Antonio Brown threatens to sit over helmet certification.

Maulbert · Aug 9, 2019

Good god, this man might genuinely be stupid. He's threatened to sit out if he's not allowed to wear his preferred helmet design, which lost it's certification with the National Operating Committee for Standards and Athletic Equipment.

Apparently, he's been trying to sneak the helmet into practice.

AB needs to give his inflated head a shake.

Sports Hernia · Aug 9, 2019

He’s nuttier than squirrel turds.

MrThortan · Aug 9, 2019

Ah he is just trying to make Hard Knocks interesting. Really though, for millions of dollars I would wear a orange cone if they wanted me to.

chris98251 · Aug 9, 2019

Really all he has to do is send it back to the manufacturer and get it re certified, they may have to work it a bit but that's an option.

SOOOOOOOOOOO happy the 49ers didn't pursue this trade. LOL.

Niners have had their fair share of drama so I ain't gonna pretend they haven't, but man this dude is off his rocker.

I seem to remember some folks around here wanting us to make a move for him. :34853_doh:

Dez Bryant is still available. 8)
Might be able to get EE from *allas for a 1st or 2nd at this point as well. 8)

Dude needs help.

Cyrus12 · Aug 10, 2019

All a work for hard knocks ratings...

Threedee · Aug 10, 2019

The man just needs a helmet that is "Burfect Safe." That should be the term for the highest certification of football helmet.

sutz · Aug 10, 2019

Back when I rode motorcycles, they used to ask a simple question about how much to spend on a helmet.

"How much is your head worth?"

unno:

He wants to play with a 10 year old helmet. The league doesn't want to let him, fearing lawsuits, etc. The team is basically staying out of it. Now I guess he's threatening to retire if he doesn't get to play in his unsafe helmet.

I guess Antonio can always man the reception desk at Sports Center while this all blows over.

I know you aren't serious and I like EE, but I can't see anyone whos last name is Shanahan giving up that kind of draft capitol for a RB. I'm not saying it isn't wise, I'm just sayin' it just isn't in their DNA. LOL.

They have made their careers turning 2nd round and lower guys into 1300-1500 yard backs. I mean hell, they used a 2 on Portis, turned him into a star, and promptly traded him. LOL.

Terrell Davis, Olandis Gary, Alfred Morris, Arian Foster (and I could go on).....This system just creates opportunities for one cut downhill runners. I mean hell, Seattle was running that same ZBS with Lynch and he was perfect for it.

As for Brown, I'll take Deebo Samuel and Jalen Hurd any day over the drama that is AB...and I'm guessing peeps here would rather have Metcalf.

chris98251 · Aug 12, 2019

Brown, EE, T.O, Moss, Sharp, Bryant, all could and can play, problem is much like some here thought of Sherman are high maintenance and can be looked at as divisive on team, there is a point where the return isn't worth the time invested to clean up the damage they can cause.

I think it was 5 Gold Rings that said he blamed Matt Flynn for ending TO's career because of his bad play in the 2012 preseason. No way. Owens's mouth did far more damage than any bad passes could.

T.O talked his way off teams several times, he was highly competitive and had a tendency to call out people, this kind of made team mates pissed off.

EE is one dumb incident away from permanent banishment. Great player on the field, meat-headed idiot off the field.
Yes, I’d rather go with younger, cheaper, maybe slightly less talented players over drama queens that could end their own careers early over being a moron.

I'd rather have Saquon Barkley than EE.
