Raiders GM fed up with AB, tells him to be ‘all in or all out’

Sponsors and endorsements will fall by the wayside and what should have easily been a storied career of a 6th round draft choice will dismantle before our very eyes.

I saw somebody already ask the question; if he never plays a down in the NFL again, is he a Hall of Famer? I could've sworn I saw Dave Dameshek say yes. I don't think so.

Ben was the problem? I thought everyone here was blaming Tomlin for being a players coach and not being able to 'control' his diva receiver.

Given the recent developments, I don't know how Tomlin kept him in check this long. But they definitely cut ties at the right time.
 
sad thing is the 1st time he has a 150 yrds and 2 TDs in a game, all is forgotten. lets hope that is what he gets for the entire season.
 
I just read where he recently went to France and purchased a $1 million watch. That's right, a watch for a cool mil. That cat sure knows how to spend wisely.

The entire city of Pittsburgh, a humble place that loves the football, has to feel so damn vindicated while watching all of this

Antonio Brown will probably go on to have another 1500 yard season and all of this will be forgotten but, at the time being Yinzers are sitting around watching all of this with “We been sayin it the whole time” mindsets.. so many vindicated Pittsburgh Dads.

Eh, he needs to get his *** to the facility before anybody starts talking about anything happening in the regular season. And it's also a two-way street as far as getting that 1500 yards. I'm not saying Derek Carr is a bad QB, but let's take a wait-and-see approach before we get too ahead of ourselves here.

Hall of Fame is a popularity vote in many instances. AB is heading for notorious along the lines of Terrell Owens. Owens put up big numbers over a larger number of years but his interaction with other players, coaches and the media slowed his induction to the hall. Not attending the ceremonies and staging his own party elsewhere further divides public opinion. The way AB is going if he does make the hall it could be celebrated with a barbecue at his house as less people want to be associated with him. He has only played 9 years and the last 6 have been statistically high. Compared to a guy like Sterling Sharpe who only played 7 years with two QBs at the start of their careers in Majik and Favre. His career ended at 29 due to a neck injury. AB had a two time Superbowl winning QB from day one of his career.
Who would you consider more deserving. I know I am going SS no question . Many players in todays NFL are putting up huge numbers, Julio Jones, Mike Evans, Mike Thomas and D Hopkins just to name a few. If we were all given the choice between these receivers how many would put AB ahead of these guys?

Talent wise I would put him ahead of all them. His problem is brain damage I think. He has lost all rational thought. He was one of the greatest I have ever seen play.

Sadly, I have to agree. Sad in many ways -- sad the way he quit on this ******* team, sad the way he threw Ben under the bus, sad the way he let this whole thing get to his puny head, sad the way his family is probably suffering because of it -- there are a lot of things about this clown's situation that are sad.

This **** has been going on long before the Burfict hit. The team just kept it all under wraps for the most part.

The "me" first egotistical BS yeah, but the impulsive throwing furniture off balconies and other stuff, that didn't seem to be happening until just last year.
 
Mister Super Bowl Winning Head Coach Michael Vincent Lombardi Tomlin managed to keep AB's Pandora Box from opening too widely.

just sayin

Super Bowl winning Head Coach Michael Vincent Lombardi Tomlin kept AB on the field for all but week 17 last year when he quit on the team. Looks like he is still a piece of **** quitter. Good job Colbert fleecing the Raiders for a 3rd for the helmet-less head case
 
Hitler is the direction you went with this. Um...OK.
 
Remember when they did the first press conference after Brown was signed to the Raiders and Antonio was spouting some **** about how he looked forward to teaching the young guys 'accountability'?

Karma is real. It's ******* REAL.
 
Best thread ever!!

I thought the Raiders were done trading with us since our last WR was suspended by the league, indefinitely, in December. (Bryant)

Now they go back to the well for AB. If he gets suspended, this win just keeps getting better!
 
AB may be worse than TO. For all of TO's locker room nonsense, I don't ever remember him getting in trouble away from the team. Am I forgetting an arrest or something?
