Lot of money so the "discovery" part of the trial didn't happen.

Yeah, I’d bet it’s around or north of 50mil to Kaep and then another large sum to make sure all of the findings (of which there must be plenty if the NFL settled and paid for secrecy) stayed private.

Re: NFL Off Topic

What is Brown’s endgame from doing this? He has to know that this doesn’t help him out at all by taking this public.

Unless he thinks it’ll accelerate his trade request.

Feel like he's more salty then anything. I don't doubt Ben isn't easy to get along with. But airing out your dirty laundry is never a good idea.

What a loser. I hope the Niners don't get this guy.

Re: NFL Off Topic

Yeah, some people have said that Ben isn't exactly a saint out there and can be a pretty mean so and so to his teammates and coaches. The thing is, Brown should keep that to himself rather than airing it out for the world to see. He better hope he gets traded.

Either way, the guy is no innocent either in all this crazy drama.

Re: NFL Off Topic

Dude has been QB’ing the Steelers since Antonio Brown was 16 with two rings and an eventual HOF bust to show for it. I’m not shocked he walks and talks like his **** don’t stink.

I think Brown’s goal here is to simply expose Ben as not the good guy who just wants the team to succeed as he’s painted himself. He’s selfish too. When Brown or Bell (and I bet treatment/opinion of Bell has something to do with this) buck, they’re ostracized. Ben’s had some off the field field drama, and he’s still around.

I don’t agree with Brown’s tantrums and I don’t think being a prick like Ben is the way to carry yourself either. Two wrongs don’t make a right. But now that we’re here, all bets are off.

I don’t particularly like players who are being paid handsomely to force their way out because their feelings are hurt, but teams never give two ****s when they need to save some dollars so I’m not over here shedding tears for the Steelers or any NFL franchise. They’ll get something good in return for Brown or they’ll dig in and play without him like they did with Bell.

Both are clowns for a variety of reasons. Screw the two of em and the Steelers too while we are at it.

With saying this, he is forcing a trade. There is no way Ben let's him back in the locker room after that. It probably hurts his trade value, but not sure how much value there is to begin with for a trade.

Re: NFL Off Topic

According to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle, all-time stolen base leader Rickey Henderson was being pursued by Raiders owner Al Davis, before his baseball bosses picked off the idea.

“When Bo Jackson first came into the league, I went to Al Davis to go play football and he was going to let me be a two-way player,” Henderson said. “The Oakland A’s said, ‘Oh, no way. You’re not going out there. That’s not going to happen.’

“That was my chance, and I missed it. I always used to tell Bo [Jackson] and Deion Sanders, ‘I could have done that, played both sports, but the A’s said they weren’t going to let me.’ That was my dream.”

Re: NFL Off Topic

With Rickey's speed I could see him being a shutdown corner back in the day. What was his position in football?

Re: NFL Off Topic

Raiders seem likely to return to Oakland for their final season before the relocation to Vegas in 2020. Lease still being negotiated reportedly includes a contingency to play at the Coliseum in 2020 also if there's any delay w/ the Vegas Stadium which remains on track to open next summer.
