Antonio Brown extradited from Dubai

Post by steelheadtrout » Fri Nov 07, 2025 1:02 am

To face attempted murder charges in FL.

If I were a defense lawyer, I would argue CTE induced mania.

(but I'm not)

His lawyer has already done some impressive lawyering on the morons behalf. He secured him just a 10k bond on an attempted murder charge along with house arrest and the moron refused to return to south Florida.

If you or I were wanted for attempted murder and had already shown to be a moronic headcase who will attempt to evade arrest in the past, there's not a chance in hell you'd get such a deal.

I'd love to see how the judge actually agreed to sign off on that.

Free AB. Almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, not murder.

I thought AB was broke? Where'd he get the money to hire a high-powered attorney, much less abscond to UAE?

Oddly, getting locked up might be the only thing that keeps him alive more than 5+ years.

What a shame..........

Thinking this nut can probably step into the locker room, throw on equipment and jersey.....
and be our always open #2.....
LOL.
He is only 37.....

If he had his head together....or listened to great advice........
He should be winding down his NFL career as #2 in almost everything behind Jerry Rice.

This piece of garbage had a legitimate chance to surpass Jerry Rice given the rule changes.

At the age of 30 - before he went off the deep end - he had roughly half of Jerry Rice's yards, and a little over a 1/3 of his TDs.

Never was going to catch Rice.

He will have significant salary potential most of the rest of his life.

With his name recognition he could setup a YouTube channel, as an easy example, and literally make millions from just letting someone film him and tell a story, and pay themselves off his brand cachet. He will have that for a good while…ditto for Instagram etc. The same business model that dude who runs Ben’s channel exists for AB. But AB’s sandbox is so much larger than Ben’s since he has no reputation to worry about at this point, and I would guess he could quickly earn more than Ben does.

These YouTube guys with decent subscribers 500K to 1 million make $1,000 a day at times when their content is popular.

Definitely was never gonna catch Rice, but AB definitely had a chance to put up the second greatest numbers in NFL history.

What an epic fall from grace.

Antonio Brown was the best. I wore his jersey proudly in 2023 & 2024 on my visits to Acrisure.

The catch on Fernando Mendoza’s incredible Heisman moment yesterday. That catch was a Sunday afternoon for AB.

Definitely not with Tomlin but can you imagine him with LaFluer or McVay or Reid? They would scheme him into places where nobody was within 10 yards of him.
