One time I chirped back "white and proud of, is that a problem". I didn't call them names, so not sure why they were blasting me. What part of LA did you grow up in ?? dont tell me the valley, westside or the southbay ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
League_Champion Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Mayock looks soft and weak after this. AB is gonna walk all over him, even more. AB is the alpha male in that room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL ! ! ! Again if you think this is a win for you team then I guess you're the perfect fan for the Raiders organization. The right thing would have been not to let AB think he can do whatever he wants without consequences. The only ones with eggs on their faces are the Raiders. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived for 12 years (70-82) in the city of Los Angeles, near Glendale, neighborhood of Glassell Park, attended LA City Schools. The gangs had kind of died out but there were many who thought they were tough. One time in gym they wanted to play tackle football (on asphalt) and then picked teams with all of them against the rest of us. When the coach walked by and one of the kids mentioned we were playing tackle, he was real pissed and ready to bust some of their heads. I was born in Gary IN (moved to LA at age 5) not sure that I'm proud of it but that is my birthplace. I've lived in Northeast Ohio for the past 37 years, the vast majority of my life. I like it here, LA is too crowded and full of fake people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gourdeau Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Good to see AB doesn't think it was a big deal and good to see he's taking responsibility for his actions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplemonster Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Well I thought he had taken a swing. If so I didn't think there would be any reconciliation. But I guess it was only a threat to punch Mayock lol. Hey Gruden, do what you have to do to get some wins. I think Gruden is concerned about looking like a doofus this early in his tenure. He's already been a slight punchline and this would just make it worse. I just am not expecting anything good here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, Antonio Brown is the best player on the Raiders 53-man squad Didn’t he have a hard line against Mack last year and just let him go (for picks) ? Mack wasn’t a me first guy.

Nostalgia set in and telling an in depth, retrospective story was the only reasonable thing to do. To his honor.

League_Champion Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Twitter › spotrac Spotrac Antonio Brown’s $1M signing bonus was actually two $500,000 workout bonuses that required he attend at least 85% of the offseason program. He didn’t, so he’s already lost $500k. If he’s released prior to Week 1, he’ll leave Oakland with $0 cash earned, & $0 dead cap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a clown show. I seriously hope this dude gets some help. He isn't well. I think we can confidently say that AB isn't playing Monday if he is publicly asking for his release. But, hey, at this point I am not sure anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gourdeau Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I'll say 2 things. Knowing what we know now, the Steelers should win a Nobel Peace Prize for keeping a lid on him for the majority of the 9 years he was there. Secondly. We got Devin Bush out of that trade lol. The 20 mil dead money was WELL WORTH IT! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrab Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Guess we all should have known this wasn't over when it was announced he was going to play yesterday. Does make me wonder did they not tell AB they were voiding it, did he not believe them, or understand this was possible after he sat out most of training camp? Drew Rosenhaus has not explained it to him? Where is Carr4MVP to give us the real scoop base on his vastly superior knowledge of the inner workings of the Raiders? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But... @Carr4MVP said it was over. I thought he had some sort of inside scoop. After all, he claims that he knows way more about the Raiders than anyone else. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
