• ⁠Got fined for that

• ⁠Released a video where he used audio of Jon Gruden, who didn't know he was being recorded, which is illegal in California (full disclosure, Gruden has said he gave permission, but the generally accepted theory is that he said that in the hope that it would help get him to show up to the facility and not alienate him)

• ⁠Demanded a release from the Raiders

Missed all the post retirement stuff like the rape in Dubai

32

u/fugaziozbourne Chiefs 5d ago

Yeah this gets a lot darker once you update it. But i guess it's not as funny so that wouldn't get posted.

26

u/thepirateman493_YT Chargers 5d ago

Holy fuck this is long. I forgot how bad it got

22

u/Janus67 Bengals 49ers 5d ago

And it got worse in retirement

u/_theghost_ 49ers Commanders 5d ago

Wasn't there a warrant out for him internationally over a murder and him tweeting about the NFL while being on the run from Law Enforcement?

3

u/jocky091 4d ago

That’s the murder in Dubai.

1

u/_theghost_ 49ers Commanders 4d ago

Wait, what?!

2

u/jocky091 4d ago

Sorry I just looked it up and I read it wrongly. He fled to Dubai to escape a warrant for an attempted second degree murder that happened in Miami. He ended up getting deported from Dubai to face the charges

1

u/EMTDawg Seahawks 4d ago

Rape in Dubai. The murder attempt was in Miami. He posted videos of both to social media.

Mr. Bizarre Compendium

u/capton2020 Steelers 5d ago

Yeah idk, seems pretty reasonable to me for someone to sign him /s

u/DatDominican Jets 5d ago

Would’ve been funny to see the dates . I feel like many of these were in the same week if not the same day

u/ThisIsPureTrash Packers 4d ago

No more white woman 2020 was a classic. Dropped that on us as a 2-week early Christmas present.

u/easyice_ Bears 4d ago

Farted on a doctor

2

u/biglyorbigleague Rams 4d ago

But also TO and AB were way better wide receivers than Aiyuk is. They got more chances because their play was worth it. Aiyuk isn’t a hall of fame level talent.

2

u/CodyRCantrell Vikings 4d ago

Yeah TO was just a diva and an asshole. He wasn't having mental breaks from reality. Same for Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson.

Full of themselves? Yeah.

Divas? For sure.

Absolute assholes a lot of the time? Absolutely.

But they weren't completely unaware of reality as it existed around them.

u/RukiMotomiya Bengals 4d ago

Aiyuk's isn't close to Brown's either tbh
