Sideline Report: Antonio Brown Tried To Charge Bruce Arians, Held Back

January 6th, 2022

Antonio Brown

Joe has heard plenty about the Antonio Brown saga from three distinct and reliable sources. And one nugget Joe got last night was especially comical and telling.

Joe was told with authority that Brown was very bitter about how the Bucs’ public stance during his three-game NFL suspension for floating a fraudulent vaccine card was that the organization was undecided about Brown’s future.

In short, Brown was miffed that Bucco Bruce Arians or general manager Jason Licht didn’t come out quickly and say Brown will be back after his suspension and we’re looking forward to it.

For weeks, Arians publicly made it seem the team wasn’t sure it wanted Brown back.

So the comical part is that Brown, while lighting up the Panthers for 10 catches two games ago (his first game post-suspension) was taunting Licht on the sidelines after catching the football, Joe was told.

To paraphrase, Joe was told Brown was chirping at Licht. “You wanna cut me now?” The information comes from a player. Whether Licht heard or understood Brown is unclear.

The Twitter photo and commentary below (not the video) is a from a fan at Sunday’s game. “Erin” obviously had a great seat and a camera, and she posted Monday that Brown attempted to charge Arians on the sidelines and was restrained by Cameron Brate and Mike Evans.

And some fans thought Hard Knocks was a distraction!

    AB lawyer claims:
    “…Brown disclosed in the statement that he underwent an MRI on his ankle that revealed broken bone fragments stuck in his ankle, in addition to a ligament torn from the bone and cartilage loss..”
    ———-
    This is easy to prove. Just show MRI.

  2. 1Gr8Buc Says:

    Guy is a complete basket case. It is humorous reading you morons on here trying to defend his behavior. He released texts between he an BA and it really did nothing in his favor lol.

    I’m sure it won’t stop you wannabe sports talk show hosts from talking out your a$$ though and making things up.

  3. Im not tired anymore we Super Bowl Champs!! Says:

    Good thing we won our SB in year 1 Brady! Maybe this all adds fire to the team for SB in year 2 Brady! Go Bucs!

  4. Swampbuc Says:

    What’s even easier to prove is that this MRI is no different than the one the Bucs took — idiots don’t think Bucs’ medical did these procedures during Brown’s injury down time? The Bucs MRI comparison will probably show healing.

    And even easier than that to prove is all the witnesses who heard Brown go off on his teammates, GM, and wanting to charge the head coach.

    What a total loser. What an idiot someone is for taking Brown’s side.

  5. VSyl Says:

    I defended his return after the card incident, but his guy is like a psychopath. Nothing is his fault and he has no sense of correct feelings. In this situation, he should have instantly apologized for the whole team, coaches and manager for the incident and suspension and just be grateful that he got back after that. Instead he preferred to blame them and thrown in their faces how good he is. That’s unreal. Based on this report alone, BA’s attitude was more than necessary and he should have been cut right after the panthers game for calling out Licht. That would happen in any profession.

  6. Bird Says:

    He will be on saints roster next year

  7. Smashsquatch Says:

    Quit on his team in epic fashion and now trying to burn the house down, just as he did with the Steelers & Raiders. AB wants us to look at the shiny object, but the big picture is all too easy to see.

  8. uhmmm Says:

    woke mob cant wait to back AB

  9. JoeG Says:

    I agree with this as I was also at the game sitting a 2nd level behind bucs sideline. AB was clearly frustrated the entire game yelling at coaches and players and pulling up things on the tablet. No one seemed to know how to respond to him. I wasnt sure if this was his normal acting on the sideline that u just cant see on tv. Until i saw him running around with no shirt.

