Please keep this group together for as long as possible.
I agree
Seriously 🔥💯
Yep shout out to Kevin Wilds he’s gotten a lot better and the Addition of Broussard is perfect 👏🏾👏🏾
Wilds is legitimately talented on TV. Lame jokes aren't easy 😂
3 very solid takes on it
I love how Wildes went about this take. In a 24/7 news and media cycle, it's easy to get caught up in having the right opinion right away, and I think him reminding himself (and us) to take a moment, slow down, and put kindness first, we can have the most accurate and grounded thought that can produce the most good. Well done, KW
Yeah totally agree
I completely agree because we do not know who is right right now and we are just lambasting Antonio Brown
is this copium
Nah, it was a bit self-righteous.
Love em
“Fancy words…
Mock Wildes”
Truly extraordinary Nick
I am amazed at how much I genuinely enjoy watching these guys talk sports. The chemistry is unbeat. Usually mainstream sports media isn't my cup of tea but these guys are IT!!! Love it. "Fancy Words, Mock Wildes" hysterical!!
Clown show
@@howdareyougiveup8653 it is but their good at what they do. Nick is so in love with Lebron and chiefs is too funny
Fake intellects
7:49 Man, I just love the way Wildes laughs. It's so contagious, lol.
Fancy words mocks wilds!😂
Four teams, four AB meltdowns. But it's everybody else's fault.
He didn’t have a meltdown with the Pats lmao they released him when that girl lied on him about painting that mutual of him. The Raiders was planned and orchestrated by his agent because AB was traded there when he wanted Pitt to trade him to Ne or just release him.
You missing the point I think he really needs help and people too judgmental to see what's going on n mental health is something that's often dismissed in my community
@@yaboizae
I agree, he probably does need help. But unlike the majority of people who suffer with mental health issues, he can afford the very best treatment. All he had to do is go get it.
@@bossblck6399
So what you're saying is that it's everybody else's fault. That sounds familiar, I wish I had said that.
Don't go away mad, AB. Just go away.
Bruce Arians ....1. Sent Gronk back in the game with broken ribs ! 2. Had Godwin running sprints on sideline with torn ACL! 3. Had Fournette running routes After his injury led to IR! 4. Had Tom Brady play on an unreported MCL tear LY! 5. Winston played w a torn meniscus & fractured thumb
Where’s the heat for the Coach Now😒😒😒😒😒
There has to be way more behind the story, a coach having that kind of attitude when a player saying he’s injured seems extreme, and then AB’s reaction is extremely outrageous. No way it’s that simple , more needs to come out! Where is any video footage of their exchange on the sideline when there are literally thousands of media and personal cell phone cameras!
Call about Bible study lol love there chemistry
Mad props to Mike Tomlin who dealt with 7 years of his shenanigans
It’s called being an enabler..lol!
AB is like that super fine, hot chick who's full of drama. People tell you she's single for a reason, but you take that chance.
Things are great for awhile but then some craziness happens and your only option is to cut her loose lol.
Those text look fake asf 😂 "this is BA"
Watch nick change his tune when AB signs with KC..
Won't happen...
I hope Julio signs with kc next season
You are smoked out if you think KC will sign that bum
Chiefs dont need him
That is funny 😄
Obviously they didn’t read the text from BA to AB… Bruce says if you are fully able to play then you can play to AB… AB says I’ll be ready… signaling the he is able to play
You do know… and please listen. Practice time and game time are two different things? Yes he said he was ready but then he played and felt immense pain and that’s when he wanted out. Once we see the MRI tests if they ever come out we’ll see who was lying AB or BA.
@@Dude-tb8ry if he was in so much pain then why the jumping jacks and smiles while running off the field???
@@jakecivis7402 did you read where he said they had him on some very strong painkillers? Even then jogging and doing literally 2-3 jumping jacks isn’t the same as in game football time making sharp cuts and putting pressure on that ankle and getting tackled.
@@Dude-tb8ry I think it's simple. AB was cleared to play and AB wanted to play. At some point there was an issue that AB was upset about his amount of targets, and whether he was in pain or not or even expressed that to his coach or not is irrelevant. All he needed to do was go back in and lay down on the feild. Trainers would have come out and taken him off. Simple. This time of year everyone is hurting, but if you've been cleared to play, you suit up and play.
