Antonio Brown keeps stoking the flames of a dumpster fire

[Big Daddy Joe]

I'm sorry but until you showed up here I never heard of 1pittsburgh. But even though I'm not a football fan I don't follow it at all. I not only heard of Antonio Brown, but I knew what he looked like.
And this was before he started showing his ass!
As I said celebrities should be held to a higher standard.
Especially sports stars, they influence and are emulated by the kids.
And doing what he and you for that matter did was wreckless endangerment and wreckless driving.

Reckless endangerment depends on the situation, the vehicle, and the skill level of the driver. I believe that he was driving a Porsche GT3 RS which accelerates very quickly, decelerates very quickly, steers very well, and has great stability at high speeds. If he used good situational awareness, it's possible that he did not put anyone in danger. When I used to speed like that, I did it in ways that didn't put anyone in danger. You may not have heard of 1P, and I'm not gonna divulge too much personal info, but I can assure you that I'm more qualified than most to make this assessment.

You may want him to pay a tougher penalty because he's a celebrity, but that 's just not the reality.

I stopped emulating sports stars as soon as OJ did his thing.
Back to topic……AB had more second chances than a 3rd grader. All his dumpster fire moves keep coming back to burn him. He needs someone to watch over him but that’s never gonna happen so I see him broke, unalived, or in jail within 5 years.

I don't care if he is Mario Andretti, I believe McKnight rd is 35 or 40 mph. Doing 110 was exactly wreckless.
Professionals lose it and are killed all the time.
He is a man child with too much money.
These alot of these guys are just physical savants.

And apparently there is no use arguing with you because you seem to approve of his and your own behavior. You know you were both wrong. And had you or he killed someone they would have hung you, and rightfully so.
I don't care what car he or you were driving!

The section he was on is 45 and divided by a jersey barrier.

I agree that we were both wrong. I don't approve of what we did. People shouldn't be doubling the speed limit on public roads. I paid for it in insurance premiums. I don't do it any more and now I pay $80 a month for full coverage on a nice car. What I don't agree with is the notion that it automatically puts people's lives at risk. There are ways to do it that are a lot safer than other ways. I also don't agree that we should have been fired for it and thankfully our employers agree with us on that.

he is in the fast lane, someone ahead of him sees his car in the rear mirror but doesnt realize the speed he is moving and proceeds to go into the fast lane to pass a car in front of him....wham, a family is rear ended by an idiot traveling at a high rate of speed

you cant say what he was doing could not have put others at risk

[Jacuzzme]

Going that fast ANYWHERE is dangerous to yourself and, more importantly, others. Even on a track, hitting the wall in a normal passenger car without a safety cage could easily kill the driver. Man-child is a perfect description of AB.

I said:

I'm well aware of the danger the situation you described would pose. It's a scenario that would be a lot less safe than if there were no cars. You can see well ahead in that section, so you would know if there were cars or not. We don't know if there were any other cars, so what I can say is that we don't know if he put others at risk. I suspect hat if there were other cars, we'd have heard about it. Also mitigating the danger is the fact that the GT3 RS can safely go from 45 to 120 and back to 45 in a very short amount of time.

Young guys with money like to drive their sports cars fast. As long as there are sports cars and young guys with money, that's not gonna change. He was wrong. He suffered the consequences of the law. No one was injured. No one was fired from their job.

LOL That's not even close to being true. For example, you'd have to be a completely awful driver to hit a wall on the high banks of Daytona if you were driving around there at 120 in a GT3 RS. A half decent driver who's not afraid could average 170 around the oval there in a GT3 RS and not crash, and even if you did crash, you wouldn't have a head on collision with a wall. It would be a glancing blow, and you would almost certainly survive. BTW, the GT3 RS comes with a roll cage and 5 point harness, but even in a stock 911, with a regular seat belt, you could hit a wall at Daytona and survive 999 times out of 1000. On top of that, an average driver could drive stock base model 911 at 120 around there for hours and never crash. I deal with the actual physics of the situation. I don't deal with irrational fear.


The bottom line is, AB did what he did, and paid the same consequences that anyone else who got caught would.

New Lawsuits for AB, as a deadbeat who doesn't pay for services
https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nf...its-in-florida

This was after his fiasco with the Empire

And now the NFL has adopted "The Antonio Brown Rule"

https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profoo...on-for-players

One change arises in part from receiver Antonio Brown’s short-lived stint with the Patriots in 2019.

After Brown finagled his release from the Raiders, the Patriots signed him. Then, after only one game, Brown was sued for sexual assault and rape. It later came to light that Brown knew of the threatened litigation before signing with the Patriots, but that he did not disclose it to them.

The Personal Conduct Policy now imposes an obligation on all players to disclose potential violations to teams before signing contracts with them.

At one point AB blamed James Harrison for his CTE and mentioned an illegal helmet. If I remember he was denied his choice of helmet as a Raider and that seemed to be the start of his career downfall. I hope he gets some help but it doesn't seem like he is heading that direction anytime soon.

I sincerely doubt the cte theory. AB was an asshole long before that......... he has a disease all right, its called being a cocky asshole. troy was goiung to kick his ass and to get troy pissed, you have to be pretty bad

[HDGristle]

Ninja. I'd say his career downfall started in the same town as the upswing. Here.

He was an ass pre-Burfict, but it got worse post