  10. Listnfrmafar Says:

    Wow, he didn’t go to practice for two days pregame, they shot him up before the game. Very possible by half-time AB wasn’t feeling right, maybe wanted to shoot him up again and he said F no and went off. BA pissed he wouldn’t take one for the team and the shat hit the fan on the sidelines. If this started in the locker room, sorry but I don’t believe for one minute BA didn’t hear him refuse because of his ankle, we are forgetting the assistants we’re involved as well. You tell a guy like AB you’re done, he takes it to the extreme. As far as jogging and jumping Jack’s, nowhere near the stress you put on your body going full speed in a game. I am not being bias because I am not a BA fan but somethings not quite right. Brown was also forfeiting $1MM in incentives. The rub some dirt on it doesn’t work anymore

  11. Bobby M. Says:

    He is who he’s always been……that’s why his contract was structured the way it was. AB ignores how he embarrassed the organization with the fake vax card, ignored protocols for safety, got suspended….and in classic form attempts to make himself into the victim because the team didn’t have full confidence in whether he would return.

    I’m a firm believer, every guy out there is playing dinged up…..particularly 10 yr vets. They will all walk away from the game with permanent damage so i have no doubt AB probably does have an ankle issue. But he was fine in Carolina….he was fine on the Wednesday following the Panthers game. Then suddenly the ankle is a problem, then its not and he’s playing….then he’s not getting enough targets and complaining at half time….then the ankle is a problem again. Its telling that Brady and Suh both come out and say he needs professional help unrelated to the ankle. Again, my opinion is AB’s entire identiy as a human being is built around his football talent that he believes entitles him to being the exception. This didn’t start this year…..its been a thing since his early days in high school, college, with the Steelers and so on.

  12. PassingThru Says:

    I stand by my first assessment when the story broke. Arians never wanted Brown back, Licht did, undoubtedly with pressure from Brady. Brown never forgave Arians, and Arians in turn was stuck with a player he didn’t want on the team.

    I’m sure Arians went out of his way to make Brown know he wasn’t wanted. Brown though is an idiot, in his mind he wasn’t expendable and made sure Arians knew that whenever possible. That was my belief, that’s why I insist that there’s a backstory to that clown show we watched on Sunday.

  13. LVMYBUCS Says:

    So funny to see how people who didn’t come up like AB or lived his type of lifestyle are quick to judge. Until all the facts come out I reserve judgment and even after who cares he has left the building and it is what it is. “Let him who is without sin cast the first stone”.

  14. Lamarcus Says:

    Let it rain!!! I don’t feel bad for BA, Licht or Brady. They hitch their wagon on AB and said they wanted and needed him. BA should of never contradicted himself and stuck with his guns and gut feeling

  15. #8 Says:

    I backed AB during the vaxx card nonsense from the standpoint the NFL set precedence with db12…
    But man AB…and if he had words against TB12 at the Panther game as well as against Licht and charging Arians. Damn.
    His teammates know he is crazy. The poor man is crazy & its too bad.
    Cannot get angry at someone who is truly crazy–he has no sense in actual reality.

  16. LVMYBUCS Says:

    @Lamarcus Says:

    Totally agree, he has contradicted himself a lot this season and he is to quick to throw players under the bus. He needs to retire and take Byron with him.

  17. PassingThru Says:

    It wasn’t Arians decision to waive AB, waiving players is Licht’s responsibility. I’m positive Arians didn’t want him around, there was a history of bad blood between those two, going back to Pittsburg. But Licht and Brady knew AB was needed for the Bucs to have a legit shot at winning the Super Bowl. Arians was pretty much stuck with a player he didn’t want on the roster. A player who he said had one chance, and blew that chance. And that too chewed at Arians authority as a coach as well as wounding his ego.

    That set the stage for the confrontation.

  18. Lamarcus Says:

    As good and handsome as Brady is and clean and whole American Brady is….idk why in world he befriends someone like AB. This is weird in itself and then lives with him around his family Brady might need some mental help as well or should stay away from him.

  19. LVMYBUCS Says:

    We like to call people crazy because they don’t conform to what we are use to seeing in society everyday. Well your norm may be a lot different then someone who grew up in the hood and has really never learned self control or other aspects of life. AB isn’t crazy he’s just NOT WHAT WE ARE USE OF SEEING.

