Spot on Dan.
Ryan Clark been telling people for years 😂. He was always right about AB.
He wasn’t right this time because Antonio Brown informed the coaches that he was hurt that is why he did not want to go back into the game Bruce Ahrens blow this out of proportion not Antonio Brown he has never forced any of his other players to play hurt so why was so much pressure put on Antonio Brown
@@jelliottnesss u ever strip half naked when u had an argument with ur boss? So far AB has sat out a season, punched a coach, and had problems with patriots, and now this. The dude needs to sit down with a shrink.
facts tho, big facts!!!
@@ShivPatel-hy6vuHe didn’t have problems with the patriots, he had the sexual allegations going on which was what caused him to get released
@@jelliottnesss I’m calling BS on that one because they have managed to have a solid season without him playing most the games. He probably got mad when they just put someone else in and treated him like an afterthought and put him in when they felt like it not when he wanted to be in. The man has gotten enough excuses. They ain’t force him to play at any other time when he was hurt.
Getting the right type of help is the most important thing for AB
🤣🤣🤣 he was injured. Arians told him we tell u when u injured and when we want u in the game. If u not going to play then u out the game. Then, AB departed the game. 🤫 AOL sports got the full report.
he doesn't need help...he simply left the game because they were getting smoked and the moronic coaches had their best player benched?...why?because he isn't stupid enough to follow covid protocols and believes he has the choice on what to put into his body!...33
@@seanmichaluk1222 did you see how he left! Out there looking like a circus clown
Does AB want to be helped? He was on a no strike rule. He used a fake Covid card, then he was punished and given a second chance. Yesterday, he did get the ball because he was getting limited snaps, he got mad then he snapped. No player is bigger than the NFL.
@@sacodawson3348 This comment is incorrect. U made up your own narrative on a man. Best part is I know for a fact that you did not read the Ian Rappaport report on this matter.
Never seen something like this lol. For what it's worth, the Bucs managed to come back and win after AB left.
Because Tom Brady is the goat!
@@ratchet780 🐐🐐
That might have to do with that quarterback they have over there. Think his name is Tom Brady. From my new England patriots just taking a guess here
I DONT WANT ANTONIO BROWN TO PLAY AGAIN BECAUSE I AM CONCERN ABOUT HIS HEALTH. I DONT WANT HIM HAVE HEAD TRAUMA WHEN HE RETIRES. MANY PLAYERS LOST THEIR LIVES OR SUFFER FROM DANGEROUS BRAIN DAMAGES.
And they will continue. One man doesn't make a team
Lmao we actually needed Stephen A on this one he would've had a legendary rant 🤣🤣🤣
No we dont
Nope 🤨
@@stephonaugustin1384 Yes tf we do
@@JJTRS219 YES TF😐
Where bra at lol
It's great to see intelligent and compassionate commentary. I also appreciate that they did NOT try to say they KNEW the real story. Speculation is always the start of larger tragedies.
Facts
u cant be that dense brother................
The one guy said he will never play in the NFL that's not compassionate
@7ABBA7 this didn’t age well. Look at the statement released by AB today.
RC's compassion for his former teammate is wholesome. AB needs some help man.
Right! Ppls be so quick to judge Ppls stead of finding out what’s wrong. Help is much needed!
The AB movie in 10-20 years is going to be lit...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 lmao the ending gonna be tragic
The 30 for 30 next year gonna be lit too…
@@originaltroll7511 jokes aside. Nah not rly I mean isn’t he rich? Lmao?
@@HellxAngelz AB also has a NFL Super Bowl Championship.
The reality show will be out in the Fall. I've already set my DVR 😂😂😂
I've never seen anything like this ever happen before.
didn’t ask 🤡
Thats because your blind
Vontae Davis?
Neither have I. AB needs help and I can only hope he seeks it.
Spot on Dan. Never kick another man when he’s in a bad place
He put himself in a bad place
Hey youtube Robin Meade “high as a kite” talking about Antonio Brown lol
If madden doesn’t make this a rage quit animation next year I’m not playing
It's 11:50ish so I've watched almost the entire show. Dan and Ryan need their own show. I love these two together. Stephen A. needs to worry about everything else he has going on with ESPN, which is a lot. I think he should pass First Take on to them.
what happen to stephen A.?
one can hope
Your bugging
I don't think they should take over first take, but their own show isn't a bad idea.
