Our Main Story this week is all about Antonio Brown as he put it best in three simple words "The marathon continues." After playing for the New England Patriots in just the span of eleven days, the team has released him due to accusations of sexual assault by two separate women. It's hard to put into a complete sentence what this has meant for NFL fans and players who have watched and listen to the drama that is Antonio Brown, first he went from the Pittsburgh Steelers to the Oakland Raiders, then there was grievances about his helmet, then he asked to be released from the Raiders and signed a new deal with the Patriots. Brown was involved in the Patriots' Week 2 victory over the Miami Dolphins last week and then came the alleged sexual assault cases that has put Brown back in the spotlight in a very bad way. The Patriots had no choice but to release him last Friday afternoon, but we did thank the team for the opportunity they gave him despite it being cut too short too early, and everyone is wondering what's next for Antonio Brown after this one. While the world is waiting for an answer, let's look at previous reaction from many sports media outlets and other places in a special edition of the Web Choice playlist.