  20. SB~LV Says:

    Kinda like dogsh*t on your shoe

  21. mg Says:

    Such a “Hallmark Moment”.

  22. LVMYBUCS Says:

    Again- “Let him who is without sin cast the first stone”.

  23. Aaron Says:

    Brown wanted to do just enough to get his Bonus but not enough to help the Bucs Win…He knew he’d get it against the Panthers…Check out that route he ran where the CB just fell down…

  24. Francisco Guzman Says:

    I don’t believe a word this guy says. He had 10 catches for 100 something yards not so long ago. He was out for 2 months as well. Give me a break. Could he have reinjured it? Idk but i doubt his story. Show us the MRI

  25. mg Says:

    Overpaid players, league is full of immature prima donnas, owners getting hand jobs or whatever… If I had not witnessed TB-12 up close for his career, I would not be watching the nfl. When he retires, adios nfl.

  26. crazyBucs_CL Says:

    This is from BA closes friends, “the reporters”:
    ~~~
    “Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians had a unique way to say his team wouldn’t be signing Odell Beckham Jr. Asked about the veteran receiver on Wednesday, Arians told reporters, “We’ve already got AB; we don’t need OBJ”
    ~~~
    You think this is LOVE for AB??!!!You think he was talking to Odell???!!! NO.
    He was hitting AB on every chance he got, way before vaxx stupid card.

  27. Tampabaybucfan Says:

    I am quite convinced that the AB controversy is not affecting the payers adversely. Brady will not let that happen…..they are focused on Carolina & to do what they can to get the 2nd seed…..

    AB has zero credibility…..anyone who blames BA for this has likely been a BA hater all along…

    Like the Realist, Medicated Pete, Listnfrmafar

  28. tampabayallday Says:

    Don’t care about the vax card thing but he definitely went overboard with the tantrum. I honestly blame Jenna Lane from espn for dogging the man after the Carolina game. I’m sure her doing that is what caused AB to think the organization doesn’t have his back.

  29. geno711 Says:

    Buc’s snap the ball with 13 minutes left in the 2nd quarter. Watch the film.
    Tell me that AB could not play at all. Funny also on that play it is AB making the cutthroat signal that he says BA made to him.

    Also, teams use Toradol before games typically. It is a 6 hour pain killer. If it typically did not last a whole game for AB both AB and the Bucs would already know that.

    They say there are two sides to every story. With AB, I feel like there are at least 5 to 10 stories.

    1. He had a hurt ankle and could not make moves on it although, he just did in the 2nd quarter with a three stop move that left the defensive back on his butt.
    2. He was playing until Arians told him to stop playing.
    3. He was upset that he was not going to reach incentives that game.
    4. Arians gave him a cutthroat signal.
    5. Bucs did not support him enough during the time of the fake vaccination card.
    6. People do not know the truth, he never had a fake vaccination card.
    7. He is an athlete, so when he jumps and shows no pain in the end zone as he leave, it means nothing.
    8. So he never understood that he was supposed to see trainers during the game, if he felt he was hurt. he thought the only protocol was to talk to the head coach no one else.
    9. He will have surgery, but he will not have the Bucs doctors look examine me as required by the CBA.
    10. He did not have a crazy outburst in the locker room at halftime.

  30. #8 Says:

    LVMYBUCS–have you seen AB’s tweets today?
    Its very breakdown type behavior. Perhaps ‘crazy’ is a crass term.
    How about mentally under duress? AB has mental/emotional problems-
    We all grew up differently–some better, some worse.
    AB’s current behavior over this mess is clearly off kilter. NOT just different.
    No stone casting–simply pointing out dude is unhinged.
    All things are a two-way street. I believe BA was a jerk to him. Doesn’t give AB a pass to behave how he’s behaving. Just like all his past transgressions…he has not learned.
    Bucs got lucky last year AB kept it clean.

