How Much Of A Dumb Dumb Did Antonio Brown Wake Up Feeling Like This Morning?
Antonio Brown this morning
Talk about an all-time backfire, right? You think about how the last 72 hours have transpired. AB gets released by the Raiders and then immediately signs with the Patriots. Just a day after getting picked up by the Pats, he watches New England go out there and make the Steelers look like an FCS team without him. The Patriots don’t need him. He could just be sitting there on the sidelines all season long and they wouldn’t miss a beat. For a guy who has made a habit out of putting his own best interests in front of the team’s, that has to sting a little to realize that he’s a non-essential.
But to help soothe that wound a little, the Raiders opened up their season last night against the Broncos. Maybe at the very least, Antonio Brown could watch how leaving the Raiders would cause that team to implode and look completely lost out there. The only issue is…well…
The Raiders don’t need AB either. They’ll just plug some dude named Tyrell Williams into that #1 receiver role and he’ll go out there and have 6 receptions for 105 yards and a touchdown. And on top of having to watch the Raiders not miss a single beat without him out there, he also had to endure some ruthlessly vicious burns from the crowd.
So his new team doesn’t need him. His old team doesn’t need him. Even the Buffalo Bills who he only spent like 47 seconds with pulled off a win this week. His last name rhymes with Clown. And the only team out there that seems like they could really use the services of a talent like Antonio Brown right now? The Pittsburgh Steelers. If I were him, I’d just consider retiring right now. Hang ‘em up for good. Or maybe fuck around for a few weeks and try to rot the Patriots’ locker room from the inside-out a little before you finally call it quits. Knock on wood if you’re with me.