@@jeffsullivan4150 that's a complet BS way of looking at it. Just because you're ready to go before the game, playing on it makes it worse. Mid game it could have been hit or tweaked. You can be 100% healthy and not finish a game because of an unexpected injury. You don't have to play if once you get on the field you dont feel comfortable playing or protecting yourself.
Bruce and Tom shouldn't be mad...they got their ring.
Fix your mentality
I love how as soon as Nick spoke, he was sounded like he was IMMEDIATELY calling bs lmao 😆😂
Why ppl acting like they didn’t win a super bowl with AB?
One could argue that one singular TD could have been caught by 7 other receivers, I don't think AB was the driving force of them going to the Super Bowl. Thats stud defense and Brady had more to do with it.
Tom won 6 without AB😂 Tom is fine
AB was not the main factor or even a significant factor in why the Bucs won the SB last year. The Bucs won due to Tom Brady and a strong defense if you take AB off the team last year they still would have won the SB.
@@Cookiesrfood he scored a td. Ofc he’s was a factor just not the main
Game was never game to begin with and finished 31-9 . Brown or not Brown the result would have been the same.
Nick and Broussard are some of the best analysts in the game
I think its deeper than the ankle injury story. AB didnt look injured doing jumping jacks a running off the field.
I broke my leg once (extreme example but whatever)
I was able to walk, jog and lightly jump, so yes I was able to do jumping jacks without looking injured. But I was still like months away from playing sports at a recreational level
They gave him a pain killer shot soo he can play..
AB was aware of his injury though and made a scene about it. you would think he would take every precaution possible if that was the case. jumping and running on adrenaline or painkillers due to an ankle injury is not a very smart thing to do if thats what youre bitching about. 🤷🏽♂️
In game injury or re injure during the game is what B.A is talking about not knowing due to the fact AB did not got to the trainer about any of this
AB thinks he's somehow saving his career by drastically losing more and more money and being hated more and more...interesting strategy...from $17 million per year to $1 million and dwindling...crazy.
Either way making more then you…crazy.
Thank you Wiles !! Be kind !
Broussard gives the best takes
AB will definitely get another shot in the NFL his talent will get him another chance, but the Bucs training staff needs to be looked into I really do believe they value winning over a players health, Chris Godwin was out there jogging on a torn ACL before they decided it was something seriously wrong with him…
They'll gave them a painkiller that not even allowed to be used NFL.
Antonio even said they gave him an injection of numbing pain that's how he was able to jog and hop across field.
Not a chance he plays in the NFL again, his last TWO chances were purely down to Brady...
I dont think he will get another shot.
Yea a professional organization that has had a grand total of 1 guy complaining (who is a nut case) should mean the entire training staff should be looked into lol
Never
In all fairness to AB, we are living through the great resignation.
Tough Nick to balance the show out 😂🙂
I don't care about the Bucs, Brown, Brady or Arians, but this is the topic of the day. Everyone is focusing on Brown, but I just saw Arians in a presser, straight tell the reporter that he told Brown, "You're done, get the eff outta here". AB did just that in a AB/NYC way hahahaha
Facts, Everyone is talking about AB’s exit, how about getting cut in the middle of the game maybe BA need a therapist to
This is on the coach.
Coach didn’t deny knowing about the injury. AB was cleared to play , so if I understood correctly. BA said AB was clearly in the injury report but he participated on Saturdays walkthrough and cleared to play. Sunday AB played first half just fine, when he was asked to play he refused but didn’t reference the ankle injury so that’s why coach said , he was not notified that he didn’t want to play due to his ankle but seemed more to be because AB was acting up.
He should went to the medical staff and told them as soon he was having a lot of pain. Respect goes both ways and the trajectory of AB is not being the greatest
If AB refused to go in why wouldn’t BA asK him why? Or what’s wrong? Any good coach, manager, supervisor would ask a follow up question. ONLY “you’re done, get the F&ck out of here”
People wanna focus on Antonio Brown instead of the fact that the buccaneers r trying to cover this up and it’s OBVIOUS!
That’s why they finally released him
Bruce Arians just got caught lying lmao.
WERE IS THE MIC'ED UP AUDIO.... RELEASE IT !!!!
I like Wildes take, I think it’s the most accurate and reasonable.
