Yes.  For the contract to be valid, the player has to report to work.  Events unfolded fast, and I guess Antonio’s representatives didn’t get a chance to intervene effectively on this, but when he requested a release and it was granted by the Raiders, that’s pretty above-board and hard to characterize as unfair.

I’m not sure I’d consider this “the Raiders snaking their way out of paying him guaranteed money.” There is not a contract out there with guaranteed money that doesn’t have a clause(s) that outlines some form of conduct guidelines, refusing to play, retirement, etc. The guaranteed money is just there to cover a player…

I dunno, man. I hope I am, but I dunno.

No conspiracy theories necessary, the people who carry water for him are just so entitled and idiotic that they just make crazy demands and sane people just get out of the way.

Yes, it’s Mike Mayock! The football sensation that’s sweeping the nation! Only $14.95 at participating stores! Get one today!

Aww man, I was excited to see Brown run forty yards downfield then thirty-five yards back to catch Carr’s deep ball.

The best part was when he did THE SAME FUCKING THING in the 4th quarter when they’re driving to cut it to a one score game.

My other favorites - we are now further from Star Wars than Star Wars was from The Wizard of Oz (and next year will be the same distance as Star Wars was from Flash Gordon) and we are further from the start of World War II than World War II was from the end of the Civil War.

+1 Wilde stuff, man

That can’t be right. It came out while I was in high school and I’m only...oh, fuck...

Here’s another one, if they make a new Indiana Jones and keep the time consistent, it would take place in 1974. (It’s been 38 years since Raiders in ‘81, which was set in 1936).

Yeah IP lay this game too. I realized the other day, it’s now been longer since Star Wars Eps. I as it was from Empire Strikes Back to Eps. I

My favorite way to feel old. Like we're now at equal distance between the present and "The Matrix" as Matrix was to films like Rocky II, Alien, and Kramer vs Kramer.

Here’s a game I like to play to torture myself. It’s now longer since Dumb & Dumber came out than it was from Dumb & Dumber to when MASH (the movie) came out. 

“That poor butter-fingered guy is sophomore quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson, who was named the team’s starter earlier this week.”

the preseason conversation around the team focused on significant improvement from last year, with some promises of an offensive explosion.

I don’t understand why we need to know about every terrible team a guy has played for. Yeah, some guys played for the Bucs, others played for the Raiders, I think some even played for the Browns, but do we really need to know those things? No! We don’t. We don’t need those things thrown in our faces. We don’t need the…

Can’t believe he openly talks about playing for the Buccaneers...

She’s not wrong though.
