rajncajn Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 13 hours ago, Brentastic said: Sanity is basically conformity. I wrote that in one of my songs. It seems like AB is sick and tired of conforming the rules and behavior expected of him. I don't know anything about law or depositions. I've been fortunate to have avoided courtrooms and law suits. From a pure human standpoint, however, are you required to answer questions asked of you? No is my answer. If I don't like the questions being asked, regardless of 'why' I don't like them, then I would simply refuse to answer. Right or wrong, seems like he is choosing his own path as destructive as it seems to us on the outside. He clearly is done in the NFL at this point and unless he scales his rebellion way back, he will never return. Seems like he is fine with that. My dynasty teams could use him but we have moved on. That sounds more an excuse for destructive behavior in his case than anything. Non-conformity should never be equated to a lack of sanity. There's nothing at all wrong with being different and marching to your own beat. But that is completely and obviously different from what is going on with AB. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because AB is not conforming to how YOU (and many others) think he should obviously be acting, you and many others question his sanity. You don’t know anything about AB other than what you have read yet y’all are CERTAIN he’s insane or has CTE.

1fastdoc Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Brown needs to hurry up and return to the NFL. Given all the controversy he'll get no endorsements and he's got nothing else going for him. He loves the game and it's the only thing he's good at. C'mon dude, get some humility and get back to work. I'm tired of holding your bench spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a dynasty league and while he's 31, he's still got a few good years of solid production in him. I think the big problem is the leagues ability to punish players without them having a conviction. if he takes the year off and gets that civil suit out of the way he'll be back in 2020.

I haven't said any of the things that you're attributing to me. In fact, this is only the second post I've made in this thread. You're making an awful lot of assumptions, both about myself and Brown. I have no idea if Brown has mental issues or if he's just another prima donna, dbag player. Either way, I stand by what I said. Non-conformity should never be confused with insanity. Not-conformity is a choice a person makes to not be like everyone else. It shouldn't be used as an excuse for destructive behavior. Insanity is a diagnosable medical issue that is not within a person's control. Edited October 6, 2019 by rajncajn 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was just released by somebody in our league this week, which means he's on waivers when they run Wednesday early AM. My team sucks and I'll have first chance, we're a keeper that skews dynasty (5 keepers, no contract/limits) and he could still have some value in the future. Since we have a deep bench I can stash him and its not like that hurts my 0-5 team's chances at anything. I hate having this tool on my team, any Steeler player really, but hard to pass up that potential. If he's not on a team come august 2020 he's not a keeper and it cost me very little. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did anybody want TO when he was doing his workouts on his front lawn. I have the roster spot to waste, the last roster spot in my league is regularly churned over looking for either somebody to help now or in the future. AB fits that role now. There isn't any other great FA that I see at this time, so I'm not wasting anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was fine trading for AB on two of his teams when he pulled his crap at Oakland which are known facts. But now his supposed morals have kicked in and being a Lord, he has to preach to everyone else. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your moral superiority must be a difficult burden for you to bear at times. I have 47 players on my FF team in a league where approximately 750 players are rostered at any given time. I'm not gonna fault anybody for holding onto him or any player to find out if the allegations are actually true and to see if he can get his head on straight enough to be a good player again. I don't see how having him on your fantasy team has any impact on the real world whatsoever. I mean, I wouldn't want him on my team, but I don't see how it's a reflection on anyone simply by holding onto him and certainly not condonement of any sort. You may as well give up on the NFL altogether if your horse is that high. Edited October 7, 2019 by rajncajn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Its a friggin fantasy football team, nobody is actually enabling a player by having them on their roster. This is nothing like whether an NFL team decides to retain the player or not when bad things come to light. All this moral superiority stuff is just trolling by Dopie.