I also like when he mentioned Brandon, Jenna gave him a little EHHEEMNM to let him know to not go there lol
It's almost playoff and they can't stop discussing ab and his madness, shows why ab acts the way he does
Lol it’s the talk of the town what do expect. And anyways there’s no games going on rn . What do you want them to talk about lol
There’s plenty to talk about but these clowns aren’t objective . Just hate on a man who has done nothing personal to them . First they said Mental now they saying even with facts like his fractured bones , that they don’t believe him lol ask the doctors then .
@@howdareyougiveup8653 nobody believes AB lol . His history shows he can’t be trusted . 1 man 4 teams … there’s a common denominator lol… it’s AB. Not saying he’s not telling the truth , cause he could be . But it’s a fact that his word can’t be trusted 🤷🏻♂️ so we will have to wait and see
@@jonnyrocker7 yea if your hater of a man. You want . Find a real reason to hate . I’m sure you don’t work at your first job does that mean your not trustworthy. SO MANY HATERS DONT wanna see a man get money . It’s not your money. I bet you hate on others too
@@howdareyougiveup8653 lmao cry about it on twitter
If AB posted his routing and account number. He has no one to blame if he wakes up tomorrow with a overdrafted account. How stupid could a person really be?
Look.... The injury thing... Everyone knows you can indeed lose your job to injury in the NFL. There's extremely high incentive to go back in. They don't need to force you to play. Imo, BA not saying that he wasn't aware of ANY injury, but any new injuries. I think BA point was that AB injury seems to get better/worse dependent on things like AB mood, playing time, receptions, salary. Rather than normal things that would aggravate an injury in both AB's world AND the real word.
Bruce didn't like him in Pittsburgh Brady was the only reason he was there. I'm sure Bruce played it that way 🤣🤣🤣
Man I kinda agree with you. I said if Brady wasn’t in the huddle. He could of handled AB but nope. He was on the field saw AB walking off, got mad. Told whoever was his replacement to come in AND rest is history in 2 minutes 93 game wining drive to show AB. It’s about the team and not you
I felt bad for AB until he released this statement . It feels like trying to save a poisonous snake and getting bit while you are trying to feed it
Nick Wright for the win
Nic has no talent. He’s a fake intellect with notes lol . I left the K out on purpose
Antonio and Fox giving free ad time for Apple’s Airpods max!! 😂😂
This is very simple. Show a time stamped MRI.
I am very sad that we did not get to see KW's reaction to Nick's sign.
@chrisbroussard Chris Wright says some very good things, but the greatest by far was the Proverbs scripture verse he quoted. Keep rubbing off on them Bru!!! WeNeedJesus
Jesus had 9 toes
I like Wildes' take. It's clearly a breakdown, provoked or not, and it's not anyone's place to diagnose. But it's also negligent to not talk talk about CTE and how it clearly has an effect on pro football players constantly. Whether that's the case here, not sure, but this very real condition keeps getting swept under the rug.
prove it
AB symptoms are out of the ordinary , to say the least !
Coach shoulda been professional if he wanted him to be professional
Pls give us 1080p quality. It's 2022.
His "ankle injury" didn't look that bad when He was doing jumping Jacks in the endzone and running off of the field.
To be fair, there is a world of difference between light jogging and running full clip down the field and getting tackled by NFL safeties.
@@I34VVI3U5 but there is no difference in him having an issue and leaving on bad terms with every team he has been on. You catch my drift.
Love that Wildes you show Nick the way. You are awesome and a gentleman Go Chiefs
Who else fast forwards through Wilde’s takes every vid lol
I don’t wanna see any of you scoundrels in the comments hate on Wildes anymore
Grown men exposing privates texts is just weird
Has anyone noticed their initials together spells ABBA?
Which is surprisingly apt?
Wildes is the best
BA said he did not know about AB ankle injury had worsened in the 3rd quarter of the game, of course he knew about the injury from previous. Protocol was to go to a trainer if a player does not feel right ( injured ) which AB did not do.
When Nick pulls out his Bible u know it’s real serious 😂
I mean, you don't have to like AB but if the man had an ankle injury and the coach knew, why would they want him to play?
This is probably the first time I have ever agreed with Nick Wright.
Actually the opposite for me. I usually agree with him, or at least find the different perspective his takes bring interesting, but here I think he’s pretty biased the minute we bring AB or kyrie in the discussion.
