Here we go again.

Antonio Brown has played exactly one game of football this year. Perhaps you recall that he did so wearing a New England Patriots uniform. Hey, he even scored a touchdown! However, what's happened in the many days since that Week 2 cameo against the Dolphins could fill an entire edition of the Encyclopedia of Derp. It increasingly felt, amid a wave of sexual assault allegations, that AB was due to play not a single game more this season.

Then, the Pats reportedly asked you to hold their beer.

Yes, per former NFL tight end Christian Fauria, a host at WEEI sports radio in Boston, the defending Super Bowl champs have at least entertained the idea of running it back with Brown.

For...reasons.

Whether this story has legs to speak of is not known. It's not as if the team really needs the help in light of the incredible distraction that would come with it; they're 9-1 and not exactly struggling. But never say never, right?

Will the apology be accepted? Get ready for a freaking hurricane if these two parties end up making amends in the form of a new contract.
