On Saturday night, Antonio Brown’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told ESPN’s Adam Schefter that a few teams had shown interest in signing the wide receiver—provided that Rosenhaus gave those teams updates “regarding [Brown’s] legal situation and the NFL investigation” following the player’s messy breakup with the Patriots amid separate accusations of rape and sexual harassment. But on Sunday morning, Antonio Brown fired off a chaotic tweet storm that likely changed the tune of those interested teams. First there was the announcement that he didn’t want to play in the NFL anymore: Then there were the shots at Patriots owner Robert Kraft, former tight end and current TV personality Shannon Sharpe, and Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, where Brown appears to be arguing that he was punished unfairly for his alleged sexual misconduct compared to the consequences faced by others around the NFL. (The tweets have been replaced with screenshots as they’ve since been deleted). Naturally, he didn’t stop there. Brown then approvingly quote-tweeted a Daily Beast article about Pats fans swarming the mentions and DMs of Sports Illustrated’s Robert Klemko following his article that reported on allegations of sexual harassment and stiffing people who have worked for the wideout. There was never going to be a particularly good moment for Brown to start firing off tweets like these, but he still managed to find perhaps the dumbest possible time to do so. As ESPN’s Christ Mortensen reports, the ex-Patriot is in the middle of filing a grievance against the league to get his $10 million guaranteed from New England. Representing him will be the NFLPA, the same organization who he just called out this morning for not keeping NFL owners accountable. Know anything? You can contact us at [email protected].

Jakub Blaszczykowski believes that Borussia Dortmund s derby clashes with Schalke are the most important fixtures of the season.
The reigning Bundesliga champions head into the crunch match on Saturday on the back of a 3-0 victory over Shakhtar Donetsk on Tuesday, which secured their spot in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
Juergen Klopp s men lost 2-1 to Schalke earlier this season, and Blaszczykowski is refusing to let the 10-point gap between Dortmund in second place in the Bundesliga and their rivals in sixth give the team a false sense of security.
The derby games are always a bit special. It’s an important game for us here, the most important of the season, the attacking midfielder told Bundesliga.com.
In the week leading up to the d…
Slaven Bilic believes West Ham could benefit from sending Enner Valencia out on loan to Everton after an injury-hit 2015-16 season.
The Ecuador forward joined the Hammers after impressing at the 2014 World Cup, and scored five goals in each of his two full seasons with the club.
However, with Valencia starting just 10 league games last term due to a number of fitness concerns, he has now made a temporary switch to Everton in order to find his best form.
And Bilic is satisfied that West Ham have managed to find an outcome that suits both the club and one of its key men.
I like Enner as a player and when I was coming to the club I marked him as one of our key players, he told the club s official website.
I rate him highly and he knows that. His la…
Wolfsburg left-back Ricardo Rodriguez has extended his contract with the Bundesliga club until 2019.
The Switzerland international s deal at the Volkswagen Arena had been due to expire in 2016.
Premier League side Manchester United have previously been linked with a move for Rodriguez, but he was now committed his future to Dieter Hecking s men.
A talented attacking full-back, Rodriguez has proven to be a useful goal threat for Wolfsburg since joining from Swiss Super League side Zurich in January 2012.
Rodriguez has scored 13 goals in his Wolfsburg career and will be aiming to add to that tally in the second half of the Bundesliga season.
Wolfsburg are second and trail leaders and defending champions Bayern Munich by 11 points, a gap they can …

Looking to keep up their recent momentum at Anfield, defending champions Liverpool will host Brighton from behind closed doors on Wednesday night.
Liverpool
Starting with the hosts, while Liverpool might have found themselves enduring a concerning five-match Premier League winless run last month, there is no doubt that the mood in their camp should be on the rise. Appearing to have refound their form over the past week, Jurgen Klopp s side really capitalized on the slip-ups around them. Putting in another eye-catching display over the weekend in another trip to the capital, the defending champions cruised their way to a 3-1 romp at a high-flying West Ham on Sunday afternoon. Managing to build off of that thumping display away at Spur…
Belgium international Nacer Chadli has joined Anderlecht on a season-long loan from Ligue 1 side Monaco.
The 30-year-old arrived at the Stade Louis II from West Brom ahead of the 2018-19 campaign but was restricted to just 22 appearances in all competitions.
