The Bucs Have Finally Released Antonio Brown

What an absolute rollercoaster ride that I think we are all sad is over. For those keeping track at home, Antonio Brown is officially no longer a Buc after the Bucs hit him with a very carefully worded Photoshop statement that would make any insurance agency proud almost 96 hours after this quote was said in the postgame press conference.

I don't know if the Bucs were trying to work things out behind the scenes, didn't want to face Antonio Brown on another team in the playoffs, or had to cross all their T's and dot all their I's for an NFL transaction that happens seemingly daily. But based simply on the actions of today, I would say the easiest way to ensure your release from an employer is to leak text messages from your boss, your coworkers most trusted adviser, and then call the most important person in your company Marv from Home Alone.

I will go to my early grave convinced that if Antonio Brown didn't compare Tom Brady to Marv from Home Alone and attempt to sewer Brady's health sherpa Alex Guerrero, he would still be on the Bucs and probably put up a monster stat line in every game of the playoffs since I think Brady is a lot like Portnoy. If he likes you and you don't lose his trust, you are on scholarship for life with him. But if you cross him even once, you are out of the circle of trust for life.

I also won't dare to take sides in this whole injury back and forth. I think that's HIPAA. I will say I hope AB gets healthy on all fronts and returns to an NFL team soon because he is as fun to watch on the field as he is cover off of it.
