Back to Tampa again already?
They started with sports radio talk program host J.T. the Brick and Michael Lombardi of The Athletic advancing the concept.
What is clear, is that if Brown goes there … my God! Will it be entertaining or what ?!

So if something has altered, the details are unclear.
The consistent reports about Antonio Brown going to Tampa Bay to reunite with former Patriots colleague Tom Brady were up and down all day Tuesday.
But now Brady is with the Bucs, and Bruce Arians is the head coach. Arians and Brown have had public fights throughout the years, dating back to their time in Pittsburgh together. And Arians made it perfectly clear he has no interest in signing Brown in Florida.
Brady has actually made his fondness for Brown clear often times over since the troubled wideout was booted off the Patriots last September.
Tampa Bay is not interested in Antonio Brown per sources #Buccaneers

” However, rather of paying Bonilla the $5.9 million at the time, the Mets accepted make yearly payments of nearly $1.2 million for 25 years starting July 1, 2011, consisting of a negotiated 8% interest.
Why is this taking place? Via ESPN.com in 2015, “In 2000, the Mets consented to purchase out the remaining $5.9 million on Bonillas contract.
– Steelers legend Rod Woodson is claiming that Hall of Fame gamers have a hard time breaking into the training ranks because head coaches have a concern with having another “alpha” in the room.
Its July 1.
The annual day where Bobby Bonilla gets to … how did we say it around these parts in the 1990s … “Muck the Fets.”
Why was Bonilla prepared to do that? Well, in part he left the Pirates for the Mets in free agency prior to the 1992 season for a five-year, $29 million agreement. That was the greatest in the National League at the time.

” At the time, Mets ownership was involved with a Bernie Madoff account that assured double-digit returns throughout the offer, and the Mets were poised to make a significant revenue– if the Madoff account provided. It did not.”

For the 2nd bad finalizing of him. When he left the Pirates for Shea Stadium after the 1991 playoff loss to the Atlanta Braves, not even the first one.
