Antonio Brown Mega-Thread

[Ras-IR Dowling]

A Pittsburgh offense in 2019 minus brown too? We may get to see Ben’s cliff sooner than expected.

OT: Antonio Brown missed game for incident not injury


How Tomlin keeps his job is beyond me.

Sources: Antonio Brown benched after he skipped practice

It is far deeper than what the PFT story linked above covers. Def worth a read at the Post Gazette

Sources: Antonio Brown benched after he skipped practices

Hard to imagine AB, Ben and Trip cohabiting after this. It's also hard to fathom the Rooney's keeping Tomlin after reporting a bogus injury and the team falling on it's face. Definitely a 'stay tuned for more' situation in Sh!ttsburgh

Sounds like he's nuts.

Brown also was accused of throwing furniture from the 14th-floor balcony of a Florida luxury apartment complex in April while in a rage about a missing $80,000 and gun, according to a lawsuit and police reports.

WTF! That should be grounds for eviction, I don't care if he owns the unit. Someone could have died!

 

[scout]

Well, I disagree somewhat. The fact they benched his ass instead of letting him play says something.

I bet he is on the trade block and here is a pretty sweet place for him to land. He needs the BB method to be a legit HoFer.

No. Tomlin should not have gone with a medical excuse. He should have been inactive. The reason would (it supposedly did) would get out. More entertainment next year.

PITT will try to trade him.

And I believe that Bell is a free agent.

And PITT isn't in the playoffs.

PITT management, coaching and fans have gotten exactly hat they deserve.

BIG dead money cap hit.

If this were us getting caught lying we’d be getting raked through the coals in the media.

Squealers now almost as dysfunctional as the Jete.

The fact they covered for his ass with the injury BS says even more, none of it good.

 

[Ring 6]

The fundamental problem is they have allowed his me-first behavior to fester and chose to discipline him before a critical game. You have to wonder if they ever tried to nip it in the bud.

I don't know if it would be any different outcome than if he played here but I can guarantee you he'd have a clear understanding of what was/wasn't OK and if he didn't comply he'd be benched or gone regardless of how productive he was here.

Right. The issue isn’t benching him, it’s the culture that allowed him to act like that and think it was fine.
AWOL for the 3rd time this season. What’s the saying one is an accident, twice is a concern, 3 times is a trend.

Exactly. They covered it up.

With that said, we all know what BB would have said.

...and the BB haters will say it's no different than the Malcolm situation and they will be wrong.

Goes a long way towards explaining how they came unglued down the stretch though doesn't it? Apparently the only thing some of their players hate more than each other is the Pats.

I thought lying on the injury report was against the rules, or does it only apply to select teams?

It’s the antithesis actually.

Well, they can't say...BROWN-DOUBTFUL-PRIMADONNA

And for the first time I would’ve had some respect for the Steelers had they done that.

These reports about one of my most hated teams are like a second Christmas. I hope they give Smilin’ Mike a lifetime contract.

Agree.

I really enjoy the chaos and dysfunction of other NFL teams. Especially all AFCE teams, Squealers, Ratbirds, Dolts, Iggles, Gints and......i'll think of more.