If you pay close attention it slowly but surely is headed that way…there are great minds at Disney
Why can’t anyone say it. After the hit brown took from Vontaze Burfict he has never been the same. Period. The hit changed his life by far.
I agree. I'm usually the last person to accept excuses (esp. from millionaire diva athletes) but that hit def. screwed him up. Titus Young (who played for the Lions) had a similar situation, got laid out on a nasty hit, and he was never the same again, believe he ended up in a mental institution. Hopefully Brown gets the help before he hurts himself or someone else with his brain being scrambled.
He was punching college security guards in the face before he even made it to the league. If anything he toned it down but he’s still a problem. Ryan Clark said if the Steelers paid AB that contract extension in 2017 he would get worse and that’s exactly what happened. He knew how he was and people acted like he was hatin. The writing is on the wall but people don’t wanna read it.
He was like this since day 1 just listen to RC explain how we dumped his baby boy off with RCs wife to sleep there and have his birthdays there.
The NFL has a large interest in these media outlets. In my opinion they distance themselves from CTE because they realize doing so will keep kids enrolled in youth football and keep the sport alive for years to come. There is no cure for CTE, and no way (currently) to treat this. The sport it’s self is too violent. To the youth who are newly informed before entering the NFL they HAVE to accept the high chances for brain injuries and high potential for shortening of their lifespan.
Yes
Ryan Clark & Dan Orlovsky bromance is so good everytime
Tom Brady was class act regarding how he commented about AB!, and that is what I can appreciate from Brady! Many other people need to learn that skill from Tom Brady. Never beat a man down when he is at his weakest…remember, it could be you at any given moment. May God’s Grace be with AB and I pray he receives the help that is needed for a healthier mind , body and spirit.
Go throw a tablet
Great comment. This is exactly how everybody should be reacting but nah the worlds too cold and they call him a POS and judge him instead of hoping him the best and praying he gets the help he deserves.
@@HellxAngelz thats what humanity has come to. People pick and choose who they want to be compassionate for, and very few people are awarded that these days
After that Burfect hit, he was never the same
He literally fell in the draft partly because of character issues. Why are people acting like he ain’t have issues in college and in high school??? He has a track record and just overcame it because he’s a talented player.
might be true but that is also just an excuse, he did bad things before that.
"Monday morning therapist" is my new favorite sports saying
The chain of events from the cincy (knockout) hit to now, is crazy. I'm thinking CTE is also a factor
I really believe Burfict ruined his career and life
They can't admit that on mainstream media.
You think he hasn’t been tested for that?
After all these, you think the NFL would have him running on these fields without some kinds of assessment?
After their CTE law suits?
Come on…
@@G.G.C. You can't diagnose CTE until the person has died. That's why athletes have volunteered to donate their brains when they die. The erratic and self-destructive behavior of Brown continuously ramping up over the years especially after the Burfict hit says a lot. If he does not have CTE I will be surprised because his actions are the same as others who had it and what doctors describe as symptoms.
Ryan Clark mentioned similar behavior from AB prior to that hit
AB the football player has been enabled his whole football life cause he was so talented. AB the human being needed someone to tell him NO whether it be Tomlin, Arians or Brady
AB has been constantly rewarded for bad behavior. This is what comes when people don't experience real consequences from the time they are children. The real shame is that he was always talented...
he hasn't been rewarded for bad behavior, he's been rewarded for awesome performance on the football field. The awesome performance has made it so that some will tolerate the bad behavior. But if you want more insight into what Brady is talking about, check out Burfict's hit on AB in 2016. That was what triggered this. These guys are having compassion because it's CTE. It's long term brain damage and it can happen to any football player.
@@S0ulinth3machin3Stop making excuses. Antonio Brown was a crazy man before he even got to college. He was a bad person before the hit and after the hit. I don't blame CTE for his behavior anymore than I don't blame CTE for Aaron Hernandez's behavior.
In all seriousness, prayers go up for AB, and if it’s something very serious I hope he gets the proper help and has the proper love and people around him.
