So, if I told you two years ago that on this day in 2019, Vontaze Burfict would be suspended for the rest of the year... but A.B. wouldn't even be employed, would anyone have believed me?

The first part is believable just based on he would fuck up and get the power banned. But AB should still be playing if he wasn’t legit crazy.
 
Welp. My chargers are in full charger mode. Defense is now injured as fuck and our offensive line is missing our killer left guard.

Football gods, please save us from the curse of Spanos.

More Antonio Brown news. tldr: he fucked up his legal deposition by acting a fool, it was video taped, and now he wants it blocked from reaching the public.

Antonio Brown was a childish, foul-mouthed monster during his deposition for his condo-trashing case last week ... this according to new court docs filed by the opposing lawyer.

As we previously reported, Brown appeared at a Miami office building on Sept. 24 to be questioned as part of a lawsuit in which he's accused of going berserk at his luxury condo, causing thousands of dollars in damage, but never paying the bill.

But, attorneys for the complex -- The Mansions at Acqualina -- say once AB sat down for the depo, things quickly spiraled out of control.

"Antonio Brown was extremely noncompliant and flagrantly disorderly, to the point that he frustrated the totality of the proceeding."

Oh, it gets worse ... the attorney claims Brown's deposition was filled with "tumultuous tirades, defiant rants, use of profane language and refusal to comport himself in a civilized and grown-up manner."

"Once the deposition started, almost immediately, [Brown] was belligerent and pugnacious, refusing to answer the most routine of questions."

Instead of answering questions, Brown allegedly "chanted, over and over, as if a mantra, a narrative of his own warped concept of the proceeding, namely that we should only address his counterclaim."

Brown has claimed in legal docs that the condo owners failed to provide adequate security which resulted in a burglary of Brown's unit, in which he claims $80,000 in cash and a gun were stolen.

The deposition ended when Brown started a 5-minute countdown ... and then walked out of the office at noon -- long before it was scheduled to end, the docs say.

According to the docs, Acqualina's legal team wants the judge to force Brown to sit for ANOTHER deposition.

Plus, they want a judge to hit Brown with sanctions for his behavior and they want a "special master" to attend the next depo to make sure Brown complies and behaves himself.

It's a trash rag source, but they're quoting the lawyers:
 
AB is legit crazy. I thought it was a meme but there is too much evidence now, dude is a nut job.
Skip to 8:49 for AB’s weird vid. (Phone posting and don’t remember how to link a time stamp)

Edit. Are the Pats doing some weird 4d chess by making themselves look anemic on offense just to fuck with the rest of the league?

Belichick is still the only coach in the league who tinkers his team specifically to his opponent, so some early struggles aren't surprising. They've had a lot of parts move in and out of the offense at WR and FB (holy shit they still utilize fullbacks going back to last year) and haven't been able to replace Gronk. Brady will break down eventually, but I wouldn't doubt them until we get farther into the year.

All this being said, at some point you can't play anymore, and someday Brady will hit that wall. Problem is, he's been called washed up early on for four years now, and they've gotten to 3 Super Bowls and won two of them.

Watched an analysis video and can't find it now but it had to do with if you have a defensive scheme that works, use it once and don't do it again because Brady picks up on it immediately and exploits it the next time.

They've been calling him washed up for more than 4 years honestly. He keeps on winning football games.
 
We needed some serious refball and a few lucky breaks to beat them, but I'm really starting to wonder if the joke that the Browns will simultaneously win every divisional game and go 6-10 is prophetic or not.
 
49ers Defense just crushed the Rams today.
Am I surprised? no, Am I shocked how bad the Rams are? yes.

Very true. Also the Cowboys, where did you go boys? It’s the fucking Jets lol! How did you lose to the JETS!
 
Anyone got the Doxx for the NFL ref crew who called tonight's game? i'm thinking about taking a drive...

Man, just fuck this game tonight. Out of all the lousy calls by the refs this year, those last two flags tonight took the cake. Bakhtiari had his hands in Trey Flowers' facemask the 1st bogus penalty, and then for the 2nd bogus penalty, I have never seen such textbook holding be completely ignored by an offciating crew like that. Not even a Lions fan and I feel pissed off.
