To the surprise of, well, no one, there’s been nothing but problems for the Oakland Raiders since trading for Antonio Brown.
The star wide receiver, who increasingly has become a colossal distraction off the field, has created no shortage of controversy with his new team this summer. The latest issue stems from him airing out his team on Instagram, posting a letter from general manager Mike Mayock that indicated he would be fined for skipping practices.
Brown’s antics aren’t sitting well with many, a Hall of Fame wide receiver included. Cris Carter, now a co-host on FOX Sports’ “First Things First” had plenty of sharp criticism for Brown on Thursday’s show.
“If he had kept the type of discipline that got him from being homeless to being a D1 player to being a Pro-Bowl player, you wouldn’t have a problem,” Carter said. “But in Pittsburgh he did these types of things — in Pittsburgh — … it wasn’t addressed and now Oakland, look what they, not inherited, what they traded for.”
Check out both of Carter’s rants below.
Well put.
If Brown can contribute on the field it will make these transgressions a little more forgivable, but for now they’re nothing more than a headache.