Dude a joke and will end up in jail
Amen brotha🙏🏿
@@raekwonjohnson1790 Just like you’re a sinner in need of a savior. Jesus is your answer.
seriously. he has obviously been in trouble for a while. i hope he gets the help he needs...instead of another big contract.
CTE is very serious and he should have never been allowed back to football, if he had family that actually cared about him he would have gotten real help, he already made enough money to retire
Until I hear his side I cant make a full assessment of what really happened
I'm not sure what can justify unprofessionalism
@@PurpleLighters what if you fired me on the field for not being able to go due to injury? but you didn’t fire any other receiver who got hurt.
@@statpadford he was playing and was cooking dbs idk what injury you saw
@@Emmanny ian rapaport literally said it goofy look it up
plus he was questionable before the game lol. i know this because he’s on my fantasy team
Well said RYAN CLARK!!!!!! He spoke the absolute truth today
He’s the best analyst on ESPN hands down
Horrible take by him. He cannot stand AB....it's obvious. He trying to destroy him. Wow....u gotta stay on code Ryan Clark
Can anyone explain to me why Ryan Clark brought that man child up in this situation. This rubs me the wrong way
@@jacksingleton288 he was just emphasizing there relationship.. showing how close they really are. How does this rub you the wrong way? I can tell your awkward in the real world…
wow hearing about little AB sleeping at Ryan Clark's house with his wife helping and them spending both his first two birthdays that with RC paying for one of them. This says alot about RC and where AB was at in his head. just wow
Remember AB snapped on RC a while back.
Hey youtube Robin Meade “high as a kite” talking about Antonio Brown lol
Was a great game. This only added to the excitement. I wish AB the best and hope he rights his own ship 🚢
Amen
That's all we can hope for at this point
That ship is Columbus ship searching for the new world.
I DONT WANT ANTONIO BROWN TO PLAY AGAIN BECAUSE I AM CONCERN ABOUT HIS HEALTH. I DONT WANT HIM HAVE HEAD TRAUMA WHEN HE RETIRES. MANY PLAYERS LOST THEIR LIVES OR SUFFER FROM DANGEROUS BRAIN DAMAGES.
@@Passportbros8 respect
Evans should have given AB a hug when he walked up to him, that may be what AB needed at that moment
idk when ABs heated he don’t look like a hugger lol
Lol 😂…then AB woulda still left after
Nah once a 🤡 always a 🤡
AB is a grown man, doesn't need to be treated like a child. Sure a hug can be helpful but they are in the middle of doing their job and playing a football game.
@@g7fford354 .. haha
AB walking out cost him a whole lotta money
He was cut before he walked out. He left because the coach said he was done.
@@cubswincubswinao no one on the team has said he was cut during the game.
@@anewfuture Coaches just be like next man up. They had been playing without him for most the season anyways. If it was someone else I’d give him the benefit of doubt but AB is one of the worst teammates I’ve ever seen even before this.
He will think about this million, when he live on the street as a homeless.
AB ain’t been right since Burfect knocked him out. Get him to a doctor before he hurts himself or someone else.
He’s been crazy before that
I remember that. Hard to forget. Out on his feet like a knockout punch
Definitely has CTE
Agreed, no matter what this man needs HELP
@@Anthonycheesman33 Maybe he had a little bad behavior before the hit, but look at the incidents since that hit...from 2017 onward it's been one thing right after another. Regardless of the cause he needs help. I'm not excusing what he did, it was awful. He doesn't need to play football again, but I can have some compassion for him because this began in earnest after the Burfict hit
Outside of the AB thing, Molly seem more comfortable talking without SAS
Because she knows to STFU, no disrespect but she’s meant to simply keep things on topic and then change the topic at the designated time, she isn’t there to say her views and points.
I'm glad the Bucs won that game. Them losing would've just given AB the narrative he wanted.
Hey youtube Robin Meade “high as a kite” talking about Antonio Brown lol
Ultimately you can’t control someone, he did this to himself
I hope u know the real reason now
Pray AB gets the help he needs mental health is real and he going through it let’s not bash the man let’s get em the correct help
He can get the correct help. He knows he needs it. He said it on National TV. But has yet to get it. You can’t force someone to get help if they are not willing
@@TheRealSeeJ can’t give up on him even when he thinks he has given up on himself
True... but the last place he needs to be is on a football field or in a locker room. And since he'll never play another game... maybe he can now get the help he needs.
