A wife lost her husband. A mother lost her daughter. Sisters lost their sister. Parents lost their son. The world lost an icon.
This matters. Loss matters. Pain matters. Things we can’t have back matter.
Most of the bullshit we think matters, doesn’t.

2. He could’ve played by himself today and carried his bag. Or, Adam Hayes could’ve given consent.
3. While we��d love everyone vaccinated (I am) it’s his choice

Another bleak reality if CFB is cancelled, is that most college towns rely on football season to keep their doors open. Visiting fans stay in hotels and eat/drink at bars and restaurants. Away games students/fans pack the same spots. More than a football season will be lost.

With all due respect Antonio, Saturday's are for CFB with at least 10k players who would kill for your paycheck to play. GO. AWAY.
By fining Antonio Brown $215,073.53 last night for conduct detrimental to the team on Sept. 4, the Raiders voided the $29.125 million worth of guaranteed money in his deal, per league sources.
This could help explain why Brown is now asking the Raiders for his release.
