vuduchile 1,941 Posted January 3, 2019 Just another overpaid diva WR. When will NFL teams learn that a WR can't carry a team? https://www.foxnews.com/sports/pittsburgh-steelers-antonio-brown-calls-ex-teammate-turned-analyst-uncle-tom-after-criticism Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vuduchile 1,941 Posted January 3, 2019 I'm going to need a bit more back story. He's been all over the news for the last week. There are about a half zillion stories about him on the internet right now. Allegedly: Fighting with teammate Skipping a meeting Faking an injury Teammates calling him out Coach benched him for last game even though they needed to win to get into the playoffs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peenie 1,690 Posted January 3, 2019 Whaat? For years he was such a good player. I don't recall reading bad things about him. Is he starting to play poorly as well? And that is a great point you make about WRs not being able to carry a team. Julio Jones plays really well but still the Falcons lose week after week.

Strike 3,978 Posted January 3, 2019 Stupid comment about the uncle tom. However, Pitt is a mess. They've pissed off their two best players not named Ben. They'd be in the playoffs had they not done that. Now they're probably gonna have to trade AB and Bell ain't coming back either. Ben is getting up there in age so who knows how long he will be around. It's an undisciplined locker room with no accountability. Tomlin needs to go but they won't fire him. I predict a run of mediocrity for the Steelers, much like the Pats in the not too distant future. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RLLD 3,455 Posted January 3, 2019 It seems as thought the Steelers had a big issue in the locker room this past season. I think back to when Bell decided not to show and rather than rally behind him the team was essentially divvying up his stuff and saying "bye felicia", Brown does not seem to have much in the way of team support either....

peenie 1,690 Posted January 4, 2019 Antonio Brown has had a stellar career, leading the NFL league in both yards and touchdowns, even this very year. So he gets in a argument with a teammate and misses a meeting...he should be traded and reduce his contract??? That's rather harsh for a player who is one of the best in the league.

Baker Boy 1,485 Posted January 4, 2019 His teammates voted JuJu Smith-Schuster the team MVP so AB feels disrespected and as a result is butt hurt. It also looked like AB lost a 1/2 step this year. He was 1st in TDs, 9th in receiving yards and 7th in receptions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you were right in sitting this one out. He is a me first guy in a team first sport. You should look up more about his antics. He is upset because he may not be the best receiver on his team.

kilroy69 994 Posted September 6, 2019 Report: Antonio Brown confronted Mike Mayock in middle of practice, called him 'cracker' The nfl should step in and suspend him. We all know if some white guy yelled the N word at their GM the nfl would suspend him 3 games. This is no different. Can a GM be called a spic? How about a whop?

All those poor white people that were forced into working for nothing and being called crackah It was used as a racial epitaph. So some epitaphs are gonna be ok. Others not? Can we get a list? Lets even back off a little and not drop the nuclear N word. Lets say a white player called his GM a darkey..at practice so everyone could hear it. If he called him a f@g ya think he would be suspended? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cracker, sometimes white cracker or cracka, is a term for white people, used especially for poor rural whites in the Southern United States. It has been taken as an offensive and derogatory term to people of Caucasian or European descent and is largely considered a slur in modern usage. It was a slur 30 years ago when I was in school in Georgia. Its a slur now. so again. Which racial slurs are ok? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While the N word does not. Maybe brown was just asking if anyone had crackers.....in the middle of an argument. Hell maybe his pet teacup dog is named cracker. Ooo. Ooooo. Maybe he was just calling him a crackerjack and said the jack part really soft Lets not sugar coat it here. He used a racial slur just the way he intended to do but it doesn't matter because it was directed towards a straight white man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baker Boy 1,485 Posted September 7, 2019 ESPN's Adam Schefter has reported that by fining Antonio Brown $215,073.53 Friday night for conduct detrimental to the team, the Raiders voided the $29.1 million worth of guaranteed money in his deal. Schefter added in a followup tweet that, "The Raiders sent Brown a letter that he no longer will be entitled to termination pay if they release him." Brown requested his release from the Raiders on Instagram Saturday morning. The chances of AB ever suiting up in silver and black seem as dim as ever at this point. Tyrell Williams would be the biggest beneficiary of Brown's outright release, although his status as a downfield field-stretcher doesn't exactly mesh with Derek Carr's skill set. SOURCE: Adam Schefter on Twitter. Sep 7, 2019, 9:25 AM ET ESPN's Jeff Darlington reported that Antonio Brown isn't expected to suit up for the Raiders' Monday night matchup against the Broncos. Darlington noted that he received an email from AB. The receiver mentioned the Raiders "took away my guarantees" and added there's "no way I play after they took that and made my contract week to week." AB's own declaration of requesting a release, the Raiders decision to fine Brown and take away his guaranteed money, along with Darlington's own report all obviously indicate that it'd be shocking if Brown suits up Monday night against the Broncos.