Hey youtube Robin Meade “high as a kite” talking about Antonio Brown lol
After that nasty hit in Cincinnati, AB hasn't been right. Nobody wants to mention CTE,because it will knock the NFL brand...so instead, they attack the person. That is the real problem.
Oh he definitely has CTE. I’d be shocked if it doesn’t come out in 10-20 years. I get the NFL doesn’t want to address it but how are these football analysts not bringing it up. All they say is “I hope he gets the help he needs”.
After reading Tom Brady's comments, I went online and found a youtube video that chronicles several of Vontaze Burfict's hits. His 2016 hit on Antonio Brown was extremely violent and difficult to watch. I am not knowledgeable about CTE, but if I had received that blow on my head I would have immediately died or, minimally, would have had my brain shaken out of position and lost consciousness. There was also a second incident on October 14, 2018, in which Burfict laid an elbow to AB's helmet, which was also a violent and extremely dangerous blow, especially considering that AB was unaware of the hit that was coming to him. In both instances, it is evident that the larger player had the advantage (at least in weight, speed, direction of motion, situational awareness). You could be correct that blame is being placed on a potential victim of concussion, while not addressing the nature and cause of the behavior(s). While football, by definition, is a dangerous sport, certain aggressions should be banned from the game, and, as Tom Brady said, AB should be provided the help he might need, instead of being attacked (the latter not TB's words).
Simone Biles quits in the middle of an Olympic competition and gets praised. How is what AB did any different?
You're trying to compare one of the greatest Olympians of all time to an inconsistent problem player?
Had no idea what was going on until this video..I’m glad I heard Ryan Clark’s take first because it gave me a serious perspective on AB. GOD bless him cause he, in fact all of us need to be blessed at this point.
Even people who abuse women
@@jayjya fake news
Ryan Clark said it he was never the same after that vontaz burfict hit
I got huge respect for RC . Broke this down perfectly
Lost respect for RC for mentioning that man's child period.
EVERYONE IS SIDING WITH BRUCE WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING WHAT HAPPENED, WE NEED TO KNOW AB'S SIDE OF THE STORY BEFORE BASHING HIM AND CRITICIZING HIM
Lol facts
I’m still calling him the “Lolcow of the Week”. But the heart and care Tom Brady is willing to give, it’s incredible. AB’s situation is becoming bigger than football.
Tomlin and the Steelers Organization did the same thing
As a physician, I have to say that you cannot help people beyond a certain extent if they are not first willing to care for themselves and take ownership and responsibility for their own health and well-being. This is a great example. AB has mental health issues that in my opinion have never been fully addressed and have only been worsened by ongoing football contracts that have only served to enable his decline. I hope this is his pivotal moment in turning his life around, but based upon his history I am not optimistic.
If you are not optimistic as a “physician” then you are certainly out of your scope in this/these situations and with your assessment. 🍀
Dr Z. I hear you. Seen it over and over again in 26 years of practice. Unfortunately you know how hard mental health help is. Really we need to put mental health forward in wellness. But you are right..life your abilities..what you "world" value is takes you down this road. Then it becomes impossible for the person who needs help to seek help.
Mental health issues? Give me a break. Antonio Brown is a nutcase. Always has been. Always will be. He only cares about himself. He's not a good teammate. He's not a good person. He should never be in the NFL ever again!
No one will ever convince me that the devastating hit Burfict did to AB didn't affect, AB. Hasn't been right after that.
I think it was building g before thst, the Steelers just swept it under the rug
What Ryan said is very sad and very true.
AB hasn't been the same since Vontaze Burfict gave him that concussion in 2015. There I said it.
Everyone has said it....... isn’t even true either. Him doing this is just who he is. Hit probably jus made it worse.
It's insane how many chances this guy got and how every time he goes off the rails people are rushing to wish him the best and hoping he gets another chance to get his head right. Give me a break. People talk about how Tom Brady said all the right things - just imagine if Tom Brady himself did half the nonsense AB has done. How many of you AB apologists would offer Brady the same grace, time and time again?
