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?

Larry Flynt $10 million for info on trump impeachment

It takes guys who literally don't care what people think (Eminem and Larry Flynt) to take down a guy who will literally do and say anything

HBO’s The deuce - the main characters all coexist in a crime laced world already - what are they going to do to make it dramatic?

Here's a question for you to ponder - what the first crazy thing that's gonna happen on “The Deuce"?

I'm not counting "candy getting beat up and robbed" and going into porno as a big deal! I'm talking like mob issues for Franco or one of the main pimps dying etc

My pick the 2 ladies who are stealing money and are in a bit of a relationship are gonna kill a guy or something... or something happens to the NYU drop out - Abby

Pats are 5-2 but 3-0 on road which is the main reason I'm hopeful they're still a legit contender

Steelers D seems to be tailor made to stop chiefs, and the Pats typically have Steelers number. Pats can't like their chances if they see KC chiefs in playoffs

Rosco P of Drilling 3’s and his solo project “the way out” 

Places listening - the Nation of India #2 and United Kingdom is #3. Top Cities listening the City of Salem, India is #1 - congrats. Ashburn, VA #2 and

Bon Jovi is not in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame - Any hot takes Andrew? 

LL Cool J is nominated.  In or Out? Rage Against the machine is nominated. In or Out? 

Rosco will you explain to the listeners about fat Gavin and also why you miss fat Gavin so much

Fat Gavin flashbacks/ fat Gavin's favorites - new section of the filibusterfreestyle.com website

Essentially when I have a cheat day or just slip up - I gotta document it and go for broke

Main categories are wings, but when applicable nachos, pizza, sushi, seafood towers, any type of self service buffet

Plus I'll rate some dirty Martinis and beers perhaps

LL Cool J did more for hip-hop then almost anybody else — he helped make it commercially viable. he pretty much invented the slow jam with “I need love”.

Going Back to Cali, Who do you love, "Doin’ it" and Mama Said Knock you out — murderer’s row of jams - plus Around the way gift, Headsprung, Hey lover, Phenomenon, Rock the Bells… my goodness he’s greatness in a can — and he’s been a TV star for like 20 years

Rage Against the Machine — too original, too politically relevant, too talented to be left out — invited Rap Rock and nobody really ever touched them

Tom Morello is a handsome Vin Diesel 

Patriots Falcons Super Bowl 51 Hot Takes & Women's March in DC Hot Takes

P-word Power March hot takes - Women’s March on Washington 

Amazing to see that many people (mainly comprised of women) band together around the nation - and throughout parts of the world

Couple questions / takes

Where was this mobilization and energy during october and november? More importantly why wasn’t it there? Were people too confident that Hillary would prevail? 

Can women band together like that to drive the result of the 2018 midterm elections? 

They only way to beat small minded voters and essentially Tea Party voters is by finding a way to get Congress Back — essentially it’s time to think globally and act locally about politics and liberals have a nasty habit of being less focused during the midterm elections. The issue is 2/3’s of congress gets elected during the midterm elections. 

I’m starting with the man in the mirror on this one — i’ve only voted in a midterm election once, and starting in 2017 I will. I’m even going to start voting every local elections

We are less than 22 months away from the midterm elections — the nasty women need to nasty then — do you think they can sustain this momentum? And/or summon it when it’s time? And to all the “Dead Beat voters” aka the 50% of the electorate who sat 2016 out — get your crap together and vote — even if you right in mickey mouse — do not no show — it’s a shame that 25% of the country voted for this guy and he won cuz 50% of the country didn’t give a crap — and i’d say the same for hillary winning.

Aziz Ansari’s Saturday Night Live hot take — The Closet Racists who have flung open the closet because they think Trump winning is a license to be openly racist are really jamming things up. One: The majority of the country won’t be swayed to be racist Two: Trump got elected because of how many “never hillary people existed” — Next time, he ain’t facing hillary and the non-racist Trump voters are going to run away screaming from this now openly racist base of voters

Home about the split screen image of Obama’s 2009 inauguration and Trump’s in 2017— Very Telling. 

Outlandish ideas to agitate Trump and his supporters for the next 4-8 years

1. Jon Stewart needs a new weekly show on HBO dedicated to Slamming Donald and his Cronies 
2. Jon Stewart’s show should coax Rage Against the Machine to Reunite and become Stewart’s house band
3. If Zach De La Rocha won’t rejoin Rage - Bruce Springsteen Should — this would really tick of Rosco P of Drilling 3’ by the way 
4. Michael Bloomberg should run as a Republican in the 2020 Primary - Forcing Donald’s hand to spend money to get nomination
5. Michael Bloomberg should then run as in Independent in the 2020 General Election — 67% change Either he’ll win, or the Dem nominee will win and trump will get way less than total of 50% of total vote — further diminishing his fake mandate 
6. People should refer to Trump as “Interim President” until and unless he can win a second term in 2020

Hot takes from NFC and AFC Championship Games - Football in LA /// Tom Brady’s 7th

How confident were you before the game started? Tavern in the Square

How confident at halftime?