  31. Dlavid Says:

    The more we read about the situation, the more that comes out, makes it plain and obvious that Antonio Brown should have never been back on the team after the VAX card incident. Sooner or later this type of thing was going to happen and he has probably derailed the chances of this team making the Super Bowl. Because of his absence from the team and his abilities, and because of the distraction and all the trauma.

  32. Duane Says:

    This guy has problems, was enabled, and immediately went Full AB the second he had the upper hand. The only spin you can put on this is to allege that you care about this guy, and hope you dont perform badly because of the distraction. He definitely made the team better on Sundays, and he did contribute to the success last year. Zero surprise on ABs heel turn, and if he felt comfortable enough to taunt Licht in Carolina, im not sure why the powers that be expected this situation to pan out differently.

  33. HC Grover Says:

    This mess is going legal. I bet it is going in to the realm of medications given and side effects possible. Many other areas too. That is what lawyers look at. The players will be Brown, the team Docs, The trainers, The player union, The lawyers, Buc staff, and insurance companies. Total distraction. It could even involve Buc players as witnesses. This is even worse than it appears. A Brown lawsuit valid or not could tear the team apart.

  34. Bucfan81 Says:

    Should of never signed this idiot to begin with. Play stupid games when stupid prizes.

  35. Bucschamp Says:

    Teammate talking about AB means he is alone in this fight. Nobody siding with this guy except his lawyer. They knew how rotten he is

  36. Listnfrmafar Says:

    Did anyone think maybe AB wasn’t ready to play in Carolina but took one for the team, that’s why he was taunting? If AB felt like he had done above and beyond in the locker room and on the playing field, Grayson and many others confirmed that and when he pulled his vax card bs knowing he was vaccinated anyway pre training camp, he felt he was betrayed by BA, for his entire suspension he kept jerking AB & Edward’s around not committing to or not to cut these guys. BA has a nasty side to him, most older coaches do.

  37. Wild Bill Says:

    Everybody knew this guy was poison from his previous behavior on other teams and in his private life.. Shame on the Bucs for signing him. Great physical talent mixed with an erratic brain/ personality. It was just a matter of time before he self destructed. Again. Character matters. Lesson learned I hope.

  38. 1Gr8Buc Says:

    Joe’s…. You guys are slacking with the text messages and tweets from AB.
    Not slacking. Joe has to find them exceptionally interesting and compelling, and Joe is waiting to see where they go. So far, they aren’t any kind of can’t-miss fun. –Joe

  39. ClodHopper Says:

    IIRC on the Ira podcast Steve feared almost this exact scenario but was a year behind. Injured receivers, late in the season, all that. So kudos.
    Explanation was that if Brown was put in a position where the Bucs are truly relying on him as the top dog, then he would go all diva over money and respect, etc. –Joe

    How is there not sideline video of the entire thing? They caught Mark Sanchez eating a hotdog but they miss this?

  40. Cobraboy Says:

    Any human with “ligaments torn off bones” will not be prancing about like a happy rainbow unicorn…

  41. Listnfrmafar Says:

    Wild Bill, it probably didn’t help if BA was never happy about the decision to pick him up and got overruled. What we do know is BA likes to make it known he is the big man and all things go through him and maybe he didn’t want to bring him back and Licht said we need him with no Godwin and that went up his arse sideways.

  42. Cobraboy Says:

    All this because he stiffed his chef.

  43. Robert Says:

    haters gonna hate

  44. Coburn Says:

    The look in that guy’s face (can’t makeout the number) says it all lol. Quite the glare at ab

  45. Perimeter Blocker Says:

    We prostituted ourselves as long as we could. Brown bit the hand that fed him… How many chances do you get???

  46. gofortheface30 Says:

    I really want Antonio Brown to get run over by a train. I dont think ive ever despised someone I dont even know more than I do with this guy. He is a vile human. He is one of those kind of people that cannot be helped no matter how many different medications you give him. An abomination

  47. Steven007 Says:

    Cobra, I made the same comment last week. Absolutely correct. Had he not been a POS and simply paid his bills none of this would be happening.

