Antonio Brown strips in EZ and retires mid game? Edit: and now feuding with Bucs

[SirAndrew]

Weird how anyone who exhibits negative behavior is labeled mentally ill these days. Maybe he is, maybe he isn’t. I wish him the best regardless. 

[BaaadThingsMan]

I hate the attention this is gonna get but maybe it'll distract the bucs for playoff time

He didn't. He took off the undershirt otw to the room. Had his abs all out in the sun.

Why would you think that? Did you mot see how he played in Pittsburgh?

Sometimes a jackass is just a jackass.

And driven by the police to the airport? WTF?? That's in the line of duty???

It's harder to show compassion and empathy than it is to mindlessly judge and criticize.

Difference between “negative” and “directly and consistently adverse to your own obvious best interests.”

Yes, I agree....the thin line between mental instability and being an ####### has become quite blurred. I seriously do think Brown is mentally unstable though.

True. But nobody called Vontae Davis mentally ill. They called him things like "bad teammate" but not things like mentally ill.

Watch the video. Losing interest in one's profession and walking out in the middle of a workday happens all the time. Taking off your work uniform and strutting around a crowd of 70,000 flapping your arms like an idiot is ... special.

I legitimately do not think he knows the difference between right and wrong behavior right now - he seems to be sick.

It will be a travesty if any time ever puts him on a roster again.

 

It will be a travesty if people just trash the guy and don’t seek to get him help. We don’t know what is possible at this point.

He's been a headcase for longer than that

He definitely did not have the public issues before then.  Unless that was just the Steelers keeping things quiet while they wanted him there, his real problems started after 2016 when he took that hit from Burflict.

I think the comment may be getting at this:

Did he quit in this flamboyant manner because he's a narcissist?

Or did he quit in this flamboyant manner because he has narcissistic personality disorder.

The moral judgement and the diagnosis are identical here. The only difference is the use of the active vs. the passive voice. My English teachers always favored the former. So do I.

Well quite, but I meant stop at the top half. 

[The Frankish Reich]

If we labeled this Diva Wide Receiver Disorder it would have exactly the same explanatory power as labeling it Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

See, e.g., Owens, Terrell; Brown, Chad "Ochocinco."

We may hate the rules but it's to avoid cases like A. Brown.

 

 

 

Did the defense player get hurt ramming his head into that rock?

Reminds me of Washington QB which head butted FG post and got a concussion.

[LABILLBACKER]

Hopefully this ends his embarrassing journey through the NFL.  Just go away AB.  No one cares anymore.

Why?

Tom Brady tweets something cryptic about understanding him or getting him help. Fine. But if AB is suffering from a mental illness, shouldn't they be treating him the same as a player with a physical illness? I mean, we don't cut a guy immediately after a game if he's suffering from a broken leg or cancer. If Brady thinks AB needs help and that his behavior is explained by mental illness, the correct response would be to treat it the same as any other illness. We've seen notable cases in MLB where that's exactly what was done:

I don't see any daylight between Arians' view and Brady's view. Brady is talking a good game about "getting help," but he's acting in a way that supports a coach cutting a player with huge disciplinary issues.

[Cheektowaga Chad]

Guy needs help. Wonder what set him off

How many times has a guy quit on his team mid game?  Good riddance to him, if he wasn’t such a scumbag off the field I might feel a little bad for him.  Can’t wait to see his 20/20 when he’s in prison or bankrupt.
