Breaking News out of ALAMEDA, Calif. – The Raiders have released WR Antonio Brown from the team today.
And there ends the HBO mini-series about the troubled honeymoon of a proud sports franchise and its brief marriage to a diva athlete. This morning the marriage vows were rescinded and an annulment was granted.
The franchise saves $29 million dollars and the diva gets to tempt another desperate eligible bachelor to put a ring on it. I'm sure after watching this roller-coaster mini-series that potential bachelors will only go courting this gold digger with a pre-nuptial agreement in hand, something the Raiders obviously were smart enough to do.
Raider Nation should be thankful that the team finally saw the writing on the wall and let go of their hyped highlight fantasies of the diva. Though his skills are undeniably extraordinary, everything else about him is unstable and unpredictable. And sooner or later the diva was going to do what divas do; display their narcissism and selfishness by holding out and/or not fulfilling their part of the contract. They basically take the money and run. "Well, not up in here!"
Congratulations Raiders on Moving On from the Diva!
You've got to know when to Hold'em
Know when to Fold'em
Know when to Walk Away
And Know when to Run
You never count your Money
When you're sittin' at the Table
There'll be time enough for Countin'
When the dealin's Done