  48. adam from ny Says:

    like i’m sure many players have also had issues with AB this season, as he seems to continually act wild, step on toes and come out his face on people like a madman…

    the point i’m getting at is he is actually a very tiny football player, a small man in a big man’s game, fit and not all that built, so why haven’t we heard of another bucs player trying to put this guy through a wall at some point this season…

    i would think it was only a matter of time before a fellow teammate actually beat the heck out of him or cold knocked him out at the facility or on team grounds

  49. crazyBucs_CL Says:

    @”…How many chances do you get???…”
    ———————–
    As many as need it. Bucs are not an education institution.
    Years ago we let go Blount, yeah, yeah… he was a bad boy..
    We were saying “we can’t have this player in our team”….
    ~~~~
    “LeGarrette Blount Sucker-Punched His Opponent, Then Attacked Fans”
    ~~~~
    NE signed him up, and he become the best running back there, helping Tom to win SB.
    What ever it takes to win.
    That is what NFL does as well, right?? What ever it takes to make $$$$$.

  50. Listnfrmafar Says:

    Cobraboy, you forget he was shot up. AB is a lose cannon no doubt but like Ricky Ricardo always said, “Lucy you got some splaining, to do.” We haven’t heard enough from BA or the team yet, they know the real story. Did someone write Brown was in Bradys face in Carolina? If so was it argumental or quick I’m open, or you ran the wrong route or take it easy bro my ankles killing me? That could be anything players lash out good & bad all the time. What we do know this won’t be a distraction for him and Gronk, spygate, deflategate, his moms cancer during suspension year. Now rest of the team the verdict is still out.

  51. Oxycodoms Says:

    Found it interesting at time when brady after game said he didnt know what was going

  52. SOEbuc Says:

    AB statement I just saw is hilarious. I didn’t know he was a creative writes major lmao.

  53. tampabuscsbro Says:

    It’s not like he is a massive pathological liar at this point.

    Oh yeah he is. Everything he says at this point is a lie. Let’s be real.

  54. Vsyl Says:

    @adam because his teammates are not crazy like him

  55. Architek Says:

    This is what happens when you lay with dogs and wake up with fleas. He’s a cancer and no matter how you slice it, it will always be others fault.

    Just be grateful he behaved long enough to get a Super Bowl out of it.

  56. adam from ny Says:

    i always thought it was weird that brady let him stay in his home…

    he supposedly has a wife and kids there…

    i didn’t understand he felt they were 100% safe in AB’s presence…

    i get that AB is sort of like brady’s son, and AB is all riding his jock and all, but AB still could freak out at any moment around his family…

    unless they basically had an isolated guest area or guest house on the premises that keeps him distanced…

    i don’t get how brady thought AB was a safe and chill houseguest from the get go

  57. Cobraboy Says:

    Listn: What is wrong with you?

    Any “‘splaining” will be through league protocols…which your hero Brown violated.

    There is nothing short of a violent felony perpetrated against him that could excuse a pro athlete quitting on his team in the heat of battle.

    Hell, Brown didn’t even give a Duran “No Mas.”
    ………….
    The last self-immolation I can remember on a football field was when Woody Hayes slugged a Clemson player on the sideline in the ’78 Gator Bowl.

    Brown plays a pathetic Victim Card, but some self-hating casuals will buy into it.

  58. Cobraboy Says:

    @adam: I suspect Brady thought his influence could “rehab” Brown. And for a while, it seemed to work.

  59. adam from ny Says:

    once AB got comfortable and settled in with the bucs, that’s when the trouble would begin…

    and that would be this season…

    last season he was barely settled in with the team or in tampa…

    once comfortable, the true AB came out…

    and now he’s trying to simply destroy the bucs…

    djax was a walk in the park next to this guy

  60. adam from ny Says:

    @Cobraboy:

    yes brady was able to keep him under the wing and control him while he was so unsettled in his new environment…

    once AB got comfortable this season and spread his wings, the whole team had to prepare for a multitude of fiascos…

    as i mentioned before, AB is a fairly small person – look how tiny he is in the group picture accompanying the thread – i’m actually shocked at some point a teammate didn’t feel he crossed the line with them and at least throw a big open paw right across the side of his head, or something like that…

    i’m sure he got out of line with many many people during his tampa pitstop…

    he’s just that type of guy…you know bigger than his britches

  61. Marine Buc Says:

    Now AB is attacking TB12 and his trainer on Twitter.

