Antonio Brown posts facebook live catches Tomlin calling Patriots Assholes

[Kontradiction]

I see Tomlin already has an excuse prepped if he has to take an L.

 

[DaBruinz]

Honestly nothing really that wrong about what Tomlin says. Dunno what anyone expects, opposing coaches to be praying to statues of Belichick before games? I doubt BB always refers to opponents with superlatives either.

What IS wrong is that Antonio Brown would be stupid enough to stream this. Insta-distraction.

You're right. There is nothing wrong with what Tomlin said except his facts..

The Steelers didn't "SPOT" the Patriots a Day and a Half. The Patriots EARNED that by virtue of beating punk ass teams like the Steelers during the Regular Season. Also, it's not like the Steelers had any control of the weather (the reason for the game being pushed back).

With Antonio Brown posting it to Facebook Live, it already isn't taking a low profile.

The ONLY thing that the Steelers had a choice with is that they were getting back at 4 am Monday Morning. That's on the Steelers. They could have flown back this morning instead, letting the players rest in the hotel rooms..

You wouldn't be surprised if someone in the Patriots locker room would live stream the coach addressing the players ? Or do you mean in general ? Because I think if someone in Foxboro would do that he'd be cut or in the doghouse for a long time.

I definitely think that person will be cut but I don't think at that time, they'd be thinking of the consequences.

I wasn't surprised. And I also wasn't surprised to see him standing on the Steelers sideline a week after getting arrested for being drunk and causing trouble outside a Pittsburgh nightclub. When the Steelers give someone an "Indefinite Suspension", it means that the suspension will end once the person is bailed out of jail

So there's hope for Hernandez then?

Tomlin is such a ***clown. I will be mortified if the Steelers pull off the upset next week.

Meh. Winning is winning and losing is losing and it doesn't really matter who it's against.

Geez, talk about rushing to do the exact opposite of your head coach's instructions!!!!

Somewhere, far, far away, Jamie Collins sees this and slowly shakes his head and mutters ".....and I get exiled to CLEVELAND for not staying in my frickin' lane......"

 

[AtomicDawg]

.......and then doing EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE (immediately running to Facebook to post it) of what the HC pointedly instructs them NOT to do!

Do some people actually miss the COMEDY in this? Tomlin was telling them to stay off the social media regarding saying anything about the Patriots.

This is comedy GOLD.

It is comedic genius. So self absorbed. Brown was kind of being a **** to the reporters trying to do their jobs, they were patiently waiting to get their post-game interviews in and he was just being rude and even said "not before these nuts are washed" and mocked them a couple times. He even said "it ain't gunna suck itself" The whole thing looked like a damn high school team locker room.

Never see any of that in Patriot locker rooms (at least the edited versions...I'm sure once the cameras are off, they turn up)..but it shouldn't be any of our business. Brown just made it everyone's business, even though his HC told him not to. Hilarious.

Disagree. I'd be disappointed if we lost in the Superbowl but I can be happy for either Matt Ryan or Aaron Rodgers.

I've known too many Steelers fans and believe that they very well may be the douchiest fan base in the history of sports. Imagine Jets fans, but with 6 championships. Winning a 7th isn't going to make them any more charming.

 

[RobertWeathers]

it's really only a day and a half if he planned to spend his time at the airport and on the plane partying and twerking. The Pats learned they would face the Steelers around 11:30 EST and The Squeelers likely boarded their bus to catch their charter at 1pm.

Let's rewrite the Tomlin emotional and motivating speech. Listen up motherphuckers! We spotted those evil assholes an hour and a half!

Of course. I'm sure there is some semblance of organization, advance scouting and proactive preparation going on in Pittsburgh so they aren't completely behind the 8-ball. Tomlin very well might be using this as a motivational tool. But I doubt it.

For him to say THAT in that kind of spontaneous, emotional setting means hes already wondering how HE can rise to the challenge of facing and beating NE and out-coaching BB

Between Antonio Brown and Odell Beckham, modern NFL receivers are weird. Brown was just smiling at himself endlessly in the camera while stroking his body and counting the number of viewers.

 

[groundgame]

I want Goodell to show and then for the Patriots to put his image up every time the Steelers are on offense.

By going to Atlanta, Goodell has boxed himself in. Can't go to Atlanta on back-to back weekends, and at the same time avoiding the place he Least wants go to in North America.

They're a bit giddy right now. They're all think the coal mine is rehiring them on Friday.

That's called "flexing" for his Facebook live followers.

 

[chasa]

in before all the media idiot hot takes that go something along the lines of "tomlin is just saying what we're all thinking"

 

[ivanvamp]

I have no problem with anything Tomlin said there. I do think it's not right to give one team a day's advantage though. Play one conference's semifinals on Saturday, the other on Sunday. Flip them the next year. At least then the teams are playing with the same amount of rest. That's fair, and there's really no reason not to do that.

They wouldn't have had the discipline to rest, that's why he flew them back on a red eye.

Sure he can. He'll find a way.

 

[PlanB]

if one of the Patriots did this, the N*FL would sue the Pats for video copyright infringement

 

[pwes]

I'm actually surprised this is still up. It's the internet so the video will likely be preserved for all eternity but I would have at least though someone would have called Brown and told him to delete it.

Wow, perfect post all around. Thank god there are actually some rational replies mixed in here every once in a while.
