I think the NFL made it clear to the Patriots -- and Antonio Brown has been fired AGAIN!!!

For the second time in 13 days, Antonio Brown's conduct has gotten him fired from an NFL team.

The Patriots fired him today after texts indicated he's threatening at least one of his victims, even as late as yesterday or the day before.

I think the NFL made it clear:  If you want 19-0 and that last ride off into the sunset, you need this guy gone and gone NOW.

There's already enough, frankly, that if the NFL wanted to go a different direction, there's a reason to rig this off the Patriots.  So it may be too late.  But if it is, then it can't be Kansas City either for the Super Bowl because of Tyreek Hill!!

But that's gotta be a record:

• Thursday, September 5:  Altercation with Raiders GM Mike Mayock, including a possible threat of violence and a possible racial slur, both by Brown.
• Friday, September 6:  Apology to the team, and it appeared he'd be playing Monday night.
• Saturday, September 7:  Raiders fine Brown over $200,000 and cut the guaranteed portion of his contract.
• In response:  Brown demands to be released.
• In response to THAT:  Brown is fired from the Raiders.  This begins a cascade of players wanting to leave bad situations, involving teams like the Dolphins, Jaguars, and even a malcontent first-rounder with the Cowboys (who now has been relegated to the Dolphins).
• Four hours later:  Brown signs with the Patriots, the team he wanted to be with all along.
• Monday, September 9:  Reports surface Brown was using social-media maneuvering to get on the Patriots long before his release from the Raiders.
• Later that day:  A Rhode Island NFL fan threatens a school shooting in Foxboro, MA over the signing of Brown.
• Tuesday, September 10:  A former trainer of Brown's alleges sexual assault and rape by non-consensual masturbation by Brown while in his employ.  She files a civil lawsuit after settlement talks by Brown fail.  The Patriots, apparently, did NOT know of this action.
• By Saturday:  Eight of the top ten commented stories on Pro Football Talk involved Antonio Brown.
• Sunday, September 15:  Brown has eight targets and four catches for 56 yards and a touchdown -- and a rush for five yards, in a 43-0 New England win over Miami.
• Monday, September 16:  Sports Illustrated comes out with an exposition, claiming over two dozen interviewees had various negative interactions with Brown, including one artist who was approached by a basically-naked Brown in a suggestive manner.  Many unpaid debts are also alleged.
• Also Monday:  The NFL meets with the former trainer for ten hours.
• During this week:  Two major endorsers of Brown, helmet manufacturer Xenith and Nike, both cut ties.
• Wednesday, September 18:  Brown sends the artist from the September 10 lawsuit a series of threatening text messages.
• That evening:  A FOX Sports Radio interview with some of the parties writing the Sports Illustrated story reveals that, since the Monday release, four additional parties have come forward to SI with stories about Brown, and at least one of them is going to file criminal charges against Brown which are neither sex nor debt related.
• Thursday, September 19:  Said artist and her lawyers contact the NFL to demand action that Brown cease such conduct.
• Friday, September 20: The league opens a second Personal Conduct investigation against Brown (when they could probably open at least FIVE OR MORE of them) for the texts.
• As a result:  The New England Patriots fire Brown, ending his NFL career.

That's one guy.  Two weeks.  This does not count the cryotherapy, the two helmet appeals, the entire circus of the Raider training camp, etc.

If that is not an absolute indictment on not only the National Football League and it's fans, but the entire goddamn sport of football as a whole, I don't know what to tell you!

But the police need to take this fucker in NOW.  He's done in football.  He's not employable as the local fry cook at your local McDonald's at this point!  You're going to have establish a psychological make-up to charge him with anything, because there's no way a reasonable person can view him as anything short of either insane or highly dangerous.  BOTH require police intervention.

This decision is Goodell.  I'm no longer 100% sure this is just the rigging, but as a matter of the complete chaos that the league has been in since the start of the season.  Much of it centering around Brown...

But make no mistake:  This fucker has done enough to be the first player in the history of the league to be banned under Personal Conduct without committing murder first...

...  or...  has...  he????
