Because all the confidence would come from is everyone keeps talking about is well, you know, he has to know that this is the last chance.

After everything he's been through, you would think if I were him.

I'm not confident at all because we said that many times before about Antonio Brown.

Think of how much rationalizing we've all done first when he forced his way out of Pittsburgh.

What's he doing All these crazy like a fox.

He got paid, and as soon as he got paid, what did he dio?

He never got on the field.

He never even got on the field with an organization that just seemed to support him from the front office, to the coach, to the other players.

All they're saying is good things about him, and then he's like he's throwing them all under the bus and acting a fool and he gets.

And then and then Stephen A kept saying he had to shut his mouth till when?

Stephen A Tuesday.

Tuesday there was a Thursday, and he needed to shoot a story of all time saying it was a Thursday.

All he had to do was shut the hell up until that Tuesday, and he would have been guaranteed his 29 29.

You get $89 million life changing innovation.

You can't shut up for four days.

I couldn't do it and and then he throws everyone under the bus and almost tries to break the law.

Doing it right.

He's recording people against without their knowledge, and he's releasing.

He's releasing stuff about juju Smith, Schuster thinking It makes him look bad when really it's just juju being humble and saying he looks up to him and stuff like his judgment is so out of whack.

And then he's posting stuff on social media about his personal life.

That makes him look worse, and he's doing it in a way because he feels like he's the victim.

Then he winds up in New England and on the way in the door, makes the same mistake puts in writing, even if he feels he's being extorted and he doesn't think he's guilty of some crime.

What he put in writing is stupid, if not just mean right.

What do you sending to those women?

And but also doubly stupid, cause he just got in trouble, for he did it again on the way in the door in New England.

And then on the way out the door again, he throws Robert Kraft under like, he can't stop burning bridges.

So now we think.

Okay, then he gets suspended and everything.

Now we're thinking okay.

He has to know, remember, he enrolled in school, and then he put on social media that he was looking for someone to do his paper for him.

Like Antonio Brown.

The only reason we're interested in you is because you are great.

Like one of the best ever at football.

You had all this time off, you're gonna show everyone you did.

Did you compose a symphony?

Did you write a book like what?

Did you do it?

Did you organize in the community?

Did you do something that's gonna last?

Did you start a record label that had anything like anything at all?

Was there any contribution made to the larger culture to show everyone we should be interested in you for another reason.

So like.

No, I have zero confidence zero that he'll last the season.

And anyone who does have confidence is just basing that on the idea that damn, he's gotta have learned his lesson by now.

I thought that before.

I won't get burned again.

It's not that I think that Max, I think the situation will dictate it.

I don't think Seattle that works.

I think you're absolutely right because they have rep weapons where they don't have to prioritize him in order to be successful, and I think that's where he'll fall off the rails.

I think if he would go to some place like Baltimore, where you're competing, you're winning football games, you could obviously be the difference.

And you're clearly going to be the number one target for Lamar Jackson when he elects to throw that football.

I believe under those circumstances, there's a possibility that he could survive in last the season number one, because he's a primary option number two, because they're winning number three because he's highly motivated cause he's in the same division of his former team, which is the Pittsburgh Steelers in the same conference as the Oakland Raiders.

So you might feel like you have scores to settle.

All of those things, I think are the best case scenario for him.

Survive him.

I'm not saying definitively that he would, but if you wanna look at the situation and think, OK, what's the best chance that this guy has for lasting the entire season?

It has to be with some place where he's needed as the primary option, because you're going to prioritize him, and that will be it is evil that what that happens?

Seattle.

Because that's D.

K.

Metcalf.

That's gonna be the primary target for Russell Wilson.

And that ain't gonna work there in Baltimore with Patrick Mahomes.

You having to go up against Kansas City and those boys?

If you're Baltimore, that's where you need a Antonio.

Well, Antonio Brown.

Well, listen in Seattle's, he would just be a luxury.

You know, he will be a luxury, and I'm always, like, always pump the brakes, a kind of bringing in pieces into your locker room that are questionable when things were going well.

Seattle Seahawks five and no, they got issues on defense, but now you want to enter in a person that has a very sketchy past has blown up in multiple organizations.

Might I say some of the what we call blue chip organizations in the National Football League?

And he's found a way Thio run himself out the building.

If I'm Seattle, I know you got Pete Carroll.

I know you got Russell Wilson, but why would you want to introduce that when things were going well, Right now, the problems are on the defense side of football, not on the office side of football.

And let me ask you guys a question.

What was the last time?

We've seen meaningful football from Antonio Brown for years?

A couple of years?

The last time I checked, you only get good at football by playing football.

You've been out of football for basically two two years, and I get it.

I understand Antonio Brown has has a great work ethic, but man, he hasn't played meaningful football since 2000, and I hope that I wanna end.

You have to you have to say, at first it sounded good to me.

Stephen A is right.

If he's just a next Ra part, it's not gonna work.

But if he's the primary, I think it's actually the opposite.

Now that I'm thinking about it, you don't want to give this dude too much leverage.

Maybe it works out better in Seattle because what you said like jog that thought in my head.

Maybe it works out better better in Seattle because he's a luxury because he knows he's expendable.

If you put him in a situation, gonna know.

But if you put him in a situation where he's getting all these targets every game and he takes you to the next level that gives him left E, I would say to see you.

I watched him, Uh, let's give LeBron, James and, um, a plug here there show the shop on HBO.

Maverick Carter is a good show executive producer, and Antonio Brown was there, and he was basically giving you some background on where he came from.

He ain't playing second fiddle to nobody not in his mind and in his heart.

And to be honest with you, because he's so electrifying, you almost can't blame him if he believes he is the best in the world because he has shown us in the past that he waas the reason why I hold on to that is because he ain't gonna go anyplace and perceive himself is being second fiddle, which I think would be problematic for him when he's on that football field and he ain't getting a football.
