NFL Pick 'em

And now this: Raiders' WR Antonio Brown has told team officials that, unless he gets to wear his old helmet, he will not play football again, per league sources.

And more....

Antonio Brown believes the new helmet that the rules mandate he wears protrudes out and interferes with his vision as he tries to catch football. The Raiders have been sending Brown other approved helmets to try out but, at this time, he is not interested in wearing any of them.

I've read in a couple of places that he can use same model helmet he has now, but he can't use the exact helmet because it's too old to be re-conditioned and re-certified. Back in the day when I was helping run a youth football program every year we had to $hit can several helmets due to wear & tear and replace them with new ones. The manufacturer's would only re-certify them so many times.

Can you imagine though if AB tried to pull this s**t with the 49ers?

It seems like the Niners made a correct decision not to get Antonio Brown in this past offseason.

Who has been a bigger headache, Antonio Brown or TO?
