    Antonio Brown threatens to retire unless he can wear preferred helmet


    Originally posted on Pro Football Rumors | By Zach Links | Last updated 8/10/19
    The Antonio Brown saga has reached new heights. On Friday, Brown informed Raiders officials that he will not play football again, unless he is permitted to wear his old helmet again, according to ESPN.com’s Adam Schefter.

    Brown filed a grievance against the league this week in order to get permission to wear his preferred helmet. The wide receiver, who recently suffered a foot injury while receiving cryotherapy treatment, has been staying away from team practices after being barred from wearing the helmet that he has used throughout his career.

    Other players — such as Packers star Aaron Rodgers — have complied with the league’s mandate to wear an updated helmet that has been cleared for safety. However, Brown is bucking the system.

    Brown, one of the most talented wide receivers in the game, was an absolute headache for the Steelers in 2018. After clashing with head coach Mike Tomlin and other key figures throughout the year, the Steelers shipped him to the Raiders in March for a pair of mid-round draft picks. In an effort to keep the mercurial star happy, the Raiders also gave Brown a new deal worth $50.125M over the next three seasons with $30.125M in guarantees.

    Brown finished last season with 104 receptions for 1,297 yards and 15 touchdowns. The campaign marked his sixth straight season with at least 1,200 receiving yards and 100 receptions.

    This year, the Raiders were hoping for seven in a row. Now, they’re just hoping he’ll play.

    What a diva asshole!

    Antonio Brown facing lawsuit for allegedly stiffing celebrity chef out of nearly $40,000

    "According to the lawsuit, which was obtained by ESPN.com, the Raiders receiver is being sued by Stefano Tedeschi over some work the chef did during the week of the Pro Bowl in 2018. During the week of the game, Brown rented out a mansion in the Orlando-area and hired Tedeschi to cook for everyone who was staying there. The chef was in charge of cooking breakfast, lunch and dinner each day between Jan. 26 and Jan. 28."

    There is a silver lining to all of Brown's pathologically self-absorbed behavior....Gruden is having to swallow all this shit after insisting on signing this Diva fuck stick!

    Maybe the most revealing detail (about Brown's all-consuming ego) in this episode is Brown's demanding that the Chef was not allowed to "look at Brown" after he was fired mid way through the 3 day affair.
