Lord BJ Posted August 9, 2019 18 minutes ago, Sexton Hardcastle said: The Brown helmet issue is pretty fascinating. Always the drama with him and his fantasy value just fell massively. I’m not sure fascinating the words I would use. A thread on Twitter ‘allegedly’ providing details of last few weeks. Amongst some of the stuff ie. tuning up late. He has has threatened to retire apparently. It looks like the AB drama has kicked off much quicker than I thought. Thought he would at least wait till the Raider had proved they weren’t play off contenders. The sources unfortunately seem pretty reliable. https://twitter.com/MikeSilver https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2849093-raiders-rumors-antonio-brown-files-helmet-grievance-against-nfl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sexton Hardcastle Posted August 9, 2019 The parts about him agreeing to wear a new helmet and him sneaking his old one in, re painted badly and being busted. Fascinating in my eyes anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord BJ Posted August 9, 2019 This might sound really stupid. how did he get a old style Raiders helmet? Thougn i I guess if your worth 500M or whatever you can get what you want. I just want DC throwing to AB no dramas just TD’s 😢 i think he will be there on 1st game of season but I guess where AB goes drama goes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reading too many threads and believing some of stuff. Its hard not to question to his cimmitment, when ‘allegedly’ freaking out over a helmet. I get it’s not what you like but let’s be honest at 20M a year you think you would learn to adapt or at least give it more than a couple of sessions, Between this and the frost bite he needs to invest in a equipment manager!!! This is would be comedy gold if wasn’t the raiders 😡 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seemingly this whole helmet debacle might have been predicted by the steelers and the inevitable circus/distraction may well have played a part in their decision to trade. His helmet wasn't one of the banned models but as it's now 10 years old it can't be certified, something that the Raiders were unlikely to know before making the trade but the steelers could have been fully aware that 2018 was the last time he could wear that helmet!

I’ll bet his stats drop right off in games without Zeke. He’s not for me, but can’t blame the guy for trying to get as much as he can. The Cowboys are mad though, if they make him the highest paid QB imo. He’s not worth that money and if they did, how are they going to pay Elliott and Cooper. They have to tie up Elliott first, he is a true difference maker. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kitchens spoke well of him last night too. A 74yrd punt had the commentators going "wow" during the game. It was pretty accurate too. I think it was him that had a shit snap though which contributed to Siebert missing his 53yrd attempt which would've possibly put him ahead against Joseph in the kicker position had he got it. Promising though for Gillan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

luckyBatistuta Posted August 27, 2019 (edited) Quite a lot of rumours circulating on Andrew Lucks mental health. The rumours are that he asked to step away for a period of time and there is no injury, just not in a good place right now. Some saying that he asked to be placed on IR, but it was refused by Irsay. If any of this is found to be true, I really hope he can get himself sorted out and if that means that walking away from the game was what was needed, then well done to him for making such a difficult decision.
