Re: Antonio Brown at Saints Facility
 

I wouldn't put it past the Kommisar to tell the Saints that AB can't play, the Saints don't sign him and he goes to Seattle or San Fran and he is allowed to play.

Re: Antonio Brown at Saints Facility
 

For everyone badmouthing the person just think about the WR on the field. Thomas on one side and AB on the other? Am I crazy to think this is AWESOME!!!

Re: Antonio Brown at Saints Facility
 

RG is walking around in circles in his backyard with a putter and his Sharper Image electronic hole in one connfused on what to do. If he makes it, Saints can get AB. A miss, AB can be signed, but can only play in the 4th quarter of the SB and no PI can be called on him. This is fair in his mind and you will accept it.

I just can’t believe the allegations cause she continued to work with him after the fact. If I am wrong, I am sorry but it’s hard to believe. It’s also could be because I been burned by a woman lie. Although it wasn’t as serious as rape a woman lied and said she was pregnant by me and went as far to take a pee test using her pregnant neighbor urine but fortunately the nurse and I pushed her to also take a blood test that confirmed she wasn’t and her neighbor revealed she gave her urine in order to pass a drug test. Lesson learned women lie.

Re: Antonio Brown at Saints Facility
 

AB, MT, JC, AK....good luck covering that

Re: Antonio Brown at Saints Facility
 

I do agree with you. If your opinion is the reward outweighs anything negative he can do to this teams chemistry, I get it.

Maybe I think we don't need distractions coming into playoff time. Again, I know we need talent right now. AB is without a doubt the most talented receiver not playing presently.

Re: Antonio Brown at Saints Facility
 

All the EGGSPURTS with ITCHY "TRIGGER FINGERS" ready to bash the Saints if they sign him and OMG!!!! WHAT IF!!!!!! He's signed by another NFC TEAM??????? "OH!!!THE COULDA, WOULDA, SHOULDA'S!!!!

Just when you thought it was safe to go out for TWO FIRSTS AND A FIFTH!!!!!!!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Re: Antonio Brown at Saints Facility
 

Re: Antonio Brown at Saints Facility
 

Roger isn’t confused.

He is looking to bury the Saints and bury the putt

Re: Antonio Brown at Saints Facility
 

Who threw passes for him, the machine, Brees, Teddy, or Taysom?

If it was one of the three I wonder what their thoughts are.

Re: Antonio Brown at Saints Facility
 

I can see the meeting between Payton and Brown. My guess is payton told him this was his last chance and he wouold show him to the door quicker than New England. I'm sure that the team will assign him a body guard/manager who is with him 24 hours a day and he will decide on any outgoing media before it hits the public eye, He has to bow to the coaches and take anger management courses. No guarantees at all by the Saints but lots of concessions by Brown. If that was the deal then I'm down. However, just one incident should get him fired. Give him good warning up front like Bear Bryant would!

Re: Antonio Brown at Saints Facility
 

I doubt SP would go through all of that for a player that probably won't be on the roster next year; although I do agree that SP let him know that he is on a short leash.

Re: Antonio Brown at Saints Facility
 

Shell games.

"I probably was not telling you the truth a few months ago," Payton said to reporters Friday afternoon. "But look, I think it is important that we have done this at other positions and we're looking closely all the time at who are the players available and how can they help us. Especially as we get ready here for this postseason.

"That was the purpose of today with the receiver position. We've done it really throughout the course of the season at other positions."

Re: Antonio Brown at Saints Facility
 

Okay I missed it we signed him?

Re: Antonio Brown at Saints Facility
 

I think we are in a holding pattern until the league office tells Saints what the commissioner's list decision will/would be concerning AB.

Re: Antonio Brown at Saints Facility
 

According to the Score, we were not going to sign him. SP wants to move forward with what he has.

Re: Antonio Brown at Saints Facility
 

Re: Antonio Brown at Saints Facility
 

He wasn't signed. Just about every comment in this thread is correct to a certain extet. I say to an extent because possibilities are endless and they are just that, possibilities.. like it is possible that Goodell could do the Saints a favor and let the team know what his intentions are. (if you just chuckled then you understand)

Its when the probabilities come in to play and you realize that Goodell has never done the Saints a favor, and the league has never done anything to make them a better team.