    AB paid $100K for training services and is now asking for a refund.

    AB’s recent statement: “imagine your QB trainer charges you 100k then does no work – must have been the plan all along”

    AB is a paranoid bipolar schizophrenic. He seriously does need an intervention and mental health treatment ASAP…

  62. adam from ny Says:

    the real problem is the AB situation has now become bigger than the bucs and the bucs season…

    as we are entering the playoffs…

    this is no longer a dark cloud…

    it’s coing on like a fuggin’ typhoon…

    everyone kid and grandmother are gonna know about this story within the coming days…

    as i said, djax was nothing compared to AB…

    AB is trying to leave the bucs in shambles

  63. Coburn Says:

    Pfff… Weak AB. You’re no Greg Jennings… He broke his frickin leg but he out the team in his back still

  64. Weebs10 Says:

    Hahaha @Coburn “I PUT THE TEAM ON MY BACK!”

  65. adam from ny Says:

    typo:

    it’s coming on like a fuggin’ typhoon…

  66. BucsFanSince1976 Says:

    Bucs will rally around each other and this will galvanize the team psyche just in time for collecting our 2nd Lombardi Trophy in a row. I was in the minority calling for AB’s dismissal during “FAKE CARD GATE”, but how quickly others see the reality now.
    Grayson is a star in the making and the defense will get healthy and start creating turnovers in bunches. I want the Packers again and the Chiefs again.
    FIRE THE CANNONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  67. jehzsa Says:

    I don’t know if you guys know this but AB was in the helicopter alongside anchorman Brian Williams when a nuclear device detonated 100 feet from them.

  68. Bucamania Says:

    Explanation was that if Brown was put in a position where the Bucs are truly relying on him as the top dog, then he would go all diva over money and respect, etc. –Joe

    THIS ^^^ As soon as he was more than a luxury he went all AB. Good riddance.

  69. New England Patriots Fan Says:

    So he was fired on sideline, and BA lied about prior knowledge on injury and request to not play, and lied about prior meeting before travel to Jets game about injury, and that lied about AB being treated via injection prior to game. But AB had history of acting a fool. Very easy to prove both the firing and throat gesture and the AB changing BA, game sideline filmed just share the tape of side during those few minutes to confirm both sides.

  70. New England Patriots Fan Says:

    Guy was making 1m veteran minimum and was prob number two weapon on team when playing. Cheapest value WR in league. BA lost temper and handle entire thing stupidly its over now. Either way this team is one in done or maybe wins and loses in second round game to Dal/Rams/Az. Not cause of AB loss but bad coaching with or with AB there. Can’t offset bad coaching compared to good coached teams, as we have seen with Rams, Saints, Colts and Washington and other better coached teams they lost to or needed refs to save them. Even with Tampa being a very talented team the coaching is weak to average. This same roster with Bill and Josh coaching it would be undefeated and AB wouldn’t have even be signed 2 years ago. Tom is carrying this entire team now, but unless he rejects BA’s offence scheme and calls most of the offence it will flop v. a good D coordinator.

  71. HC Grover Says:

    Grover sez pay him now to go away and stfu. It would be worth every penny.

  72. Richard Dickson Says:

    A month ago everybody was all “He lied about his vaccination card, how can we trust him?!?!” Now it’s “AB has receipts, we believe him!”

    You can’t have both.

  73. BucsCoolade Says:

    Fake vax card is so stupidly irrelevant , it should never have been a story.. from dum dork that cried about it and “told”? If this goes on to cost bucs their postseason…? Omg.. thx covidiots!