Who do you think has better groupie stories Gronk or Jon Bon Jovi? 

How confidently are you in the Super Bowl against the falcons?

What scares you most about the falcons? 

Jon Bon Jovi narrated the patriots voiceover promo video - interesting choice. I mean he's bill's idol

CBS showed gronk and JBJ together

Chris hogan - beasted a whole series for the pats first TD

2 quarters later - Chris hogan is beating this whole game

If Pittsburgh always runs its zone and if it's Achilles heel is always an all pro QB - why keep running it against TB12 in the playoffs ???

NFL Playoff Teams as Star Wars Characters

Unofficial Sponsor of the Week Delirium Tremens - Family Brewery since 1654

Fun fact: Guns N Roses March 3rd show in the United Arab Emirates is at a venue called “Autism Rocks Arena” - after research - Autism Rocks is a Non-Profit which raises awareness about autism via charitable concerts

Shout out to Riz Ahmed (aka Nas from The Night Of) on playing “the pilot in Rogue One” 

Patriots - Boba Fett — Here to do there job. Not noble, unscrupulous, unapologetic, they’ll sell out whomever they must, in order to claim their bounty. Not good guys, not bad guys, just effective. Not perfect, not the most talented but they will throw the kitchen sink at you.

Cowboys — The Death Star from Return of the Jedi. Deadly when operational — but less fortified than it’d predecessor. The 1990’s cowboys were like the original death star - the only weakness of that team was the vanity of Jerry Jones and the after Jimmy Johnson’s departure, the weakness was Barry Switzer.

This team looks a lot like those teams — but they aren’t as dominant — and the Giants seem to be their Kryptonite — I foresee a “moon of Endor” like siege on them —  and the Ewoks might just be the Giants

Chiefs — Mace Windu (Samuel L Jackson Character) - Mainly because Windu is the only character to have a purple lightsaber and Tyreek Hill is the Purple Lightsaber of the NFL this season - one of a kind. Ultimately, Mace Windu’s demise comes sooner than we’d have thought, and this could be the same for the Chiefs. But, if with that purple lightsaber, these guys have a shot to go all the way.

Falcons - Jyn Erso from Rogue One — talented and calm under pressure at fortunate to this point — but may run out of chances - because the odds aren’t in their favor and their past doesn’t line up well with getting out alive. I do think they can do some damage - Hot take alert — I think the Falcons have the best chance to beat the NY Giants if they somehow end up playing each other.

Steelers— Darth Maul (of the Phantom menace): Remember the double light saber? Remember his expert training in the martial art ofTeras Kasi. It took both Qui-GonGinn and Obi-won to kill him — and when you combine the X factor of Big Ben, and the double edged sword of La’Veon Bell and Antonio Brown — you’ve got the most formidable offense force in the galaxy. In addition- the Steelers tend to be stubborn, set in theirgame plan ways and prone to taking chances — which means when things aren’t going to plan, they are vulnerable. 

Seahawks — Lando Calrissian — Lando has the ability to save the day and the ability to double cross his friends. Lot of parallels with the seahawks. They have Swag, they have talent, they’re not afraid to talk a little trash and like Lando - they’ve got a track record of success in big situations. But, sometimes they aren’t simpatico and when they aren’t their “magic” is gone.

Texans— Jar Jar Binks — between the fact the the injured JJ Watt is more “america’s sweet heart” and Papa John’s pitchman than Defensive menace these days, and the fact that Brock Osweiler is a long, lanky, occasionally goofy player, who keeps getting changes to play a role - inexplicably(in the vain of Jar Jar) I think these team is Jar Jar. Not saying they can’t surprise a team or two — just like Jar Jar BUT — i’d be shocked

Packers - Han Solo — flying by the seat of their pants. Getting it done with smoke & mirrors. Making outlandish claims and finding a way to back it up. Improvising. Aaron Rodgers and Han Solo are similar dudes and by extension the Packers offense is always a dangerous threat and always a candidate to self-destruct — especially away from home

Raiders — Rey (Daisy Ridley’s character): Even before Derek Carr got hurt — I felt like these guys were a “year away” - like Rey there’s a chance these guys could be the “future” of the league but it will be a hard battle, and now with Carr injured, these guys are going to have to work even harder to hope that their fate mirrors what we all believe Rey’s will be.

Giants - The Ewoks — I hate the giants - so much. And the little boy and me loves the Ewoks, so this is a hard sell to make. But, here it goes. The Ewoks have no business going toe to toe with the Empire. But somehow, they stuck to what they were good at, were willing to sacrifice themselves for the cause and got just lucky enough in catching their opponents off guard to prevail. The Ewoks win ugly with a limited offense and solid defense, so might the Giants. They’ve done it before.

Dolphins — Finn from the Force Awakens — IN OVER THEIR HEADS - BUT AWESOME to see them at the party - Could be interesting.

Lions — Empire Strikes Back Luke Skywalker or Phantom Menace Obi-Won or attack of the Clones Anakin Skywalker = Gun Slinger QB, all the talent in the world, not ready for the big time, and it’ll show.
