Well he just made the NFL’s job a whole hell of a lot easier. Can their lawyers just say “no take backs”? Does that work in court? ---

> [@Atamasama](#): > > Can their lawyers just say “no take backs”? Does that work in court? Maybe, but Brown could come up with the killer counter-argument that he had his fingers crossed when he signed the agreement, so it doesn’t count. ---

He un-quit (gain), presumably so he can quit again when it gets quiet on Twitter again. ---

Well, if you count winning Rookie of the Year, then getting suspended 7 times, banned from the game for life (he got better) and dying in a meth fueled car crash “imploding” then yeah, white athletes implode sometimes. I’m not giving you a name, because you should know the name very well already, since he was ON the 1996 Yankees. ---

> [@Yankees\_1996\_Champs](#): > > Why doesn’t Skip Bayless and the others talk about them as they do Brown? Well Hernandez died of suicide in prison 2 1/2 years ago. Bruce Miller was released by the 49ers in 2016 due to his legal problems and hasn’t played in the league since. Meanwhile Brown is embroiled in a league investigation right now, played in uniform as recently as a couple of months ago, and is constantly in the news with the strange things he is saying and doing. You might as well ask why people are talking about Trump and not Ronald Reagan. One is president now, the other was president decades ago and is also dead. Where are you going with this or are you “just asking questions”? ---

He’s a total basket case and needs to be sent to a psyche ward or something. ---

When I heard Brown had locked himself in his house after the arrest warrant was issued, I was kind of hoping for another white Ford Bronco event. ---

Brown has been released, for now. It’s never a good look though when you’re featured in a story wearing a [“suicide smock”](https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/28554043/antonio-brown-released-posting-110k-bond). In other news of NFL Good Citizens, Kareem Hunt was stopped for speeding and cops found a “small amount” of marijuana in his car. 2020 is barely here, the new Browns coach hasn’t had time to settle in and the team’s stars are already filling up the police blotter. ---
