THIS IS MY LIFE. AIN'T NO MORE GAMES

When Antonio Brown was going through his saga with the Raiders with the frozen feet, helmet issues, spat with Mayock etc., he put out what I would consider to be one of my favorite internet videos of all-time. It was a recorded conversation of him talking with Jon Gruden that was so well shot and cut I was entranced. It was art and it spoke to me on a personal level. It was also cool as fuck!

I was so floored that such a big time football player who was in his prime could put out such an incredible piece of art that was simultaneously such a self-sabotaging move he was ultimately released shortly thereafter. That was clearly the intention and things haven't really been going so great for AB since then.

But then when he landed with my Buccaneers two weeks ago the first thing that popped into my head was, I have to remake this video. There wasn't a question about it. I had thought about doing it for months already but it didn't quite make sense with AB not even in the league. So I mustered up the gall to email our Chief of Content to see if me, an Ad Ops guy who crosses over as a producer, podcast host, and blogger could have a video featuring only myself with the concept. The video in itself spoke to me in my role at Barstool and I woke up the next morning to a "that's a great idea, let's do it" email.

I was so excited to do it and John Kelly, who is an incredible behind the scenes guy did a fantastic job on the final product. I hope you like it.
