I'm sure it was all Belichik's idea. But he likely didn't know about the rape allegations.

If AB is like so many talented players, he has just done as he pleases, and others “fixed” it for him after the fact. It looks like reality has finally caught up with him, and cost him real money. And a big stain on his already poor reputation.

He went from $0 (Steelers) to $54 million with $30 million guaranteed (Raiders), to $15 million with $9 million guaranteed (Pats), back to $0.

Hope he saved his money. He also stiffed various personal trainers, photographers, chefs, and car rental agencies - allegedly!

Maybe he can get together with the others like Vick, Kaepernick et al and form an independent team for the CFL or maybe do a Harlem Globetrotters-esque revival.

Jerry Jones has a plane waiting for AB. In all seriousness, I think Bob Craft heard the accusations, and let him go out of fear that his own problems would resurface.

I have seen this too many times for my liking where the biggest, strongest, fastest kid on the
playground was immediately accorded special treatment & placed in an environment which
in turn, compromised and/or distorted his perception of the real world.

Caveat: I place no blame on the kid.

Cheers
JB

Unfortunate for all involved. High regard for one's skills is common in elite athletes but this smacks of an ego the size of Alaska. 3 teams and 3 sets of problems. Got a mirror?
Does not seem to be the brightest bulb on the tree.
If the allegations are true, another big black eye for the NFL.

The NFL would have no eye whatsoever. A player gone, that's it.

They are looking for a tight end and wide receiver. Ready to play?

I hate the NFL, I have since Vic was allowed back in and resolved in my hatred when Rice was given a pass.

I will not watch a game anymore nor do I care to. It is indeed the national felon legue.

I have made it clear I hate the NFL and the players.

Yet, I see this AB story and wonder what kind of retard is that personal trainer. He jerked off into her and that was not enough for her to run away? Nope!! She thought it would be a great idea to go out on the town with the same man that jerked a load onto her and attend strip clubs together. THEN she thought is was a great idea to go back to his house after. B!tch please.

AB is a talented athlete but apparently a real douche bag of a human being ! I guess you reap what you sowe ? I do find it somewhat comical that Kraft was " outraged " per the media about AB's text messages to the accuser ............... hey Kraft were you outraged by your behavior at the rub and tug last year ? Double standard ? Oh that's right you didn't threaten the girl tugging on your Johnson

No player is above the NFL...
Modern day slavery. They say you're done. You're done. Of all the millions he was offered. He'll only make 150k for one game. Hell of a deal for the Patriots.
As for AB. Since some of you guys seem to be all over his *****. I laugh. He's nothing. He can catch a ball, and run. If he wasn't blowing his money he could retire like gronk. But the lambo SUV. Private jets. Mansions. LOL yeah no sympathy, or an ounce of compassion to this guy. If he got hit by a bus or suicide tomorrow. The world would have NOT lost anyone of importance.

I'll let Tom Brady throw me a ball for $150K every week. Guy is an idiot, we should have asylums for his type.

Certain NFL wide receivers seem to be of a type - AB, Chad Ochocinco, Terrell Owens... real Knuckleheads. TO was paying $50k per month in child support. They’re all broke now.

Then there are the good guys, Jerry Rice, Andre Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald... they give to charities, don’t get arrested, don’t embarrass their teammates. Randy Moss made the transition from diva to good guy. Now he’s a respected commentator.

Wide receivers are definitely interesting.

She also asked him for money multiple times, and traveled with him for years, and says the sex eventually became consensual. She only brought about the allegations after AB refused to give her money again. I'm not saying he didn't do the things he's accused of, but she's not a great accuser as it appears she wanted to hang on to his money and fame.
