    Re: Under/Over how long after retirement until AB is broke.

    I expect AB to get drug-tested (and fail) on the first day of training camp. During his suspension, AB will do something really stupid (as in: unlawful) and be in court. I see him heading towards a lifetime ban, and out of the league by the start of the 2021 season.

    How long before he goes broke depends on how much of that “guaranteed” money the Raiders try to recoup.

    I don't hate Brown, I really think he's either bi-polar or a product of a shitty upbringing or both.

    I think he’s gone off the deep end.

    Nah, this year it'll be pretty tame, something questionable but merely embarrassing. Like getting pulled over for speeding at 3 a.m. with a woman in the passenger seat who turns out to be a transsexual escort (he swears he didn't know (about either of those special circumstances (she was an ... *ahem* ... "Instagram model"))). Also, I will bet anything he gets robbed of $100,000+ in jewelry at some point this offseason.

    Then NEXT offseason it'll be the gun going off during the altercation outside a nightclub, and he's in all manner of legal trouble to start the year, and Carr gets injured again, and he just walks out on the team, and then while AWOL he gets in more legal trouble. If I had to guess, it'll be something sketchy related to the party lifestyle, where it's just plausible that he's a stooge being taken advantage of by unsavory characters ... like someone else gets caught with a kilo of cocaine at one of his houses while he's not there ... and then as time goes on you find out that person also had access to bank accounts and luxury cars in Brown's name ... and the Raiders are doing surprisingly well thanks to some random rookie from, like, New Mexico State ... and just at the height of his irrelevance, some really weird shit comes out - like Brown and this guy would go to a Miami massage parlor together and get golden showers, and it's immediately denied by his attorney and nobody ever actually proves it, but it becomes part of sketchy NFL lore like Ron Mexico, and his attorney announces he's in a rehab center.

    Then after THAT, maybe he's out of the league, or maybe he gets some ban and conditional reinstatement and a couple of year-to-year deals ... who knows.

    A guy like that can blow through $30 mil faster than you can say rocks and blocks, though.

    When you "lose" $80,000 like it's a $1 bill how long do you think that $30 million will last?

    Not sure, but also factoring in Cali state taxes, lol. I wonder if he thought that through.

    This is a sad thread. Taking a poll on a guys financial mismanagement because he left the football team you are a fan of is childish and petty.

    Yeah, it’s sad. All of the childish and petty Steelers fans should become Patriots fans.

    I think they are taking a poll on his financial mismanagement because he is stupid. Which was also a contributing factor in his decision to leave the football team.

    He could very easily end up on some dumb reality show and then he likely won't go broke

    I would almost watch it if they brought that show back just for this. Just to see what would happen if two people that crazy and stupid were on camera at once. Almost.

    Terry Bradshaw is a way bigger asshole than Big Ben!!!!

    James Harrison is a loser and will die a loser!

    LeGarrette Blount should go play in traffic and be forced to give Bill Belichick backrubs for the next decade!

    I hope Le'Veon Bell loses his voice and can't rap anymore!

    AB needs to implode on national TV the first time his quarterback misses him and loses his shit so bad he shits himself in front of the world and never catches another pass in the NFL!

    Oh yeah.....The Patriots SUCK!!!!

    Black and Gold forever baby!!! Suck it Patriot fan wannabe!!!

    Money schmoney. I think the dude has lost his mind. The speeding ticket, the furniture throwing, the “stolen” money from his safe... then, walking out at halftime... followed by appearing high during interviews.

    In two years, we will probably be saying that the Steelers made the right choice to get rid of AB. Sure, we miiight have gotten more in compensation, but then again, no one was offering more than the Raiders. Really. Several teams offered higher picks, but they wouldn’t agree to extending AB. Other teams will simply “out” on AB. Ergo, maybe a R3 & a R5 was indeed the best offer we could get.

    “Keep him, sit him.”

    It’s logical, but then again, if AB gets suspended this August (Goodell could suspend AB for the furniture throwing incident), then a R3 & a R5 suddenly look very smart. In fact, when Martavis Bryant got traded, Colbert “knew” that Bryant was probably going to be suspended... and, maybe Colbert has that same knowledge about AB. Really. It would not surprise me at all.

    SUMMAION:
    AB has gone off of the deep end.

    maybe, but he got more than $11 million on top of his current contract including $30.125 million fully guaranteed so he's looking pretty smart right now.

    When he gets to the bottom, he goes back to the top of the slide...


    Gruden could “handle” Keyshawn long enough to get a ring... before Gruden suspended him for the final 7 games of the next season. Likewise, I think Gruden will feed AB target after target after target... but, alas, Carr is no Ben. So, we will see an AB tantrum along the sideline, but Gruden will appease AB by trading Carr (who will lead the league in INTs with 25). After that... get out your popcorn.

    Off of the field, though, even Gruden cannot stop that eventual meltdown by AB.

    Lastly, when the “on the field” mess catches up to the “off of the field” shenanigans, watch out!!!

    Then why come here? I said I don't hate the guy I just think he's got serious issues in life besides football. The guy lost his Bentley (then found it), lost $80K in cash, had guns stolen, had someone in his apartment throwing furniture down several flights that almost hit a child, live streamed on Facebook with the other dumb ass bookend Bell about facing the Patriots BEFORE we played the Jaguars, was caught dangerously going over 100mph, oh and basically QUIT on his football team then acted like a child on social media about it. And I did put #4 in the poll in case you failed to notice which gave everyone the choice to say he'll be fine.

    Don’t know how long it will take him to spend it all, but dude was financially savvy enough to get a 20 million dollar raise, and punked the Steelers into giving away the best WR in the NFL for almost nothing.

    And, Nevada doesn’t have a state income tax.

    "Financially savvy" was the last thing I would call what Brown did. I guess it did coincidentally have a financially positive result, but it was about as savvy as getting high on PCP and rolling around in shit all day screaming about the second coming of Jesus.

    Before he gets to Nevada, he has to play 1-2 years in California, which means he pays quadruple in taxes what he saves. Real savvy.

    Exactly. Unless he plays well into his mid 30's he'll be paying the People's Republic of Kalifornia style taxes. I hope he doesn't like driving his $200K cars very fast. Won't be doing that in Kalifornia either. I once spent 6 hours trying to drive from SF to Berkley and I could see my destination the whole time.
