Antonio Brown Thread

Feel free to merge this Jack or BWGOOD but I think this may deserve it's own thread.

AB is now claiming the Bucs forced him to play due to injury.

I honestly have mixed thoughts about this. I know everyone thinks this dude is a headcase but why would he sacrifice literally a guaranteed $1M in bonuses over this crap?

I said, 'Coach, I can't.' He didn't call for medical attention. Instead, he shouted at me, 'YOU'RE DONE!' while he ran his finger across his throat. Coach was telling me that if I didn't play hurt, then I was done with the Bucs."

Is there any evidence of this? Any footage?

AB has zero credibility. I don't believe a single thing that comes out of his mouth. He's just doing damage control at this point in hopes that another team will give him a shot, but hate to break it to him his career is a wrap.

Dude is nuts. Got a problem? There's a way to handle it. Jumping jacks half naked in the endzone, in the middle of a game? Just off.

If I’m a team needing a receiver, I’m sorry. This is NOT the guy I’m calling. Not unless he undergoes a full independent psychological assessment. Because… he’s nuts.

Vontaze Burfict. A player out of the socal area. A Vicious hitter, when he played for a local HS State Champion.
Rodney Harrison said, after Burficts killer hit to ABs head, when Cincy played the Steelers.
This dude AB has never been the same, after that Train Crash hit. That game was 1 of those games, where I was feeling the Hits sittin at home watching it. It was scary nervous to watch the hitting going on during that particular game.

I totally agree. people say he was doing crazy things before that hit, and I agree, but it was taken to another level post burfict hit

toradol is given out like skittles pregame to nfl players, Im not surprised to hear that. (this is why I always said if nfl players were willing to risk the side effects of toradol then the side effects of vaccine pale in comparison).

Okay - this may be a controversial post on here but I'm pretty sure most players are getting these injections at least somewhat fairly regularly. I'm not saying they have a right of refusal but it's common practice.

It comes with the nature of playing in the NFL or else I'm also fairly certain we'd have a lot more guys on the injury report.

So even if what he's saying is truthful he still acted like a crazy person.

My overall point is the pain injections / knowing you probably will get a concussion / etc. are part of inherent risks every player knows when they sign up for this.
