Antonio Brown update

Keim is not the type to sign these malcontents. It would be a hard pass for me.

If you were wondering what the antithesis of Fitzgerald's retirement 'announcement' looks like, Antonio Brown's Sunday antics is what it looks like.

Antithesis of Fitz in every way, it seems.

I doubt TB has anything to be concerned about except the billing hours by the team's attorney.  That's a few hours and thousand dollars at most.  Brown claims team cover up.  Reference USC Title 45 and HIPAA.  The law protects the team as well as the player regarding information disclosure.  Brown is understandably desperate.

The HIPAA Privacy Rule

The HIPAA Privacy Rule establishes national standards to protect individuals' medical records and other individually identifiable health information (collectively defined as “protected health information”) and applies to health plans, health care clearinghouses, and those health care providers that conduct certain health care transactions electronically. The Rule requires appropriate safeguards to protect the privacy of protected health information and sets limits and conditions on the uses and disclosures that may be made of such information without an individual’s authorization. The Rule also gives individuals rights over their protected health information, including rights to examine and obtain a copy of their health records, to direct a covered entity to transmit to a third party an electronic copy of their protected health information in an electronic health record, and to request corrections.

Yes, Brown is weird. 

TB did everything right for the Brown per the NFLPA, NFL, the contract and team policy.  The team hired a flakey player, gave that player opportunities to remake the tarnished image, and Brady used Brown on Sundays.  The player's contract incentives for $2M pay--agreed to by the agent and player--were attainable if the player just hit the NFL averages per game.  Brown got injured and missed a lot of time on the job.  The $2M slowly went bye-bye.  Injury is not the fault of TB.  The game is hard on player's bodies.  Brown failed himself last Sunday.  And he is definitely done with the NFL now.

I wonder how Brown will survive without football.  Playing sports is all he has done for many years.  I hope he's save some cash in the bank because his next paycheck will be comparatively tiny.  FL unemployment benefits are not even a hundredth of a cent on the dollar for Brown.
