He's a fucking trainwreck. I was surprised the Pats even bothered.
Why not? Belichick has no reservations about pulling the plug on these guys if it blows up like this. Give it a try to see if it works. If not, move on quickly. That's exactly what he did.

Because it was pretty obvious that the guy is a tremendous nightmare and has issue after issue.
It took New England a week to figure that out and give up.
I can't imagine it was even worth the PR shitstorm. Belichick was visibly annoyed by the questions yesterday and was already fed up.
I think there's a good chance he gets some kind of treatment, and then we get the usual reputation-rehab tour: The tearful interview on 20/20 or 60 Minutes, the talk show circuit, the humble supplication to return to football.
hearing him and looking at him, something isnt right.
Sure Pats at first thought they would deal with him this yr, maybe win a SB and say see ya
Not worth it even for them
He will either straighten up and fly right or Bill won't waste any time getting rid of him.
These players are a cancer to the team and it doesn't matter if the other player's like them or not. It doesn't matter how great they are either. You can't win as a team consistently with them if they don't put the team first and simply saying the right things to the press is not how to do that. They undermine the authority of the leaders by spreading their negativity to the other players on the team. Hence it spreads .... like a cancer.
it's very likely that Bill didn't know about the sexual assault allegations when they signed him, so these questions were probably a blindside to him.
They only knew that AB tried to fistfight a general manager, missed practice time for ruining his feet, made a scene by showing up to training camp in a hot air balloon, has previously thrown furniture out of highrises, threatened retirement because his helmet was no longer approved as safe, publicly called on the Steelers to trade him on Twitter because he was unhappy, publicly called on the Raiders to release him on Twitter before he played a single snap with them because he was unhappy, called his GM a racial slur, punted a football across the field during practice stating "Fine me for that!", was in fact fined for that, and was so detrimental to the Raiders they determined they could void $30 million in guarantees of his contract.
So yeah, the Patriots most likely didn't know about the sexual assault and found it to be an unwelcome and unexpected distraction."
They are the one team that doesn't care about the local media reaction. They already couldn't be hated more and next year they're gone anyway. They'll hope that by the time they move to Vegas, this all blows over. Also Gruden and the Spawn of Al Davis get to save some face if it works out.

Ya know, you're really nit-picking with that rant.
(...And you forgot about uploading a private phone call with his head coach to YouTube.)

RE: I took a lot of hits for saying this weeks ago Â
But I think AB has serious issues needs some intervention / professional help. All the signs point to him being increasingly violent.
I wouldn’t argue with you for one second. Listening to him reading his words if they are truly his is actually scary. There is some kind of personality disorder either playing out or entering his life anew
IMHO

Idk, I think there's a difference between being a belligerent jackass and a rapist. The Pats thought he was only the former.

You didn’t get hits for saying that. I think most people would agree with you. I certainly do. He needs help. But what you got hits on was you were treating him like a sympathetic figure. He deserves no sympathy whatsoever.
You wonder if there is any clawback for his bonus money. It wouldn’t be the first time partial bonus money was recovered
I think it was $1mm base. The rest of the $9mm was roster bonuses?im sure someone who knows for sure will chime in. But... he’s not getting all that $9mm.
He’s definitely getting 1 game check - and that might be it.

This AB saga is one of the craziest stories the NFL has seen in a long time, so of course Francesa gets Eddie Coleman on immediately to talk Mets.
right here. - ( New Window )
sorry had to said !!!
Miami could pick him up. What do they have to lose.

Or maybe he's just lost it altogether.

The tinfoil hats are in mourning.
Asking the real questions right here.
That’s what I want to know
Yes. League probably told their star team what’s about to go down. He’s nuclear waste at this point.

And they start a new reality TV show
Oh wait that already happened. OK how about he is a guest on big brother?
you know a suspension is coming. He is a scumbag if all of this stuff is true