I would because Tom Brady is the goat and deserves grace like we all do. I thank God my misgivings aren't broadcasted for the world to see and for armchair opinionist to dissect. I think you feel the same way.
It takes nothing to wish someone the best give some grace especially in this case
Brady would still play if he produced wins. It’d be the same
Exactly
The craziest thing too is that some people and former players think that some teams will still give him another chance in the future if he straightens up!!! Just shows that if you’re elite at something you can pretty much get away with murder in this league
BM privilege.
AB was put out on the streets by his mother at the age of 15, and he of course didn’t have his biological father in his and he couldn’t “get along” with his mother’s bf so he had to go. I think the damage of this man’s childhood has him doing these things and i hope that he can get himself together.
Stop giving him a pass. Bottom line: AB is EXTREMELY selfish. There are many who come from similar background but aren't fractionally as selfish to ruin their career.
@@michaelstringly4138 Exactly my point I’ve been making. He is a grown man that’s a millionaire. He has every opportunity to get the mental helps he needs. Far more opportunities than a normal person has but he can’t overcome his own immaturity and arrogance to seek it. Plenty of people have even offered the help and he won’t take it. At some point, folks have to hold him accountable, just like he has to hold himself accountable.
@@michaelstringly4138 Explanations aren't excuses. Two things can be true simultaneously.
Lol ok
@@michaelstringly4138 nowhere in his explanation was he condoning AB’s actions/attitude. He’s merely giving context to what his childhood was like growing up. Compound that with the brutal play of the NFL and behavioral patterns that never go addressed or worked on, and you basically have a pressure cooker ready to blow. Don’t kick a man when he’s clearly been at a low point for some time. He’s been held accountable, he was handed the consequences of his actions. Now let’s pray he gets the help he needs to better himself and the people around him.
This segment was beautiful, thanks. AB, we're all rooting for you to get mentally healthy. "Every rose has its thorn." - Poison: Open Up and Say... Ahh! (1988). No one is perfect, and AB, we don't expect you to be. But we still hope to see you on that beloved football field. Your now-former teammate, Mike Evans, man, he's just about collected his bus fare to Canton, man, but what about you, AB?
Let's stop with the mental health stuff. Antonio Brown was crazy before he even got into the NFL. He is simply a bad person. He should never be allowed in the NFL ever again!!!!
@hueofar2897 Talent alone is not enough anymore. A person's behavior and personality matters even more now.
Where is Stephen A ?
He's sick.
On holiday.
He obviously has Cte get that man help before its too.late i dont want him to end up like Hernandez
Thanks doc...lol
@Bradley Elliott or it could be he’s had cte since a child 🤷🏾♂️
@@terrenceGRN89 but people are just saying CTE without even knowing if that’s really the issue.
@@datsapaddlin6449 he’s been playing football since young …. CTE may be an issue for him
@@jaylincole6871 CTE could be an issue for the majority of the players in the league. We don’t know what his issue is but he should still not have walked out on his team. His biggest problem is he has been coddled. Ryan Clark said way back in 2017 if you pay that man that extension you are gonna have a huge problem on your hands. He was absolutely right.
Tell the whole story of how he told the coaches that he felt he wasn't healthy enough to go back in the game so B.A. told him that he's done and cut him right then and there.
Here comes the excuses 😂😂😂
Quit on his team in Pittsburgh too.
They smoothering that to keep the angle going they want. Can't wait for the, ab files grievance vs the bucks.
Where’s the CHICAGO BULLS coverage
If he has eff you money to walk off b/c he isn't happy, then more power to him. At the end of the day, only his close friends and family matter. An NFL fball team isn't a "family", it is a business.
ok but u can still sit on the sidelines and argue but once u take off that jersey and start acting up nothing that happens before justifies it
Why doesn’t the media ever discuss the bigger problem that the sport itself is dangerous and unhealthy. Ab probably has CTE would explain his actions.
Why would an injured player who didn’t practice all week go into a game?
He'd already been playing, and had several catches in this game.
