Antonio Brown has spoken.
The seemingly-disgruntled Oakland Raiders wide receiver has had a pretty wild last few days. After an already bumpy summer, Brown aired out general manager Mike Mayock for a letter indicating that the team would fine him for missed training camp practices. That reportedly led to a knockdown, dragout between Brown and Mayock, with the Raiders reportedly mulling a suspension for Brown as a result.
Brown spoke to ESPN’s Dianna Russini on Friday, and to the surprise of no one, his version of things is a little different.
I asked him how he’s feeling he said he’s better. I asked him if he’s happy? He said yeah, better. As for what happened on the field with Raiders GM Mike Mayock…

Antonio Brown told me there was never a scuffle at practice. He said he did not use the word “cracker” and would never use that word…Everything has been blown out of proportion”
“I spoke with Mike Mayock 1-on-1, man-to-man.”

What the actual truth is we might never know, but for now the Raiders plan to play Brown on Monday night against the Denver Broncos.
