Good for Mike Mayock. I keep hearing soundbites of Gruden kissing Antonio's butt so as not to offend him. It's good to see that Mayock had some balls.

You don't make demands as an employee. You make requests, respectfully. Giving an ultimatum to sign a crappy QB to make some political statement is unacceptable, and I hope he stays retired. I'm tired of hearing about him.

Re: Latest in the Antonio Brown saga - he retires...
 

That's not Rappoport's real twitter account, @docmccockiner lol. AB is a clown, no doubt, but this is a fake story.

Re: Latest in the Antonio Brown saga - he retires...
 

I didn't even look at his twitter name. I can never make sense of twitter language, so I generally ignore it. But yeah, I guess that name doesn't exactly look real, lol.

I still hope AB retires, along with all of the other divas who are like him.

Re: Latest in the Antonio Brown saga - he retires...
 

AB hadn't been in his right frame of "mind" in quite a while. He's gone. All the warning signs were there last 2 seasons up in Pittsburgh. Ultimate Diva.

I don't feel sorry for Raider Nation (Gruden) one bit.

Re: Latest in the Antonio Brown saga - he retires...
 

Gruden to AB "Let me tell you about a real player, Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrretttt Favvvvvvre"!

Re: Latest in the Antonio Brown saga - he retires...
 

For all those people who screamed for the past decade that Gruden needed to coach whatever team with a good QB to improve them, we tried to tell you.

Re: Latest in the Antonio Brown saga - he retires...
 

I think that magic Gruden coaching ship left port a long time ago, all that's left now is Chucky in a leaky rowboat.

Re: Latest in the Antonio Brown saga - he retires...
 

He wants the attention.

Entertainment (Hard Knocks) TV.

Re: Latest in the Antonio Brown saga - he retires...
 

Gruden > Raiders > Las Vegas (Billions Of $$$$$$$$) > Antonio Brown > "Hard Knocks" > Antonio Brown antics. Surprised by the "Drama" ? It's the WWNFL!! It's "Entertainment" It's all scripted!

Re: Latest in the Antonio Brown saga - he retires...
 

I doubt it's scripted. He's been going off the rails for a while. Raiders under Gruden are a disaster. They already had Amari. Never threw him the ball. When they did he'd crush it. He never complained. Then they go get this guy.

I'm not drafting anyone from this team. Jacobs will get stuffed in the backfield all season behind that line.

Re: Latest in the Antonio Brown saga - he retires...
 

Derek Carr will be next to get axed in Oakland.

Chucky is turning into Chip Kelly. Trading away elite talent (Mack, Amari) to go get "his type of players".

You aren't winning anything with the likes of AB, Burfict and Igcognito.

Re: Latest in the Antonio Brown saga - he retires...
 

This guy is an IDIOT!

Re: Latest in the Antonio Brown saga - he retires...
 

I don't think Gruden ever had magic. He was at the right place, at the right time.

His claim to fame came in that weird 3 year span between 1999 to 2001 where the NFL was at a historically weak point.

There were no great teams during that 3 year span. The perennial playoff contenders of the 90's decade like Buffalo, Kansas City, Denver, Pittsburgh, Dallas, Green Bay and San Fran were all undergoing management changes, roster overhauls and coaching changes.

The only teams during this 3 year time frame to make the playoffs were the Rams and Bucs. This is why their players are over-represented in the Hall of Fame. At the time those Rams teams looked like one of the greatest all time teams, but they were really just a good team beating up on a bad league. Both of them looked like beatable the few times they were actually challenged by teams that didn't roll over for them.

Quarterbacks Dan Marino, John Elway, Warren Moon, Boomer Esasion, Jim Kelly, Steve Young and Troy Aikman all had retired. Meanwhile up and coming QBs Mark Brunnell and Drew Bledsoe were having rough seasons, proving that they really weren't about to light the league on fire. Brett Favre was stuck on a Packers team rebuilding and Peyton Manning was still young with a Colts team that wasn't close to becoming what they would be in the following years. All this led to guys like Rich Gannon, Trent Green and Jeff Garcia competing for All Pro selections during this time frame.

Case in point about how weak the NFL was back then - The 1999 Rams still to this day have the absolute easiest strength of schedule of any SB team in league history. They were 0-3 against the only teams they played above .500 and they looked beatable in all 3 of their playoff games. The 2000 Ravens also had super inflated defensive stats from playing one of the worst list of starting QBs that any historical defense faced.

Rich Gannon was already a proven backup from his time in Minnesota and K.C. where he could've easily been the starter. Gruden didn't develop a guy with nearly a decade of experience in the league.

I don't think it's a coincidence that Gruden's offenses were horrible in Tampa Bay. He runs an out of date west coast offense that most of the league had figured out by the early 2000s.