Hey youtube Robin Meade “high as a kite” talking about Antonio Brown lol
Ryan Clark said this isn’t who he was, this is who he grew to be.., I’m not joking when I say this, this dude has CTE. I’m like 90% sure. People don’t just switch up like that. I hope he gets help from the NFL
Thank Burfict for that
AB was injured... he refused to go back into the game as to not reinjure himself... Bruce was trying to force him to go back into the game... he was told if he did not re-enter the game than he would be asked to leave. Its funny how the *MEDIA* twists the narrative time and time again.
Yeah, he looked really badly injured when he was ripping off his clothes and running through the end zone waving his arms around 😂😭
You just making excuses but this ain’t just media. It’s people that know him and spent years around him
So we going to give the Bucs Coaching staff a pass I see. Only because this was AB.
Steelers => Raiders => Patriots => Bucs... this guy is not a troublemaker at all !
Just hope he’s okay and we check on his mental health. These athletes are humans first
If they're in the NFL then athletes are not treated as humans first...
Hey youtube Robin Meade “high as a kite” talking about Antonio Brown lol
Man I'm tired of my community praying for bums. Pray for these hard working Father's who keep their emotions in check and never allow feelings to make us spazz out and quit everything
RC’s comments seemed a little disingenuous. You can tell there is a lot of personal tension there between the two.
Plus how that network let's him poke his chest out by standing on ab.
They had me anti ab too, but when so many vs one, gotta see why, and it takes time, but eventually ab point of view gets revealed.
How about you react to Tom Brady going 95 yards in less than 2 minutes with no timeouts and getting the game winning dime. Throwing 40 TD’s at 44 years old is absurd, Antonio Brown is dominating headlines when there is more important things to talk about with the Bucs.
TrueThatTrueThat
I mean you can’t expect that they’re not gonna talk about this he got cut from the team the last game of the season after taking his shirt of and running off the field
Silly comment. Brady beat the Jets. Brown's antics were off the charts and far more newsworthy.
I wanted Stephan a reaction to this so badly😂😂😂
I would’ve laughed so hard! Stephen A would’ve given an epic rant

@@cainbutler6291 over/under him being harder on ab vs kyrie?
When a player complains about being injured, the coaching staff should take him serious and respect his decisions.
AB said he's injured and was concern about his ankles.
He should've told them that before the game and not suited up
Injured? Is that what you meant? Also every player plays injured. All of them. He’s a grown man. Either play or don’t play. How is it you feel you know more than actual players who played the game and played with him?
@@agentcodybanx8909 yeah but the coach didn’t have to cut him think he should’ve just benched him depending on how serious AB felt about it. But if he didn’t like getting benched an just took off his gear an left then that’s on him.
@@titanmasterrace4000 the coach didn't cut him until after the fiaso. Reports say he told him he doesn't want AB there if he's not gonna play, I can see how AB probably took that literally but nobody ever gets cut in the middle of a game
@@agentcodybanx8909 he literally did get cut in the middle of the game and told to leave the sideline ab reacted like any human being would have arians could have cut him after the game or today but to do it on the sideline is pathetic
He was like this in college. Which is why he fell in the draft
He was like this in Pittsburgh, before he got paid
He was like this even more in PIttsburgh, after he got paid
Polamalu and Clark have both spoken about this in the past. Clark took a lot of heat for what he said, but the point is that he was like this, LONG before the Burfict hit.
I heard he was release before he walked off the field...that explains why he took off his Jersey and walked off...I knew it was something, I dont think any player would just walk off!
No brown refused to get into the game. The head coach said if your not gonna listen and play leave.
@@romantorres7672 supposedly AB complained about an injury an that's why he wouldnt go back in
Hey AB fans “ Blame Canada”
It worked for South Park🤣🤣
Why do we keep assuming this is mental health? It just seems like excuse after excuse. Why can’t we just call this what it is based on his actions? Selfishness and narcissism.
Exactly let’s stop trying to justify bad behavior
AB doing his Ned Braden impression.
If he isn't happy with his employer and has eff you money, then good for him. Y'all act like he personally insulted your mother or you actually care about his well being. How many thousands of employees per day walk off during their work day for one reason or another?
Burfict is to blame
RC is my "go to" guy for perspectives. Very wise man!
