Antonio Brown Meltdown: Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown quit the team yesterday in the middle of their game against the New York Jets. Brown got benched before he removed his shoulder pads, jersey, undershirt and gloves. He waved to fans as he walked off the field. The Bucs cut Brown after the game.
BroBible says Antonio's meltdown will most likely cost him $1 million in bonus money. Antonio needed eight more catches for a $333,000 bonus and 55 more receiving yards for a $333,000 bonus. Antonio needed just one more touchdown for a $333,000 bonus.
Larry Brown Sports says Antonio was benched because he refused to enter the game on two separate occasions.
Total Pro Sports says Antonio jumped into a police cruiser and wanted to be escorted to a flight out of New York.
Brobible says Antonio released a rap song hours after being released by Tampa Bay. The song is titled “Pit Not the Palace.”
Antonio thanked Tampa Bay with the following tweet: “Big MAD (Making A Difference ) Thanks for the opportunity”
Amazon Delivery Driver Saves Colorado Family From Wildfire: Unilad says an Amazon delivery driver, from Superior, Colorado, recently saved an entire family from one of the state's wildfires. Taylor and Mary Stanley woke up from a nap to find a wildfire closing in on their home. They tried to drive to safety with their four-month-old baby, but couldn't because their car battery was dead. The Amazon driver, Luanne, pulled up and drove the family to safety.
Mary says, "We could be dead if it wasn’t for Luanne. She was our saving grace. A little angel right at the moment that we needed her. I really don’t think we would have made it out because it was happening so fast and with the winds like that, the gusts were so strong my husband was struggling to stay upright and get all of our things inside the van. Luanne was actually pretty calm about it, she offered to help and she got us in the van and propped us up against the side and she dropped us off at the nearest community center.''

Nicolas Cage tells Variety magazine that he no longer wants to be known as an actor."I like the word thespian because thespian means you’re going into your heart, or you’re going into your imagination, or your memories or your dreams, and you’re bringing something back to communicate with the audience. I think it’s more like recruiting imagination. Dare I say it, it’s more like a shamanism. What early shamans would do is go into flights of imagination to find answers to help their village. I like looking at it like that, with the risk of sounding completely absurd and ridiculous. I like the idea of it being something a little more organic and less artificial."

Dear Fonseca
My husband and I threw a giant New Year's Eve party. We invited family, friends, neighbors and co-workers. My husband and I had a huge fight after the party because he got drunk and kissed another woman on the lips at midnight. He and the woman are always flirting. I think he used the Ball Drop as an excuse to lock lips with the woman to see what it would be like. He is blaming his temporary indiscretion on his alcoholic drinks. He claims what he did was not cheating. Was it? Should I forgive him? Do you think his kiss will lead to other things?
