Free-agent receiver Antonio Brown has made himself a prisoner in his own home.

Police officers are waiting outside his house in Tampa to arrest him on misdemeanor domestic violence charges. Brown apparently is inside the dwelling, and he won’t come out.

Police used a megaphone to urge Brown to give himself up. The authorities said they had spoken to Brown’s attorney. They continued to knock on the door and to call out for him.

People online are talking about the most UNDERRATED gifts they’ve received, and there’s a lot of practical stuff on it.  Here are the highlights:

 

1.  Extra phone chargers and wire organizers.

2.  Nice sheets or towels.

3.  A nice tote filled with non-perishables, like soup, crackers, and cookies.

4.  A premium subscription to something, like Spotify or HBO Max.

5.  Restaurant gift cards, especially for local, non-chain restaurants.  So, NOT places like Chili’s or Outback Steakhouse.

6.  Grocery or gas gift cards.  In the past, it may have seemed like this is something you’d give someone and they’d feel poor.  Now, who WOULDN’T want some free money to use for gas and groceries?

7.  Nice, comfortable pajamas.

8.  One person said their grandparents paid their gas bill for Christmas, and they thought that was cool.

9.  Another person said their grandma would give them random toiletries, including deodorant, toothpaste, and Q-Tips . . . and they appreciated that.

10.  And someone said toilet paper.  In that case, it was a white elephant, and they got a 124-pack of toilet paper.  They said everyone laughed and thought it was funny, but they said “I’ve never received a gift as amazing as that.”

11.  Underwear.  (This one might depend on the circumstance.  Giving underwear to a coworker might be frowned upon.)

12.  A one-time vehicle detail or landscaping service.

13.  Quality coffee.

14.  A bidet.

15.  Socks.
