man who has been out the game for over a decade to run it all, a television personality to assist in picking the players, and the real-life version of Tommy Boy cutting the…

If you’re back don’t you have to come back from somewhere?

How’s that Super Bowl running going Browns fans? Good Lord Mayfield looked clueless at times today. 

This is unmitigated proof that life isn’t fair for us schmucks. We can do everything right for our employer and get jettisoned at a moment’s notice. People like Brown can literally threaten his employer and get rewarded by upgrading his work environment. 

Well it’s coming out now that the $30 million wasn’t fully guaranteed. $14.5 would have been paid if he is on the opening day roster and $15 million if he was on the roster after the new league year starts.

They’ll be fine. NE will add a voidable year to Brown’s deal, making his cap hit around $5 million.

Antonio Brown has won. It’s that simple. To me it’s starting to look more and more like he planned this the entire time. Not necessarily going to New England but to get out of Oakland.

Perhaps but since Brown has a tendency to secretly record folk, no way Belichick and Tommy Boy risk being “figured out”. 

This is what people are missing. Brown and Rosenhaus could have read the contractual language and objected. Brown could have you know showed up for work. I don’t blame the Raiders one bit for this. WTF was they supposed to do? The man was insubordinate and a walking no-call/no-show. He secretly recorded another…

Just be you and don’t infringe on others being themselves. It’s that simple yet so hard to practice.  

More like 2-3. They’re not beating the Super-chargers, the Boys and the Evil Belichicks. 

Couple that with nearly every so-called football prognosticator calling him soft and trash because he has the nerve to actually have an opinion and can properly articulate it. The man hasn’t had an opportunity to play with any top-shelf talent on either side of the ball and has been part of 2 utter dumpster fires.…
