He's still p*ssed that the team and the league told him he couldn't wear his old helmet and as a compromise, found one that he liked. Dude is a joke.

I thought he was ed about the fines. I stayed far away from him in my fantasy drafts.

The fines stem from him missing a practice due to his helmet issues.

The NFL season is back! Go Pack Go!

But whatever happens this weekend, try not to overreact. It is week 1.

Clowney is going to Seattle. Seattle will give up the following to the Texans: a 3rd round pick, LB Jacob Martin, and pass rusher Barkevious Mingo.

J J Watt....will disappear

Go Pack Go!

Even though the offense struggled, this felt like a very strong victory. It has been a LONG time since we've seen a dominant defensive effort like that from the Packers. It's refreshing to not need our offense to bail us out all the time. There's still work to do, but I'm excited for this defense.

Its insane....but also not unexpected. But I thought they would at least get one year from him. Like TO before him...these guys think they are bigger than the game...they're not

When their talent no longer outshines their terrible attitude there’s just no point in keeping them around. And these guys have been catered to from such an early age they just can’t fathom it will ever stop. It always does.

What a waste of talent. He has the talent to be one of the best WRs ever, but instead he'll be remembered for his antics and behaviors. Much like TO, which is why it took him longer to get to the Hall of Fame.

Brown mentioned on Instagram how people don't appreciate his talent, and instead they want him to conform to their demands. You mean like being a decent human? And doing your job that you are getting paid millions to do? And you signed a contract saying you would do it? Man, he does have it rough.

Meanwhile Julio Jones is set to sign a 3-year $66 million extension. Because he's rewarded for his talents and his class.

That's the weird thing with AB, he was a 6th rounder who worked very hard to be where he was, but the attitude started to develop about 3 years ago. He just cost himself 30 million with all his antics this summer. I am sure he will sign somewhere but not for that money and at 31...he has what 2 or 3 more solid years tops?

I wouldn't want to Packers to sign him, even if he paid us to be there.

He'll end up on the Patriots more than likely. Would be surprised if he didnt.

I can see him being an Eagle or a Patriot. Both love a reclamation project at a cheap price.

I don’t want him either.

As anticipated, Brown signs with the Patriots. And just when people couldn't hate the Patriots more, they turn around and do this. I hope he's a locker room problem there, too.