Brad Johnson was a game manager QB and Gruden tried to make him into Gannon 2.0. Johnson's INT percentage shot up dramatically in that offense. When he failed to develop a QB from the draft, he turned to washed up backups looking for the next Rich Gannon.

The mythology of Gruden was entirely built around him winning a SB with a team that had a historical ranked defense that had been slowly built by another coach.

And one last thing - as for all the talk about how he was going to ace this draft and they were robbing teams of draft picks, LOL. Pull up his draft record in Tampa Bay. He never really drafted all that well there. His one great pick was Cadillac Williams, a good RB but in this league, but still that one position that is the most inter-changable in the league.

Jon Gruden "Who Do You Think I Think I Am"

Re: Latest in the Antonio Brown saga - he retires...
 

I agree :p.

Raiders plan to suspend Antonio Brown after altercation with GM Mike Mayock | Why this drama should surprise nobody.

Now this guy is truly a cancer to a team and locker room chemistry.

Re: Latest in the Antonio Brown saga - he retires...
 

Will Gruden's grimaces and Mayock"s talent evals be able to overcome the mess in Oakland/soon to be Las Vegas?

AB threatened to punch Mayock

Re: Latest in the Antonio Brown saga - he retires...
 

Lmfao!

Re: Latest in the Antonio Brown saga - he retires...
 

Just a guess but I believe they will indeed suspend AB, void his contract and chalk it up as a loss.

Re: Latest in the Antonio Brown saga - he retires...
 

He is mentally challenged.

the Steelers are my AFC team
I thought they got fleeced in that deal, but now they look like geniuses

Re: Latest in the Antonio Brown saga - he retires...
 

The only thing they are getting fleeced by is Tomlin. They could do some serious damage in the AFC if they had a real head coach.

Re: Latest in the Antonio Brown saga - he retires...
 

Tomlin's career HC coaching record is 125–66–1 (.654) and skins on the wall.

Every so often muscle bound pea brains make it to the nfl

Re: Latest in the Antonio Brown saga - he retires...
 

Pittsburgh has won just 3 playoff games since their 2010 SB loss. And of those 3; one of them was against Cincy in 2015 who just handed them the game on a silver platter, another was to a crappy Dolphins team in 2016 and the last one was against the choking Chiefs.

Some of their most embarrassing playoff losses happen to be blowing a 13-3 season to Jacksonville a few years ago and 2011 where they had the #1 ranked defense and lost to Tim Tebow.

Tomlin's teams are stacked with high level talent and constantly disappoint in the playoffs. He is so worried about being a 'player's coach', he ends up having all these ego driven guys who are trouble like Bell, Brown and their QB whom no one likes.

Doctor: "We've located the stage 3 tumor and we're able to get to it safely and stitch you back up no sweat. Just sign here and come back at 6am tomorrow for surgery."
Raiders: "Nah, I'm good."

Re: Latest in the Antonio Brown saga - he retires...
 

Sounds like from the posts here that if Chucky was in Atlanta, he be our 2nd favorite coach.

Re: Latest in the Antonio Brown saga - he retires...
 

Now the Raiders have voided his guaranteed money and AB has demanded his release.

Re: Latest in the Antonio Brown saga - he retires...
 

Wow.

He's gone (mentally) XVI. I mean something could be wrong with AB upstairs.

Seriously.

Re: Latest in the Antonio Brown saga - he retires...
 

Then he posted these things...

Re: Latest in the Antonio Brown saga - he retires...
 

Man this trumps anything TO or Ocho ever did by a long shot. This thing has gone into Charlie Sheen Winning/Tiger Blood territory.

Re: Latest in the Antonio Brown saga - he retires...
 

The league needs to take a stand, and no I don't mean the evil emperor but the owners of ALL the teams. Let this guy know you won't give him what he wants.

Re: Latest in the Antonio Brown saga - he retires...
 

This is some Alpha predator level trolling right here...

:rofl:

In all honesty though, I hope AB gets the help he needs. I don’t know if he’s dealing with the effects of head trauma or substance abuse issues, but something’s not right.

Re: Latest in the Antonio Brown saga - he retires...
 

Yea man, he's as crazy as a sh*t house rat.

Re: Latest in the Antonio Brown saga - he retires...
 

I think Antonio Brown is a diva, and asshat... any other negative adjective or noun you want to through at him. The way the Raiders handled this was still ****ing retarded. It seemed like the matter was solved, and Mayock had to stir the pot on his own team. Brown found his helmet, was prepared to play with it. You're the GM, of course you shouldn't let people walk over you, but you should also try to keep the peace and not do anything stupid. Mayock doing that **** and voiding his guaranteed money was stupid. Mayock is the GM, he isn't on the field every sunday playing. If Antonio Brown was disrespecting the coach or the locker room personnel that would be one thing. I don't like Brown, but I feel like this didn't have to happen, and only happened cause Mayock got butthurt or wanted to make sure everyone realized he was the king of the mountain.
