He quit on his team last week, and then when his coach was giving his season ending press conference, he posts video of himself with James Harrison promising a forthcoming interview. I mean, in a team sport, the latter alone is typically considered an unforgivable sin. Today, he slapped Mike Tomlin - a guy who has been incredibly loyal to him throughout his career - right across the face. Along with the entire organization. On top of blowing off his teammates, coaches, and even the team owner leading up to this game. That isn't high school stuff. I don't know how the team can keep this guy. If some people thought Tomlin was neutered by the team when they retired Lebeau and Arians, what do you think happens if they keep Antonio after this? That is untenable.

Not THAT serious to me. Seems like High School drama to me. Then again I'm not all that sensitive. The Man busts his tail during the season. He's an emotional player that's frustrated by a disappointing season. Of course I could do without all the nonsense but I think cooler heads will prevail.

CKSteeler Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 The guy has entered Terrell Owens territory. I don't even have to ask your opinion of TO. I'm pretty sure you've provided it already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better than idiots talking about Patrick Peterson. That would be 21.2M + 11.2M to the cap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Displayname Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Let’s say they don’t trade him. Do you/can you suspend him for conduct detrimental to the team (Terrell Owens treatment)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95lloyd Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 He's become a cancer. He quit on his team and then he turns to James Harrison when the Tomlin presser is on? Quit on your team mates and then go to another guy who had issues with Tomlin to cause more drama. I really don't care what the cap hit is I'd get rid of him.

VigilantZombie Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I'll tell you right now if the San Francisco 49ers are the team that Antonio Brown truly wants to go to that is the one team I wouldn't trade him to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His antics have rubbed me so raw to where I don’t want to see him in a steelers jersey. Hell of a player, but I can’t respect a man child. More so hoping that’s the route they take if they don’t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean we can speculate all we want, but none of us actually know what’s going on internally. But I’m watching an entire fan base trashing our best player based on speculation and fake news and it’s irritating tbh. I just want more facts before I start lynching the guy is all. I'm not trashing him at all. I think that regardless of the details of this latest incident that there have been tell tale signs Antonio Brown being selfish at different times. But I think that you could say that about just about any NFL player so I'm not hating on him for that. Having said that I do think that he has handled the adversity of this season as a whole rather poorly. To me that is very concerning I also believe that there is a little bit of frustration with him in regards to Juju because Juju has seen more opportunities most of this year because of the coverage that Antonio Brown has suffered. Let us not forget the Ben Roethlisberger threw the majority of his interceptions while trying to force the ball to Antonio Brown. Antonio Brown in my opinion is absolutely the best wide receiver in the league so it would absolutely suck to lose him but yes what is going on internally is the Endo Neo Brown is becoming a locker room cancer then we do need to get rid of him if that's not what's going on maybe that's not what needs to happen I will Reserve ultimate judgment on that until we know what's actually going on but ultimately who the hell knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