@@jeremiehudon5649 why should anyone take ab at his word tho? Hes a known liar who burned every bridge hes crossed, but ab apologists/fanboys will defend him nomatter howmany times he self-destructs
Nick is still crying about the Buc's beat down of the Chiefs in the Super Bowl .
These four are terrific together. And even though I think AB is a complete idiot who deserves to be ignored , respect to Wildes take.
Why would he be ignored when he’s a HOF talent and all media platforms make the biggest money talking about him
@@JoeMama-ly1kc why ??because you don’t quit in life my dude. He quit on his himself his team and ppl who love him. As you said HOF for sure but he won’t make it because of all of this.
@@JoeMama-ly1kc the way he did Brady was so back stabbing. I let you move in eat my food. I’ll help you get back on your feet then this is how you pay me back when I mostly needed you in playoffs with Chris Godwin out. Brady will vote NO for his HOF career
@@JoeMama-ly1kc AB is easy to pick on, but the way BA mishandled this n lying about it tells u what was going on behind the scenes.
Why did he only ask for 1/2 the money back if no work was done? That was nice lol
Cause hes probably exaggerating the whole thing, the trainer worked on him but probably didnt finish
@@o.gparamount3099 Right. And the trainer was probably like let's just be done with this.
This show is really so good
Yea if you like clowns
@@howdareyougiveup8653 lmao
There should be no more wrong with discussing AB’s mental health anymore than there should be issues discussing AB’s physical health. If media shouldn’t be discussing one, they shouldn’t be discussing the other. The reciprocal is true, too.
Who needs what should be left to the professionals. Keep the focus solely on yourself in these matters.
AB the consummate "its not my fault" guy.
AB didn't quit.. He had the twisties
gold
despite the economic crisis i still think this is a right time to start up an investment
I wanted to trade Crypto but got discouraged by the fluctuations in price
I got Mr Steven Hatzakis info. How good is his ?
Leave Antonio alone 👈🏼
wtf is alex guerro charging 100k for??
A.B was at a game the next day
I love how Nick Wright just called Chris Brussard on his Faith like it's a joke is that was not even cool
Shut up
@@Steeler7Girl how can you tell me to shut up if you don’t like what I have to say do whatever you like
So where this video of the throat slash
With mr big chests fake vax card
Fancy words, Mock Wildes… 😂
WORDS HAVE CONSEQUENCES, YOU CAN'T SAY CERTAIN THINGS TO CERTAIN PEOPLE!!
There is nothing to be ashamed of by getting help. I’m not bashing AB. In fact, I am really upset to hear 1 story from BA one day, just to have him change his story later.
Either get help or stay off social media
Can’t say Bruce got equity especially after pop and kawhi and Spurs situation. Don’t mean that because of ur longevity u can’t be mistaken 😐
How is he doing it to Bruce if he really was injured
Never did he say he was too injured to play, but then again he was so close to the 1million$ incentives.
Jumping Jacks in the endzone. Apparently you missed that piece of evidence.
@@akui88 he said so in a text back and forth with Bruce arians
the problem is how he handled the situation...not that the injury exists.
Man I like Nick. And Brousard.
Fake intellect with nothing on those papers and notes . Nick and Cris B
too late, after that tantrum he has no defense.
Ppl have different ways. Of dealing with anger. Not saying that its right.
Well done Wildes.
Everything Nick said would be completely different had AB been on the Chiefs and it was Pat Mahomes who was working with him.
Yep.
