Not sure a cupcake business will provide the income he's used to earning, but at least he has a plan to transition to a life without football.

I didn't have hard feelings when he left, thought he wasn't the right fit for us. Seems like he's getting out fairly young too, I'm sure as he gets older taking care of himself will be a priority.

Re: Around the NFL Week 17

I was surprised to hear about Orakpo but maybe injuries have just taken their toll. He's 32, made some really nice bank, can't blame him.

Re: Around the NFL Week 17

Wow - Steelers benched Antonio Brown in week 17, not because he was hurt, but because he skipped meetings and practices that week.

Why earth is he being such a diva?

What is more amazing to me is the fact Pittsburgh lead everyone to believe it was an injury why Brown was not out there. They don’t have the guts to tell the media and their fans AB is a punk bitch.

I wouldn’t be shocked if they finally move on from AB this offseason. Especially with JuJu playing like an all pro.

Hard to say, JuJu didn't play well without Brown yesterday and it was against Cinn defense that is known for weak secondary.. I know because I have both on one of my FFL teams. Just like Tyler Boyd - he exploded but he went back to reality when AJ Green was out.

Re: Around the NFL Week 17

Brown is ultimately the reason for the bell situation. The Steelers couldn’t afford to pay them both, so they payed Brown. Show some freaking gratitude instead of being sore that the team also happens to have another good receiver now.

Re: Around the NFL Week 17

1st question when drafting/signing a WR: Will you become a punk ass bitch if things don't go your way all the time, ala Antonio Brown?

If so, we're not the right fit for you.

Re: Around the NFL Week 17

I have some friends who are big Steelers fans and while they love his production they think AB is a punk.

Re: Around the NFL Week 17

Is Gregg out or in?

https://www.cleveland.com/expo/sport...-accordin.html

I've read more recent reporting that he is being interviewed.

Re: Around the NFL Week 17

After a 5-3 record as interim coach they'd be dumb not to interview him. Still I think the rumors they will go in a different record are classic Browns, no offense to their next coach but their interim coach is probably the best coach they've had since '99.

For those of you who love keeping up with Kirk, good article here about how the Skins/Vikings/Broncos were all losers in this deal.

Our biggest lost was not trading him when there was a market for him. Otherwise, Alex's broke leg has nothing to do with Cousins. It's just bad luck. Pretty sure things would have been different had Alex not gone down.

That being said, if the Vikes can invest in other areas, they can be a playoff team next season. Otherwise, they are going to be screwed out of a lot of money by Kirk, since he is on a 3-year deal.

If things go south again for the Vikes next season, I expect a lot of the same drama with Cousins in regards to his future with the Vikings, as we saw here.