    This became the “covidiot diss”.. BA: I dunno if we cut him or not… duh”. over a vax card?

    Really brucee? Is it causing yur SB undies to get too tight? . Focus on the football, give the player the respect since hes part of the SB undies winning team and hes under contract.

  74. Bucs Win Says:

    Ever notice how the it’s never Antonio Clowns’ fault. Anyone taking up for him looks just as stupid as he does.

  75. firethecannons Says:

    Bucs don’t need this sh*t at this time, time for a team meeting goes to show how one bad seed can really Fu*k up the locker room.

  76. Coburn Says:

    Bucswin. In my 10 year marriage it was constant trouble.. if things were quiet for more than a week or two she’d create some drama out of boredom. Nothing was ever her fault, I can count on one hand how many times she apologized.. you can imagine who made things right generallt just to keep the peace. Once divorce hit yeah.. aired dirty laundry in Facebook until my lawyer stopped it. Took an ounce of truthful events and twisted and embellished them so badly, told my kids how greedy I was etc. I only took about 1/3 at most because family gifts were involved and knew I shouldn’t insist on half. Same type of personality I think.

    I half wonder if there is some way to serve him with a cease and desist and settle this behind closed doors once the season is over. Or would that look like a cover up? I don’t think he has the credibility

  77. Coburn Says:

    And yeah some people are just professional victims

  78. BucsFanSince1976 Says:

    Bucs will be #2 seed guaranteed-so at worst we play one road game against sorry pack that we beat in their house last year.Rodgers playoff record is 7-8 , Brady has a playoff record of 34 WINS and 11 LOSSES. At least BA had enough stones and integrity to not commit to bringing back the ” CANCER ” that is AB.It only takes one bad apple to spoil the bunch. BA saw this coming from a mile away. AB is damaged goods.
    Hey Pats Fan- Bucs have Brady and he is the GOAT-SUK IT

  79. adam from ny Says:

    i just watched that you tuber “mikerophone” or whatever his name is…

    he does some good stories…

    but he did one last night that totally sides with AB vs the bucs…

    story is 11 hours old now…

    now i’m starting to question all his videos – he seems totally unaware of everything that’s gone on, yet is talking about it like a “know it all”

  80. August 1976 Buc Says:

    It is simple, AB was pissed off and quit, and walked off.

    Now AB is trying to say and do anything to not look as bad as he did, so it helps him get on another team, whether this year or next.

    breaking news:

    AB is jealous that BA has a foot issue worse than his 🙂

  82. Armybucfan Says:

    I really hate people talking about how AB’s upbringing has everything to do with the man’s attitude. At some point in your life you have to grow the fuq up and not blame your upbringing for stupidity and immaturity. Yes, AB is a really talented football player, but he forgot one major thing…football is a team sport. If it wasn’t for Brady AB would not have even been here. Brady literally opened up his home to prove to the organization AB could be trusted and has “learned from his past mistakes”. Well, we see how long that lasted. AB needs professional help and probably suffers from CTE and the NFL SHOULD BAR AB FROM PLAYING FOOTBALL EVER AGAIN!

    “sorry but I don’t believe for one minute BA”

    “Let him who is without sin cast the first stone”. – First stone? Try 15 to 20.

    “AB isn’t crazy he’s just NOT WHAT WE ARE USE OF SEEING.” – No… he’s crazy

    Cobraboy – as usual, you are spot on.

    Everywhere Antonio Brown goes he leaves chaos and destruction in his wake. Every single time.
    If you defend psycho boy’s behavior then your just fools.

  86. PassingThru Says:

    AB is just using social media to provoke the team into releasing him, effective immediately. He pulled that stunt before in Oakland and it worked.

  87. Jmarkbuc Says:

    This will blow up in ABs face just like every maniacal stupid thing he’s done. Waited 10 weeks for him to come back, nobody forced him back.

    Knowing his history, the plausible explanation is he didn’t like BA’s wait and see remarks about his return from suspension. AB should have left it alone. BA was on record as saying one strike and you’re out. BA was trying to ease on through that and keep him on the team.

