In a press conference with reporters, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell addressed Antonio Brown‘s ongoing saga and uncertain status with the league. Goodell, who is overseeing the ongoing investigation that probably won’t reach its conclusion anytime soon, expressed concern for Brown’s overall welfare.

“We want to help him get on the right track,” Goodell said. “We are confident it will happen.”
Before Brown can think about a return to football, he’ll have to get his personal life and legal affairs in order. The wide receiver was parked on the Commissioner Exempt list after being hit with a lawsuit for one of the sexual assault allegations against him. Since then, Brown has been featured weekly on the pages of Pro Football Rumors for mostly non-football reasons. Just last week, he was cuffed for three charges, including battery.
Goodell declined to give a timeline on discipline from the league office. At this point, it’s hard to see Brown getting back on an NFL field in 2020 and he may never return to the sport if he’s unable to make wholesale changes to his personal life.
Brown, a seven-time Pro Bowler, will turn 32 in July.
It’s been nearly a year and still no discipline. Shame.
How can one discipline this clown when he continues to act in a way requiring further discipline??
Not to mention that he’s not even playing on a team to get disciplined.
I think every time they’re about done, AB does something else that needs to be investigated. And so on and so on…
How to you blame the NFL for this clown? lmao
How do you discipline someone who is not an employee.
Pacman Jones memories
“Come back, Antonio! Annnnndddd you’re suspended for the season!”
I was wondering what happens to him and how his return to college studies has been going…
I heard the Central Michigan Literature Department nominated him for a Nobel Laureate for his work on……nahh….I just can’t do it.
I don’t know who they can sit there and not feel like shit for basically holding someone’s career in their hands. They know that a team won’t sign him until they hand down the suspension and so they wait. Give the guy his suspension already. What in the hell are they are waiting for? If I was AB I’d sue their asses for costing him money. Yea, I know, he’s a clown and he’s cost himself money and has made matters a lot worse but that’s not the topic of discussion here. We are strictly talking about the matter in which the league has held up on suspending him or what get they plan to do just in order to keep him out of the league and it’s clear that’s what’s gone on here.
Maybe their waiting for a pause in his incidents of acting out?
You think this guy has a right to sue the NFL for not giving him a suspension when he isn’t on a roster, even though he has some new off field incident every month? wtf? I hate America sometimes. The entitlement people view everything with is bizarre. If a team actually wants him, why shouldn’t the team roster him to force the suspension issue? He won’t get paid if he’s suspended. So why doesn’t Antonio Brown act like a actual sane person and try and get a contract? Nope. Why? He can just sue!
They put him on the commissioners list I believe that is all they can do until his investigation is done.
I agree with plainsdrifter. Why do people not take responsibility for their own mess. My daughter in law is a kindergarten teacher. They took her out her class and is helping with unruly children.
They have 5 classes and about 20 of the kids are uncontrollable. They hit and kick even spit. She was talking to one parent and she doesn’t know why her brat is like that. She said when he wants something and we say no he throws a fit so we give it to him to quite him down. Really you don’t know why your kid is a brat? This permeates our society. From the school level of you teach my kid manners to adults who think every tiny little thing you should sue. Makes me sick to see kids now a days. So entitled.
If you hate America, you should move to a country that suits your needs.
Oh… one of those hahahahahahahah
I’m an U.S. History teacher. Americans who think being critical of the country is wrong have a fundamental misunderstanding of founding principles of our democratic society. But I bet you’re the type that thinks your political party is right and the other is wrong. Enjoy your world view.
My apologies for offending you but it’s OK I’m from Santa Cruz California people here get offended If you fart on a Tuesday without a permit
On a sidenote I would love to leave California and moved to America
Antonio Brown could have easily avoided all of this by not being a horrible person. The end.
Put him on “double secret probation”. He needs regular psychiatric treatment and anger management. He should be allowed back on a zero tolerance pact, including on field and off field behavior.
