[rbstern]

Brown earned $80 mil during his NFL career.  Skrine: $41 mil.

Proving Brown could best Skrine, both on the field, and off.

Just really sad.   All you have to do is not be a 100% total dumbass and you are okay.  You can even be an 85% dumbass and still have a better retirement than most of us working schlepps.  

[Barry McCockinner]

I for one, am shocked.

[Darnold's Forehead]

Good.  Very happy to hear this.

Sign this Beastie Boy! 

[nycdan]

He lost his shirt

[Untouchable]

Didn’t he lose a quarter of it showering his ex in dildo shaped gummy bears as a rib or something?

[FootballLove]

I also am totally shocked. How the hell did it take so long for Brown to go bankrupt??? I'd have be my house on the under, like in under 2 years.

Guy with multiple baby mama's who is the poster child for CTE goes bankrupt.

Who saw that coming?

He only earned $80 mil?  He was the best WR in the NFL for like 5-6 years

Being a dumbass is harder than it sounds when your career causes brain damage.

He played in Pittsburgh.  They don’t overpay.

IIRC, he walked away from $50 mil guaranteed with the Raiders and then spent the next two years playing for the minimum.

Even worse than I remembered. The Steelers pawn him off the Raiders for a 3 and a 5. The Mayock/Gruden Raiders sign him to a $50 mil extension at 31 years old. Brown then gets frostbite on his feet from a cryotherapy session, then acts like a prick all offseason because the NFL phased out the helmet he likes to wear and he doesn’t want to pick a new one. Then he almost gets into a fistfight with Mayock on the field over related fines, asks to be traded via Instagram, and Mayock cuts him that same day. Brown leaves the $50 mil on the table, then makes less than $5 mil total over the next two years bouncing between the Patriots and Bucs.

I don't know about Skrine, but Antonio is obviously bipolar. Although even someone in a manic phase spending spree would have a hard time dispensing $80 million.

was his agent P Diddy?

I know he was desperate to play with Tom Brady but sheesh.  He turned down 50 million to catch deflated footballs?