    Once again AB takes a dump on the people trying to keep his career going. Roethlisberger/ Tomlin, Gruden/ Mayock. Now Tb/Arians/Licht.

    Now that he’s accusing medical staff of misdeeds, no team is gonna touch this four time loser/ liar.

  88. EA Says:

    Did he call Licht and BA t” cracka a$$ crackas ” ?

  89. HomerSimpsonRocks Says:

    The “y’all didn’t support me enough in my (self-caused) time of need lament fits what appears to be his BPD. Glad we’re finally at least moving in the direction of getting rid of him. I feel dumb for ever defending the guy.

  90. Rod Munch Says:

    Why is taking so long for info to come out on this?

    It’s hard to believe they didn’t have cameras on the sideline the entire time that would clearly show all this stuff happening if it did.

    Anyways, what McAfee says there, that Brown was completely different when he came, that I find very believable, and now you have your trigger for everything that was happening, and why Brady was calling him a nutjob and saying he hopes he gets help.

    “I was in the minority calling for AB’s dismissal during “FAKE CARD GATE”, but how quickly others see the reality now.”

    I never wanted him here to begin with. I defended him on the card (even though I don’t like him) on principles that had nothing to do with his bad behavior. It was a totally separate issue.

  92. Bush's Coke Spoon Says:

    For all of the BA haters trying to come up with random hypotheticals how it was probably his fault, I found this. If you want to know how the team feels, and whose side they are on, this tweet might be a clue:

    Mike Edwards

    Take care of your mental.

    There was also a neat video on Twitter from pregame showing AB wandering around on the field by himself–deliberately isolating himself from the WHOLE TEAM which was huddled at a midfield pep talk. Quite the team player.

    Maybe this will put to rest the idiots saying BA is out of touch/deaf/spoke with the wrong tone on the sideline. All pure speculation. Spit was already going off before the game even started. Mental midget was looking for a reason to show someone up, just like always.

  93. Crickett Baker Says:

    His upbringing should not have damaged him to this extent. Did you know about Mike Evans? He was raised by a white mother and a black father. The father was very abusive to his mother, but it seemed he was great to Mike. When ME was 9 years old his mother’s brother killed Mike’s father right in front of his home. He found out when the police came in and told the family that there was a black guy lying dead in the street. How did he turn out?
    Another thing that AB is completely clueless about, it seems, is the betrayal and disrespect his teammates felt about his fradulent vax card. GEEZE.

  94. David Says:

    Screw him.

    Support!?!?!?!

    They brought him in and got him a Super Bowl ring.
    Brady went out of his way, at Rojos expense!, and made sure he got his incentives last year.
    But they didn’t support him when he lied to the team and the NFL about being vaccinated!?!? He didn’t have to lie, he could’ve just said he wasn’t vaccinated that’s not against the rules.

    Adios you immature diva

  95. Sorryjackchuckiesback Says:

    Once more for the Joe’s in the back *F*** ANTONIO BROWN!!!*
    Hated this dude and signing from the beginning!! Super bowl or not it’s just a game and I’m glad a LOSER like Brown will more than likely never get another chance in the NFL … GOOD!!! … I don’t care how good a receiver he is, again it’s a game!! That gets way more money, power and influence than a sport should in my opinion!! We should focus more on engineering, space travel, those flying cars we were supposed to have by now!! Lol … But man they sure have done a good job of dumbing down the public and making them drool over a football player!! He’s a horrible human being and no horrible human being should be getting the attention he is!! F – HIM!!

  96. Oneilbuc Says:

    AB doesn’t really want to play football anymore every since he got hit hard against Cincinnati. I’m not saying it’s cte but every since then he’s been playing the system. And what I mean is he’s finding ways to make millions without playing. Think about it every team he left had to pay him. He finds loop holds in those contracts and he reacts and get kick off teams and he always gets his money some kind of way. To me it’s the teams fault for keep signing him to contracts.
