Antonio Brown, no stranger to absurdity, really stepped it up on Friday with the latest news that the receiver is reportedly ready to quit playing football if the league doesn't let him wear his preferred helmet.
Brown reportedly believes the new helmet, which NFL rules require him to wear, "protrudes out and interferes with his vision as he tries to catch football," according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
What's the big difference between Brown's preferred helmet and the NFL-approved helmets? Basically, his preferred helmet is too old.
