Source: Thaddaeus McAdams / Getty Raiders Fine Antonio Brown $53,000 For Missing Practices The best thing about social media is celebrities publicly using their platform to respond to certain situations in their life. Most the time, we wouldn’t even know about them because most of these situations would just fly under the radar–which is exactly the case for Raiders player Antonio Brown . Brown took to social media on Wednesday morning to air out his grievances on being fined by his very own team . The player was fined $53,950 for simply missing two team practices, and understandably, he wasn’t very happy about it. Antonio claims his own team is hating on him and also states if he has to pay, then every one is going to pay. He posted a photo of his fine on his Instagram stories, writing, “When your own team want to hate but there’s no stopping me now devil is a lie. Everyone got to pay this year so we clear.” Antonio Brown posts his displeasure with fines from #Raiders pic.twitter.com/0OMhdwFu7K — Vic Tafur (@VicTafur) September 4, 2019 Him not wanting pay isn’t a threat, he’s just stating that every person who misses practices will have pay to make everything equal for everyone involved. Imagine missing practices anytime soon with AB around, might as well have the check already written–because he’s probably got his attendance chart ready to go. Most people try to hide their bad report cards. Antonio Brown posted his on social media. Different strategy. — Daniel Jeremiah (@MoveTheSticks) September 4, 2019

According to FoxNews , Britney Spears’ father Jamie has been accused of physically abusing her teenage son with former husband Kevin Federline. The folks at US Weekly magazine obtained a police report that detailed the incident between 61-year-old Jamie Spears and 13-year-old Sean Preston last month. Sean and his younger brother Jayden James, 12, were visiting their grandfather at his condo in California when he allegedly got into an argument with Spears. He reportedly “felt unsafe” and locked himself in a room but Spears managed to break in and allegedly “shook” the boy, a law enforcement source told the magazine. Following the fight Britney took the boys from the house and dropped them off with Federline. The next day, K-Fed filed for a domestic violence restraining order against Jamie that forbade him from all contact with the boys according to NYDailyNews “Kevin wants to assure that Britney has the most reasonable custody with the kids that is consistent with their best interests,” Federline’s lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan told The News on Tuesday. “The kids love their mother, and Kevin doesn’t want to do anything that would be inconsistent with that,” he said. Messy, messy, messy. Ya truly hate to see it.

For the 2019 issue, Oklahoma City Thunder Point Guard Chris Paul graced the pages with his bangin’ baller body. View this post on Instagram Man listen! It seems counter intuitive to think you would start feeling better in your body as you get older, but that’s EXACTLY the path I’m on!! 34, recently turned plant-based, and feeling pretty damn good! Stay disciplined and take care of yourselves, it all starts here! #ESPNBody A post shared by Chris Paul (@cp3) on Sep 4, 2019 at 10:36am PDT In the mag, the 34-year old NBA veteran opened up about everything from his Vegan lifestyle to wanting to switch bodies with some of his peers, just for the height. “I don’t necessarily need the body — I just want the height, you know what I mean? Let me get Boban [Marjanovic’s] height. He’s over 7? Let me get that height. It’s over for everybody. We ain’t even going to play the games.” Chris Paul on his body transformation and #ESPNBODY issue cover shoot.

But when it comes to the part of the body he’s most proud of, Chris revealed: “My abs. When I eat, that’s where the weight comes immediately. If I eat french fries, one or two, they go right there.” As for his decision to adopt the Vegan life, Chris told the mag: “My rookie year there was a McDonald’s right by where we practiced, and I’d stop and get a McGriddle combo every day. Every day. And I’d usually get an extra hash brown and try to get a bigger orange juice. And I would get home, and my brother and I would get Chick-fil-A. As long as it wasn’t Sunday, we would get Chick-fil-A on the way home. And then we would usually order pizza at night. We didn’t know any different. We were young, first time living away from home. But everything’s a lot different now. Some of the biggest choices I make daily are what I put into my body.” The 11th and final print edition of ESPN’s Body Issue hits stands on September and also features gymnastics star Katelyn Ohash, The Philadelphia Eagles’ entire offensive line, and many more.
