Antonio Brown accuses Bucs of wanting him to play on injured ankle (update: finally released)

[SHOWTIME15]

Not sure what happened to the other Antonio Brown thread, but Brown's attorney released a statement today basically accusing Arians of wanting him to play on a severely damaged ankle. The Bucs should have shut him down for the rest of the regular season...what a mess.

 

[Guts]

I'm not sure AB gets the benefit of the doubt anymore

 

[Reubski23]

Omg why is this on the main board! This is a patriots forum! Omg my head is exploding

 

[Rob0729]

Coming from the same guy who lied about having a real vaccination card just a little more than a month ago and was caught lying. Sure I believe him now. He learned the errors of his way and would never lie again.

 

[Rob0729]

Some team will probably sign Brown next year. And they will be totally shocked when he implodes like he has done on every team he has been on in his career.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

I wonder if the Bucs will just outright release him now that everyone knows he needs surgery and may not be effective for the postseason…

 

[Palm Beach Pats Fan]

Hmmmm... is Arians lying his ass off? Or AB?

I am thinking AB.

The way brown was jumping around in the endzone sunday, it didn't look like it was bothering him very much.

Brown will sue and win. However, his career in the NFL is over.

 

[Rob0729]

I wonder if Brown will sue the Bucs for his bonus money he would have probably earned if he played. That would be too funny if he sued for money he could have only gotten if he played and produced while arguing the Bucs tried to force him to play even though his ankle was far too injured for him to play.

I believe him. Shameful. The way he limped out of the stadium? You know he was hurt...

the MRIs and medical reports from the hospital are going to be key…

AB is a nutcase and a proven jerkoff...enjoy the show while it lasts. At least he's not Rae Carruth...yet...

 

[jah]

Should be pretty easy to confirm or debunk, right?

 

[Pape]

you think teams like the cheefs care?

nah, me neither... thats why his career isnt over

He will never get into that club: Carruth, OJ, Hernandez, Lewis. He is in the 2nd tier - Leaf, Rice, Incognito, etc

 

[DropKickFlutie]

Ok.

AB burned his last bridge.

Definitely no Bucs these playoffs.

And no team next year.

It's sad how mentally insane he is. Is it CTE ?

First thing I thought as well

 

[Jangles]

I buy this

Arians seems like a doucher and probably thought AB would do whatever he was told after they kept him on the roster after the vaccine card.

AB did himself 0 favors with his antics while leaving though. If he’s telling the truth about the damage in his ankle though it won’t be hard to verify

 

[JayNM]

What a night to have insomnia

Its all come down to the verifiable facts hes claiming to have.

A top lawyer wouldnt allow this texto go without crossing ts and dotting is. A top doctor wouldnt fake medical records

Las thing in favor of AB (who is a bit crazy) Nothing that the systems loves as much as this: a highly productive cog with heavy bagage, very very easy to manipulate all around
