Albany Empire

Some things just take too long in life, like former Albany Empire owner and destroyer Antonio Brown being held accountable for his actions. However, this weekend, the former NFL lightning-rod found himself locked up behind bars.

A legend of the Capital Region sports scene is set to be revived in the near future, as the Albany Firebirds are reportedly returning to the MVP Arena turf.

In the latest in a long line of negative stories involving the Albany Empire, disgraced owner Antonio Brown has been accused of threating players with a gun.

Things were rocky from the start when Antonio Brown purchased a controlling stake of the Albany Empire, but Thursday's news feels a bit like the dagger.

You literally can't make this stuff up. According to Antonio Brown, the embattled Empire owner is hosting a nationwide meet and greet event called the 'Put that Sh*t on Tour', tour.

Antonio Brown knew all along he wasn't going to play on Saturday at MVP Arena and got away with it.

Antonio Brown and the Albany Empire have hired the team's 3rd head coach, a little over a month into the season. At this rate, the Empire should have 9 different head coaches in 2023, maybe more.

Few people around the Capital Region are surprised by the turmoil surrounding the Albany Empire and their lightning-rod owner, former NFL star Antonio Brown. This weekend was just another act under the big-top circus.

2023 has been a season of drama for the Albany Empire. However, the team's new lightning-rod owner may be making the best decision of his reign; getting on the field and playing.

Antonio Brown was somehow supposed to be "good" for the Albany Empire of the National Arena League. The former NFL magnet-to-trouble was going to connect the Empire to the community. Now the arena football team is in the midst of reports of the head coach, along with star players quitting the team, only a few weeks into the season.

Less than two months after Antonio Brown was announced as a member of the Albany Empire ownership group, the former NFL wideout teased a possible comeback.

On Saturday, it was reported that Antonio Brown was claiming "100 percent" ownership of the Albany Empire, the arena football team that plays at the MVP Arena. At the time, then-Empire co-owner Mike Kwarta disagreed with Brown's assessment of "who owns what."
