Two more obvious NFL happenings this week...

• You can pretty much cross off the Steelers for next year.

Antonio Brown now has a domestic violence situation out there, and it's becoming more and more clear there's a police cover-up going with it.

Last month, Hollywood, FL, Antonio Brown was involved in a domestic incident, and the police reports appear to state Brown pushed a woman down during it.  The NFL is investigating, but that's another star NFL'er who's just fucked his team without lube.

• And yet another media superstar learns you don't fuck the NFL.

The Bob Costas removal from the NFL was NOT consensual, it was learned today.

According to Gizmodo's The AV Club, on an ESPN:60 to air soon Costas admits his talking about concussions got him fired from the NFL coverage.

When are people going to learn that you don't piss off the NFL unless you have new career aspirations???

(Hat-tip to my anonymous friend for tipping me off on that one.)

Oh, and before anyone gets too excited for The Alliance of American Football league starting up tonight -- it's becoming clear it's a "second-chance" league for the NFL.  Half the games this year are on the NFL Network, for one...
