Latest on the toxic Antonio Brown & MLB wild card

Hey y’all!

So last week we discussed the hot topic in the NFL Mr. Antonio Brown and how he is no longer apart of the Organization due to sexual assault allegations that led to his release. This week I wanted to give you the latest news on him as well as touch on Americas favorite past time, baseball. The MlB is in coming to an end soon so playoffs are in full swing. 

Antonio as most of us have seen has been very active on social media this past week with arguing with players. His latest news to his life is filing for grievance for all the money he has lost in the last few weeks with the NFL. “Brown is the first player in NFL history poised to file nine grievances and appeals during the same time period” According to Adam Schefter of ESPN (Duncan, 2019).  AB is attempting to collect over 61 million dollars that he believes is missing from his bank.  The list of nine consists of fine appeals from the Oakland Raiders $215,000, guaranteed money from them as well for $29 million. Signing bonus with the Raiders of $1 million and a weekly salary of $860,000 from the organization. The last four come from the Patriots organization first for the guaranteed $1 million, signing bonus of $9 million, unpaid week 3 salary of $64,000 and the Patriots option year 2020 for $20 million dollars. All this money is what Brown is intending to get for him being released in the last weeks and how he was treated by these organizations. Brown can continue to sue the NFL if he wants given the NFL has not suspended him yet for the sexual allegations against him. So as of this moment he is still a free agent who says he is done playing in the NFL but will that last? DO you think a team will sign him anytime soon given all the drama he causes and how much of a toxic person he is?

          Moving onto MLB news. Last night the American League Wild Card game was played by the Washington Nationals and the Milwaukee Brewers. Milwaukee scored right away in the first inning scoring 2 runs then scoring 1 in the second where they lead the game 3-0. Washington soon gets on the board when Turner hits a 405 foot homerun to the left center. Leading into the 4^th inning where both teams went scoreless until the 8^th inning came around. It was as if the Nationals lite a fire under them to finish out this game, they scored 3 times to give them the lead leading into the 9^th inning where they ended up clinching the win to continue there fight to get into this years world series. The brewers season is now over where they ended up 89-73 with the season and 2^nd in the NL Central. 

    Starting Friday the National League Division series will start where the St. Louis Cardinals will take on the Atlanta Braves. The American League Series will also begin where the Minnesota Twins will take on The New York Yankees. Who Will win? Guess we will have to wait and see!
