Signing(s): Antonio Brown signs with the Patriots

[Falco Lombardi]

I'm just impressed really.

 

[John Price]

They should just throw an exception and have him play tomorrow. The AB tron blares in the middle of the game. BAH GAWD HE'S HERE

AB ON THE FIELD

 

[BKIslandersFan]

He’s your headache now. Good luck, Bill.

I can't imagine it will be under Belichick.

Also if he could handle Moss he can handle AB.

Brown is the one who made it public by posting the letter on instagram.

Mayock made it public by criticizing him. You and others seem to not understand because you don't have special talent like Brown has.

When you have great talent, you can get away with doing whatever you want and are not treated like a normal person. When you start treating them like a normal person, they will get away from you and find another place to act like themselves.

Patriots now have a WR group of;

Julian Edelman

Josh Gordon (who looked solid when he actually came back as limited as it was)

Demariyus Thomas

annnd Antonio Brown

Not to mention a potential Gronk return and the rookie they have on IR.

It's literally not fair

 

[Josepho]

I'm just impressed really.

The Patriots are just hilarious at this point.

I don't even really care if this basically takes away any chance my favourite team (or basically any other AFC team) had to make the SuperBowl.

People seem to not even remember anyone's bull**** from the past. AB's **** doesn't even rate on the scale. Good coaches will put up with anything if they can win.

Oh it’s another great move from the Pats I don’t think anybody can dispute that. And yeah in the grand scheme of life his issues are not nearly as bad as some currently employed players (in the locker room may be another matter).

But there would be so much finger gnawing if a team like the Chiefs had signed him it’s not even funny - much if it no doubt coming from Pats fans.

 

[The Burdened]

I said no way the Pats sign him.
Oops.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

I hope none of you are surprised be this

not surprised, just disappointed. Assholes get rewarded for being assholes. It’s like the NBA where the players themselves are starting to run the league through social media.

[zombie kopitar]

lol this **** has me cracking up. this is written like an episode of seinfeld. AB with the master troll

 

[Sam Spade]

He was going to end up on a team of thugs like the Chiefs, Jags or Bengals remember?

But wait he completed Belichick’s online behavior school seminar this afternoon so he’s a new, reformed man worthy of the Pats.

A game changing signing no doubt but maybe a few Pats fans can get off their moral soapbox now.

Brown didn't break any laws, he just didn't get along with his boss. It happens.

 

[N o o d l e s]

Lmaoooo wtf

I don’t like this at all but I love it because of how much it’s going to piss off every other fan base. It never ends.

PLUS I’m imagining Brown and Gordon on the outside, White and Edelman in the slot and, Michel in the backfield and a returned Gronk at TE and watching teams try to cover it

not surprised, just disappointed. *******s get rewarded for being *******s. It’s like the NBA where the players themselves are starting to run the league through social media.

If Connor McDavid acted like shit, he would be rewarded too.

When you have special talent, you get special treatment. You can do pretty much anything you want and people do not have the ability to control them. Nobody is going to leave a 1500 yard wide receiver on the sideline because he has bad behavior.

 

[Tecumseh]

I can't imagine it will be under Belichick.

Also if he could handle Moss he can handle AB.

Moss wasn’t an unhinged malcontent like AB is. He was just tired of playing for a team going nowhere being ran by senile Al Davis.

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

Good luck to New England have fun dealing with ab

heard the same things about Corey Dillon, Rodney Harrison, Randy Moss etc

if he ends up like Haynesworth or Ocho Cinco they cut him no questions asked. its no risk all reward

 

[Tuggy]

I still feel like this is a joke thread.

I have zero expectations for this move.

Am I surprised no but seriously how does anybody put up with this guy?

19-0 for reals this time

 

[Scotty Pucks]

New England won the Super Bowl, why even play the season.

I’m an Eagles fan, BTW - so while it’s kinda funny especially for the ridiculous Steelers fans, hey if the Eagles win the NFC, I’m not laughing.

This will be Randy Moss 2.0. Except they may not quite be perfect, but they’ll win the SB.

And that is unfortunate. Having personality doesn’t mean being an asshole. For example, I don’t think PK Subban is an asshole and he has the most personality in the league.

Yup. Shit like this is why people don't watch the NBa.
