Episode 2 open threadNew,45commentsPDTTuesday evening has come around again, and
that means it¡¯s time for Episode 2 of Hard Knocks. Last week¡¯s season opener was
a brilliant bit of television, and this week should be more of the same as the
HBO and NFL Films crew documents Oakland¡¯s training camp and tilts with the
Rams.While last week focused on safety Johnathan Abram, this week we should get
a focus on other players such as rookie RB Josh Jacobs, whose story is made for
television. And of course, the Antonio Brown saga continues as he fought with
the league over wearing his own very special helmet. Although Brown was in camp
today, we should be able to get some more insight into just what was going on
with him on tonight¡¯s show.The episode will begin at 7 PM Pacific on HBO, and
I¡¯ll have a recap article up after it¡¯s done as well. Enjoy the show! At some
point, the Raiders will have had enough of Antonio Brown. Could that time be
now? Not long after a report that the Raiders had fined the star receiver, and
he was not happy about it, Brown posted a video on YouTube titled ¡°This is my
life. Ain¡¯t no more games.¡± It appears to include a conversation with Raiders
coach Jon Gruden. He also posted an explanation, writing, ¡°With all these false
narratives antagonizing
me
https://www.raiderslockerroom.com/authentic-antonio-brown-je rsey ,
it¡¯s time for me to control my own narrative. Show the world I¡¯m not the bad
guy. Show the world you can free yourself from the lies and become your own
person. I am not just AB the football player. I am Antonio Brown, the person,
who paved a way from himself to be in charge of his own life. Watch for
yourself. Link in bio. Free me!¡±The 1:57 video includes what appears to be a
phone conversation between Brown and Gruden. ¡°What¡¯s up coach?¡± Brown answers
the phone.¡°What the hell¡¯s going on, man?¡± Gruden asks.¡°Just a villain all over
the news, man,¡± Brown answers.¡°You¡¯re not a villain,¡± Gruden said. ¡°You¡¯re just.
. .You¡¯re the most misunderstood f¡ªing human being in my entire life I¡¯ve ever
met. I mean I brought you here because you¡¯re my favorite guy. I¡¯ve never seen a
guy work harder. And I don¡¯t know where you are in your life right now off the
field. All I know is you got a lot of things going. There¡¯s a lot of people that
have an opinion about you, and whether it be good or bad, you¡¯re in the
spotlight all the time. ¡°Let me ask you this: Do you want to be a Raider or
not?¡±Brown answers, ¡°Man, I¡¯ve been trying to be a Raider since Day One. I¡¯ve
been f¡ªing working my ass off harder than anyone. I don¡¯t know why it¡¯s a
question of me being a Raider. It¡¯s like do you guys want me to be a
Raider?¡±Gruden follows with, ¡°Please stop this s¡ª and just play football. How
hard is that? You¡¯re a great football player. Just play football.¡±The video ends
with Brown saying, ¡°I¡¯m more than just a football player, man. I¡¯m a real
person. It ain¡¯t about the football. I know I can do that. I show you guys that
on the daily. This is my life. Ain¡¯t no more games.¡±It is unclear when the
conversation took place or if Gruden knew he was being recorded. The video
appears professionally produced.It leaves only one question: What happens now?
