The Friday news dump delivered once again, as Antonio Brown has firmly decided to take on the NFL over...a helmet.

Brown's worn the same helmet for ten years, and isn't embracing the potential adjustment with open arms. Instead, he's reportedly told the Raiders and NFL he will retire from football should he not get his wish, essentially playing the role of a toddler who wants more candy.

Predictably, twitter went wild over one of the most bizarre stories we've seen in quite some time.

Brown's done plenty of crying this offseason, that's for certain.

Absolutely no one asked for this.
