Do people really believe that they cut Antonio Brown here? I mean come on, I know they could but why would they? I’m positive they’d rather have a pissed off AB than no AB. I know Mayock and Gruden are dumb but I’d be shocked if they’re that dumb

He only called Mayock a cracker after he was fined. That was a big part of Farris’s point.

Derrius can handle those 12.

Sometimes these things just happen, entirely naturally...

I think the other Pittsburgh thing that people keep leaving out is that there weren’t a ton of skill guys that actually liked Ben. Martavis Bryant, LeVeon Bell, Emmanuel Sanders, Josh Harris and Antonio Brown have all taken public shots at Ben. Todd Haley clearly hated him. Sanders has implied that Mike Wallace didn’t…

Remember last season when all the stories in the off-season were about Ben Roethlisberger getting in shape?

It wasn’t just fining him for missing practice, though that was stupid and led to the blowup last Tuesday or whatever. They had worked all that out! Mayock won the ridiculous manliness contest he was having and got Brown to issue a tearful apology in front of the entire team. He put him in his place, made the guy…

I’d be willing to settle for someone other than me being there.

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…

“No, it’s bullshit. Treat everybody the same. If you’re not gonna show up for work ...”

IIRC Marino was retiring going into the game.

a staggering 18 penalties for 182 yards

I thought Johnny Football scrambled pretty well, but Hue’s coaching just wasn’t up to snuff.   Wait, what’s that???

Browns fans have tempered expectations down to only going 15-1.

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.

No, AB really is an ass. 

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.”
