I think it's more about consistency - don't say everything is cool, we have your back, then two weeks later act like it was beyond the pale. Even at the last minute Gruden was acting like being secretly recorded was cool and funny, right before they fined him. 

I think any team can reach a breaking point with someone like AB but he makes a very good point that the Raiders said they supported him and then after all the drama and him finally seeming set to go week one, they drop a fine on him for some shit that was weeks ago and say it voids his guaranteed money. It was a very…

IIRC Marino was retiring going into the game.

Kenny Stills got to bail by calling out the owner for being a Trump stooge. No frostbite needed. 

“Dolphins head coach Brian Flores declared on Friday, ‘I have a good team.’”

Haven’t seen a dolphin massacre like this since I was last in Japan.

AB is great and all but do we really believe he can deal with Belichick telling him he is trash? he does it to everyone on the team. I don’t know if his fragile ego can handle it. Belichick isn’t Tomlin or Gruden. he won’t put up with AB’s shit no matter how productive he is. 

No, AB really is an ass. 

Everyone involved in this saga on both the Steelers and the Raiders feels like a character in a Christopher Guest movie.

What did we all learn from this fiasco? It’s unclear, but to quote J.K. Simmons’s character in Burn After Reading, “I guess we learned not to do it again.”

I haven’t been this proud to be Canadian since the 2016 US presidential election.

Looks like he took Gruden’s career advice to heart!

This is fake, right? I am reading The Onion now, aren’t I?

Erratic behavior, change in personality, impaired judgment, impulse control problems, aggression. I wonder what could have caused all this?

As others have suggested, yeah the Raiders come off as hilariously incompetent pedants here. It was never worth risking what Brown could do on the field just to prove some This Is Football points by fining him after it seemed they were on the way towards a potentially happy reunion. But... reserve the language of…

J! E! T! S!

To be fair, he did warn us yesterday that there would be no more games.

I’m a Chiefs fan and I’m shocked he didn’t get any suspension at all.

Tyreek had about 1600 all purpose yards and 13 TD last year. Ray Rice had 980 yards and 4 TD his last year in the league.

I don’t want to carry water for the NFL’s broken and ridiculous kangaroo court, nor do I want to be carrying water for potential domestic abusers, but I am also reticent to convict and ban people from employment without hard evidence.
