I wouldn't touch Antonio Brown for the Vikings with a ten foot pole.

Check this out for the irony:

One of the players holding Antonio Brown back from the near-altercation with GM Mike Mayock was ... Vontaze Burfict.

That is irony

Teams almost NEVER enforce the fines. Antonio Brown to me obviously has mental health issues. Playing hardball with him on the fines was only going to end in issues. This situation may be unsalvageable before Brown even plays one snap for the Raiders. I would recommend him entering a treatment facility.

Maybe they are trying to emulate the Raiders of old by bringing together a bunch of misfits. Sadly mistaken MO as a bunch of misfits in this day an age are more likely to go 0-16.

Maybe the 9 figure contracts remove all semblance of team first.

Maybe Julio doesn't want to get SHUT DOWN by Rhodes and have to settle for a few million less

He has missed as many practices, walk thrus, and meetings as possible....he just wants to not be there until the season starts and get paid. The situation is Brown---nothing to do with the Raiders. 3rd big problem that has come to light this preseason only.

Exactly. The stuff with Pittsburgh and then the helmet and now this. He is IMO OBVIOUSLY MENTALLY ILL. I bet he can still play though. Honestly I don't recall a team ever enforcing the practice fines against a well known player. Has it ever happened?

You show me evidence of even one well known player that they enforced the fines on. Usually when a player is holding out from camp for a new contract they start fining him, but when the contract is signed they waive the fines. I'm not saying it hasn't happened. I'm just not aware of it ever happening.

Pitt obliged him with a trade. Oak was the only team stupid enough to give up assets for a certified nut job.

Thought Oak was foolish to trade Cooper and Mack. Both were young and entering their prime. Brown doesn't even fit with what they started doing.

Status: offline 		It'll be interesting to see the mentality of the offense this year. I'm hoping we can be a little more innovative and less predictable, running more plays per set. Last few years, outside of having bad o-lines, everyone knew what play were were running simply by the formation/package we brought it. It was very evident on 3rd and short as most times their defense met the our RB in the backfield . I also hate playing for FGs in the redzone and the typical "HB draw" for 2 yards on second and long.

I'm not holding my breath since we have a ton of TEs which will dictate more max protect and crowded boxes, but here's to hoping we have a better year than last... Skol Vikes! Also, for tonight, NO PACK NO!!!

Looks like a preseason game for BOTH teams... love Rodgers lil pissy faces and snarky daggers at his own players...
