AB is a fantasy football legend, he’s a real football legend. He was having a Hall of Fame career in Pittsburgh.

He no-shows the regular season finale of 2018 for the Steelers.

He signs with the Raiders.

He shows up for camp in a hot air balloon.

His feet have frost bite from a Cryongenic Freeze chamber treatment thing in Europe.

He refuses to play with a league approved helmet for like 2 weeks.

Finally gets beyond the helmet thing… and then after all that … the weirdness goes into overdrive

He gets fined… he puts the fine on social media.

The then has an altercation with the team GM

He then says he’s sorry.

He then has some video montage paired with a phone call of Jon Gruden and AB as the audio and tweets out - Release me @Raiders

Raiders comply… and the jokes about the Patriots signing AB begin immediately.

Then like 2 hours later the Patriots actually sign Antonio Brown.

This is like the signings of Randy Moss + Corey Dillon + Chad Ocho Conco + Albert Haynesworth x 6pounds of crazy pills combined

On the spectrum of Patriots have lost their minds on one end and the Patriots are playing chess while the league plays checkers on the other end… where does this roster move rate for you right now?

With the Patriots playing the Steelers tonight - isn’t this timing and hoopla the exact type of thing they Patriots work so hard to avoid?

3 to 4 months from now — what’s the most likely result of this experiment

What does this mean for Josh Gordon? What does this mean for Jakobi Meyers?

Does it worry you guys at all that the Pats felt the need to do this?

Also very interesting that Drew Rosenhaus is AB’s agent and he was Gronk’s agent.

To me this means Gronk ain’t coming back

To me this means Edleman might have a Wes Welker 2007 type season

Both the Raiders and the Steelers are now doing the “this group of guys in the locker room are more focused” - do you buy it?
