Srsly. Just ask the Redskins. They're playing pokemon with RBs.

Do we want on over/under on how many games he plays this year?

What a fucking douchebag.

AB chose a helmet. He might even wear it this year.

Or not...

He's also unfollowed the Raiders and Derek Carr on social media.

He's batshit insane.

There is now rumor that the Raiders are actually moving to void Brown's contract based on his behavior.

He's going to the Patriots isn't he?

Really long and detailed article about Ben, Bell, Brown, and Tomlin.

Excellent piece, but I'll summarize for you:
-All three have massive egos.
-All three believe they made the other two.
-All have grudges towards the others.
-Ben was an entitled jackass when he got to Pittsburgh.
-Brown and Bell were considered great guys loved by teammates.
-Brown is unrecognizable to his former teammates now. They don't think he's nuts, but they think he's doing everything wrong.
-Bell is also considered to have done things the wrong way.
-Most importantly, most of this is Tomlin's fault. He coddled these players, allowed bad stuff to fester, stepped in where he shouldn't have (according to several vets) even breaking "locker room rules", never took control, and ultimately is the most overrated coach in the history of the NFL.

Oh, snap. Brown got Leaf'd.

AB started the argument with his GM.

Here's the bit that isn't getting a lot of press, but imagine if their races were reversed:

The Raiders source confirmed information from another league source who said Brown called Mayock a "cracker" and unleashed a barrage of "cuss words" during the altercation.

So add racism to AB's latest string of messes.

Does that mean he called himself a slave?

AB apologizes to his team for his language.

I assume he meant the racial slur he used.

The plan, RIGHT NOW, is that he will play.

Subject to AB's whims, of course.

Must be great to be so oppressed that you make millions to play a game, aggressively confront your boss, curse at him and call him a racial slur, barely show up to practice, act completely batshit insane, and still not be punished for any of it.

We should all be lucky enough to be that oppressed.

Did you think the AB drama was over? Silly you.

AB posts video including call by Gruden.

Here's the video: Here's where it gets interesting:

California's wiretapping law is a "two-party consent" law, making it a crime to record or eavesdrop on any confidential communication, including a private conversation or telephone call, without the consent of all parties to the conversation.

The Raiders are trying to play it off and claim Gruden loved it, but that's horseshit. Nobody likes to be secretly recorded and then have their private moments made public.

Raiders release Brown.

They also voided all his guaranteed money. He just cost himself $30M.
