Take all the narcissistic behavior that we know about and understand that it's only the tip of the iceberg.  At this point I mostly hope that no innocents end up getting mortally caught up in this guy's self destruction.

Don't know who his ride was waiting out there, but if an uber or whatever I bet the driver was in for an interesting time

I don't know much about Antonio Brown but it seems he has problems much more serious than his football career. The man needs an intervention by people who care about him to save him from himself and to save those around him.

You know, I've hated Brady for a long time, but....

 

That post game press conference and the way he responded regarding AB, could hear the sadness in his voice as a guy just concerned about a friend.

 

Really, since he's joined the Bucs, been able to appreciate him a lot more in a lot of little ways. 

 

Scientists around the world are probably rubbing their hands together, frothing at the mouth to get their hands on AB's brain to study the affects of CTE...

You do realize Brown was a douchebag before the Burfict hit?

He was a problem in that locker room for years before Burfict hit him.

 

I don’t think that is correct.  I googled it and everything seems to start in 2017.  Feel free to post a link or something specific if I’m missing something.

I think the tricky thing about fame and fortune is that for every one person who genuinely wants to help you there are 20 content to be in your posse, inflate your ego, soak up the residue of the women, booze and drugs.

I know some say he may have mental issues or whatever, I don't know for sure so I can't say if he does or not...But to me it's been he's just an a-hole and attention seeking, world revolves around me issue.

 

But after this today I don't know for sure

Honestly he’s just an #######. Rumor was he got benched for a couple of downs. What he did was most likely retaliation to his benching. I see a lot of people on here saying he has mental illness or CTE, but let’s be honest he was a trouble maker before the shot he took back in Pittsburgh

There’s a lot that Tomlin was keeping hidden from the media. Both Brown and Bell were reportedly  locker room headcases to deal with

True, it just seems it’s gotten worse and worse since then..

Yeah I agree...and I'm not saying he doesn't have mental issues....just saying imo it's more an a-hole, I'm going to do what I want, attention thing.

It was that damn Helmet in Oakland, nobody would listen to him..

Do the two things have to be mutually exclusive?  Doesn't his "trouble maker" behavior support a history of mental illness, or vice versa?

 

No one here knows a damned thing about his situation, ultimately.

 

I think there is more than enough evidence to suggest some degree of mental illness, however.

 

How one would skip past that and assume anything else is beyond me.

While I’m sure Brown wasn’t a choir boy, but I find it difficult to believe that the kind of stuff that was happening before the 2016 hit was as bad as the stuff after it.  Mainly that’s because starting in 2017 things we’re getting public.  I also believe his teammates who have talked about how he was never the same after the hit.

 

I am not saying that he was ever a great guy or that he doesn’t bear responsibility for his actions.  But brain trauma does have lasting impact.  Also the whole situation does not reflect well in teams that have brought him onboard since.  He’s clearly got mental issues.  Teams don’t seem to have a problem bringing him on as cheap talent with no worry about what one more hit would do to him.

Bucs were intentionally limiting his snaps to avoid paying incentive bonuses allegedly

Yup, sure looks that way.. it really started with Steelers where he had the most success. I mean I would think if a franchise like Steelers can no longer put up with you, then that tells you (or should tell you) keep away from him. I'm really surprised how many chances he has gotten.

 

I was 100% not on board when Beane attempted to sign him...desperately wanted to go a different route. Thankfully it worked out

Well, Bruce Arians is claiming he twice tried to get AB back into the game and AB refused. So, in a test of credibility there... who is less credible? Clearly AB. Also, in limited snaps he could have gotten 55 yards between this game and the next quite easily, and 8 receptions very realistic as well.

If that's true, that's a huge strike against the Bucs in recruiting Free Agents from here on out....

Exactly...was about to say it wouldn't make sense if it's true Arians wanted him in the game