I originally stated that this was not a this year item because it isn't, if there was a probability it is for next year.

Loomis will not sign AB without knowing what the Commissioner's intentions are. The Commissioner is not going to announce his attentions because the league has enough fights on its hands and telegraphing that AB will be on the exempt list is asking for a media fire storm and speculations of racism etc... who needs that crap. The commissioner MUST investigate and cant let AB just walk or risk having every women's rights and anti abuse league/group screaming in the media.

The Commissioners list was not intended to be a punishment it was intended to be a pause while there is an investigation.

This is a next year thing if at all because there is no time for due diligence on all sides to satisfy professionalism as well as public scrutiny.

Re: Antonio Brown at Saints Facility
 

Conflicting with this. Also from today. Says Saints are blown away, want to sign him, just need to know what the league is going to do.

Re: Antonio Brown at Saints Facility
 

So they haven't time to investigate yet, for ...what... the past 12 weeks?

Re: Antonio Brown at Saints Facility
 

Re: Antonio Brown at Saints Facility
 

They have had had plenty of time to investigate. As I pointed out in a previous comment somewhere, the league has no reason or motivation to spend money on an investigation.

When AB was released by the Patriots it ROYALLY screwed him, he is not an NFL employee and has no team or NFLPA to fight for him.

That makes this an off season issue if a team pushes the league to do something.

Right now he would have to Lawyer up and take the NFl to court to force an investigation but even he is not going to spend money on that not knowing if a team would take him.

Re: Antonio Brown at Saints Facility
 

Yeah the only way they clear him is if he can get a injunction out to stop a suspension. Realistically he should win that case but with the pull the NFL and its owners have he might not win.

If he's done what he's accused of he is a scumbag. But I'm always suspicious when instead of people wanting a legal case they decide they'd rather go fir a cival case fir money, where the burden of proof lies more in blackening someone's name and slandering them rather than legal proof.

If there is no legal case the NFL should not ha e the ability to blacklist players like it does.


When the new CBA comes up the players need to Mane sure they've got savings and strike if needed as the league has step way over bounds with things lately

Re: Antonio Brown at Saints Facility
 

Re: Antonio Brown at Saints Facility
 

They do and they always will, the CBA and their hiring contracts cover a ‘conduct detrimental to the shield’ clause. It’s in the same spirit that the military uses ‘conduct unbecoming an officer’ to dole out disciplinary action.. It’s the same basis for brands to terminate the endorsement from someone that becomes the face of the brand and then does something that damages their self image... ergo the brand.

If players don’t like it they can start selling Pontiacs.

Re: Antonio Brown at Saints Facility
 

He is correct. We need the"publicity". Sign him and put on the Jersey AB!

Re: Antonio Brown at Saints Facility
 

Re: Antonio Brown at Saints Facility
 

I hear that AB says it was a Saints publicity stunt. Way to burn your bridge behind him. We've got a very strong locker room but without Richie Cognito to keep him motivated and performing this maybe for the best. :wink:

Re: Antonio Brown at Saints Facility
 

We won a SB with a gippy TE, fill in RB's and a defense that just flailed around most of the time. I loved that team but this one is better. That team did have some good WR's but this one is coming along at right time.

We can beat all these teams. Ravens are another story but we are not there yet and neither are they. Deal with that later.

Re: Antonio Brown at Saints Facility
 

Because:

A. The Saints need publicity?
B. Sean Payton likes publicity?
3. Because the same thing that made him say that is why he is in the predicament that he is in?

The man is a bottomless well of poor judgment.

Re: Antonio Brown at Saints Facility
 

He is officially dead to me.

Re: Antonio Brown at Saints Facility
 

Pretty much exactly what I figured.

Test failed.

Re: Antonio Brown at Saints Facility
 

And we got some Taysom to play with... no to mention Jared Cook and TreQuan are coming around.

Re: Antonio Brown at Saints Facility
 

Meh, he's said far worse. He did thank us for the opportunity and did seem to acknowledge that the NFL hadn't made a decision and they are the root cause for the hold-up. The 'publicity stunt' comment was just weird conjecture, which is AB's stock in trade so no surprise.