you are so right , Nick hates Tom Brady and every team but the Chiefs .Bucky Brooks is the same way
People keep saying " AB was running off the field ",,,,, but AB address that as being different than the intensity you exert going all out ,,,,, I believe that as an athlete myself and professional stunt man ,,,, or in other words ,,, do you remember when Kevin Durant had an injury but he was still running and shooting in half intensity off the court or games, but when he got in the real intense game, he re-injured his angle for over a year then he went to the Nets,,, look at Clay Thompson for the warriors,,,, he can run and shoot and walk well for a year now out of an intense game ,, but Steve kerr is smart enough to not put him in an actually all out intense game for the same past year , until he is 100% ,,,, however, if I look at Clay , I can't say 9 months ago or 3 months ago , " he is obviously okay and good to play because he jogged off the field or court ",,,,, thats very much two different things ,,,, I worked on a movie in 2010 in New York called. " Tower heist " as a stuntman ,,,, I read the script before the movie started with an injury to my right foot from playing intense basketball at venice beach just months before , ,,,, I could walk and in the gym I could run on a treadmill in my own way that I looked 100% if you saw me ,,, but I was concerned in the movie that the script might have a scene where I had to run intensely fast and all out ,,,, I never had to run but only fight and be in air on a wire coming down the " Tower " ,,, or in fast car driving scene ,, but nothing in the script required me to run and I was glad because I might have had to pass in the whole movie especially in movies because they want " take one, take two , take three , etc,,, intensity over and over like football require that sane run moore than once in a game for sure ,,,,, so why do these non athletes keep saying " but that doesn't explain Ab was jogging of the field ?,,,,, He explained that in the letter and I believe that from experience ,,,,jogging at your own chosen pace , etc ,,, is totally different that running all out with a defender on you or doing intense routes while someone is guarding the cuts and random turns needed to lose that defender ,,,,, ask Bo Jackson what the difference is after a run in the game ended his entire career ,,,,, in other words , if AB would have walked off the field instead of jogged , after the coach told him to " get out here " ,,,, AB makes total sense ,,, but he jogged off and every is stuck on that ,,,, I wondered why the coach said , AB I not a BUC anymore , now let's talk about the guys who won the game ,,, ",, meaning ," don't ask any details that I have to answer ,,,, in other words the coach wouldn't be answering to these recent text if AB or his lawyer would not gave released more details and text that is making sense ,,,,,also even the coach admitted that he told AB to " get out of here ,you are done ",,, AB leaves the field and the coach and everyone keeps acting like AB just left
I'm not a doctor BUT I've got bad ankles and I couldn't run across the end zone like he did with bad ankles. HMMMM
Are you a professional athlete with 3% body fat in top shape?
is every ankle injury the same? did you get numbing shots? you have bad ankles, he has good ankles and one got injured.
@@boricuafrican1 if I could run and jump like that I DIDN'T have a bad ankle that would have let teammates down how's that
@@bobbeckhart1707 why you're making this about you is weird...he's an elite athlete who was on pain medication...you're, well, you're not that.
@@boricuafrican1 you responded if you don't like it walk. I was raised in a different era one I don't expect you to understand
Love the analysis by everyone, but why do Nick and Chris need to speak so loudly ( like they're talking over a jet engine!)😬
Nick the proverbs is not literal !!
I love how Nick can tear into AB for not acting injured when we all know a sprained thumb would have Nick wright whining for empathy.. not everyone is built like that and many people ignore their injuries... Would you have preferred he all of a sudden start limping off the field ??? 😂😂😂
"He expects to be taken seriously"
Love him or hate him he's 'seriously' a professional athlete and you only have a job because of people like him. But ya let's act like their injuries aren't a big deal while we manicure our hair and put a suit on everyday... 😂💀
I would legitimately slap Nick and call him every name in the book if I were to see him in person.. not in ABs defense, but every single athlete that has dealt with his high pitched scrutiny lmao 😂
There's a difference between denying and lying. There was once a time when a lie caused one's credibility to be questioned. I guess that doesn't apply when you call lying denying. Hmmm, really!?!
I'm sure Bruce and Tom does not care as much as you people do
They already had their mind made up before both sides came out especially nick
Unless it's the chiefs nick Wright could care less
Super Bowl LVI Cincinnati Bengals vs Green Bay Packers (Book it?)
We must admit it. Without AB, life would be boring during these times of sickness and deaths during this pandemic 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣!
Loss of cartilage = arthritis. Causes- Excessive activity, overuse, injury, weight and improper alignment. Middle age wear and tear.
you know, in my experience in life, i have come to realize there are very few innocent victims in life. Because of AB's antics the Bucs got a number 1 receiver for pennies on the dollar. There's little doubt in my mind Antonio Brown wanted nothing more than to get back to being that guy and being rewarded accordingly. Its a little hard to think AB blew up for no reason at all, he seems like he's lacking in skills to talk things out and lets things fester until it gets the best of him and he lashes out. AB's lack of certain skills will probably result in him looking like the bad guy every time. I'm not so sure this was a good guy / bad guy situation, maybe each party didn't put themselves in each others shoes. AB could have been thinking, despite getting a meager salary i'm out here doing the best i can on an injured angle and BA could have been thinking i gave you shot when no one else would and you can't run a couple of routes when we're down in this game
Ab is cluster-B, that’s his new name
