Raiders GM Mike Mayock, Who Traded For Antonio Brown, Sure Sounds Like He’s F*cking Sick Of Antonio Brown

Thought because Antonio Brown appeared on last week’s episode of Hard Knocks that everything was going to be fine and dandy out in Oakland?

Because, folks, let me tell you…

The Antonio Brown Helmet/Retirement/Frozen Foot saga took another turn this weekend after the mercurial wide receiver once again left the Oakland Raiders practice on Sunday due to his ongoing dispute with the NFL over his helmet.

Raiders general manager and former NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock spoke to reporters just hours after Brown left training camp, this time providing the diva wideout with an ultimatum: get in or get out.

“You all know that A.B. is not here today. So here’s the bottom line. He’s pretty upset about the helmet issue,” a visibly frustrated Mayock said. “We have supported that. We appreciate that. But at this point, we’ve pretty much exhausted all avenues of relief. So from our perspective, it’s time for him to be all in or all out. So we’re hoping he’s back soon.”

Brown’s latest absence from Raiders training camp comes after he was able to find a 2014 model of his preferred helmet Schutt Air Advantage that was previously certified for use by the National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment.

However, the NFL then put the 2014 Schutt Air Advantage through the required testing process and the helmet failed, thus resulting in Brown being unable to use the helmet.

This latest setback caused Brown to once again depart from Raiders camp, despite the fact that literally every other player in the National Football League is forced to follow the same helmet rules that he’s protesting.

The Raiders, who just acquired Brown from the Steelers earlier this year, are clearly starting to experience some buyer’s remorse, as the All-Pro wide receiver has done nothing but create negative headlines during his tenure with Oakland thus far.
