I've said this numerous times, HOF talent but a 10 cent brain.
This guy really squandered his chances of a great career after football.

What a waste.

from cbssports.com:

After three short months, it appears that Antonio Brown's time as the owner of the Albany Empire has come to an end. Actually, he still technically owns the team, he just doesn't have a league to play in after the National Arena League (NAL) terminated the Empire's membership on Thursday.

The league took the drastic measure after Brown refused to pay money that he owed to the NAL.

"After exhausting all avenues, the NAL board of owners have decided unanimously to terminate the membership agreement of the Albany Empire," the league wrote in a statement." The decision was reached after an emergency conference call of the members in good standing to discuss the Empire's failure to pay their league mandated and overdue assessments."

There are seven teams in the league and each team is responsible for paying one-seventh of the league's operating budget. Apparently, not only did Brown fall behind by two payments, but he refused to pay up after he was hit with a $1,000 fine for some comments he made about the league.


"After acquiring the Albany Empire, new team owner Antonio Brown paid the Empire's April assessment," the league said. "The team then failed to make their May 15th assessment payment and last week just before the Empire's game in Orlando, the league was notified that the April assessment was being challenged."

Brown's accountant, Alex Gunaris, told the NAL that the former NFL receiver probably wouldn't end up paying what was owed. At that point, the league gave Brown until noon on Thursday to make the payment. When the money didn't show up, the league decided to terminate Albany's membership.

"Unfortunately Mr. Brown has failed to meet the deadline to his teams required financial obligations, and as a result the league has terminated his membership Agreement," the league said in a statement.

I liked this one, where when talking with a reporter about playing in a game for the team he questioned if "AB" the owner would pay him, as apparently he has stated in the past that "AB" the owner and Antonio Brown, the player were two different people