IDC what AB has going on. I support our brother and wish him the best. AB is a legend. Nothing can discredit the work he has put in over the years. People choose to highlight his low moments over his high points because at the end of the day, negative energy is thriving. S/O AB. We love you and we are rooting for you!!
No one has discredited his work. In fact, everyone has acknowledged it; that’s why he’s been given chance after chance.
Please🤚🏽
A legend in his own mind. If he really was an elite player, he wouldn't do this amateur stuff. He'd leave his problems off the field, and continue moving forward to get another ring. He was on the perfect team. This L is solely on him.
you cannot save people, you can only love them
I honestly feel bad, something is wrong with him. I feel like he’s going to go broke within the next 5 years
Silly thought
Unfortunately
Here's a joke, Question: Why can't Cam Newton use the phone anymore? Answer: Because he can't find the receiver.
Reports have said that he wasn’t feeling good enough to go out there. They tried to force him to play and said if he wasn’t going out there he was off the team. And so as a cut player, he decided to take off the uniform he no longer was a part of and leave the field. We all have know people who have been walked out of a job after being fired. He just walked himself out. And well, he we are. He’s not crazy.
Yeah you gotta feel like a God to play sports
@Sales English five targets before the third quarter ended wasn’t bad. And if it was incentive based, why not stay on the field. I’m going with the injury report.
Excuses Excuses ...ya he sure looked injured dancing and running out the stadium 😂
@@RF-vg5kv it’s a difference between playing sports and living it. The body does weird things that your eye can’t catch. Unless you’re a doctor with a skill so keen that you could tell from watching a highlight of a guy leaving the field the way he wanted to wasn’t injured at all.
Midway through the game yesterday Bruce Arians and the offensive staff told Antonio Brown to go into the game. They believed that he was healthy. Antonio Brown did not believe that he was healthy. He had been battling an ankle injury for the last several weeks, did not practice Thursday, did not practice Friday, and personally had some doubts whether he would be out there and play. What he told the staff from what I understand, is that he was not going into the game because in his mind he did not feel he was healthy. The response then from the offensive coaches and from Bruce Arians was: if you’re not going to go into the game when we tell you to go into the game then you cannot be here. At that point, they threw him off the sidelines and cut him from the team.” according to Jay Glazer
He didn't quit. Tell me if your job tells you your fired or don't need to be here than, you stay???
Stop it people...they will not tell the full story- And the media will never circle back to tell the truth of the entire situation. They've been waiting to throw him away...
January 2016, in a game between the Steelers and the Bengals, Vontaze Burfict hit Antonio Brown giving him a severe concussion. Everyone agrees that after that hit Brown was never the same again. What he did was wrong, what he did, harmed himself, what he did was not something to be admired, but this kind of behavior can occur after someone receives a traumatic brain injury. The really bad behavior began with Antonio Brown in 2017...he only had one bad incident before then. Not excusing him at all, but there is something deeper happening here and this man needs help. REAL help.
Great post
Mma an boxers get hit worst an they didn't quit like that excuses
Ya know what kills me...to think this man gets every opportunity in the word. But Colin Kapernick couldn't get one phone call?
How can the NFL empower the fools, but the controversial get silenced?
That part
AB has-talent far above that half white dude.
His colleagues are kind when talking about him. AB is a grown man with children….he should know how to act.
I am not condoning what A.B. did. But I think something is Definitely going on mentally with this man. He has had issues since the hit by Burfict. He needs help now, not after he's dead and it's found that he has CTE. Forget football, we're talking about a human life! I sincerely hope that A.B. gets the help that he needs.
The managers could have waited until after the game to fire him. Firing a player during a game is normal?
He quit during the Game, then released after the Game. What don't you understand!!
RC can teach lectures on everything wrong with AB
He literally hurt his ankle , and they tried to force him to come back in the game . I hate when people talk before the whole story is out
So taking your clothes off and leaving mid hame is the appropriate response?....Too much to ask him to be a professional and just sit on the bench??..a la Kawhi Leonard or Derrick Rose
When keeping it real goes wrong
I know it is not his job but tom brady has got to stop enabling AB. I mean it should have stopped after New England. Either way, forget about football, AB needs to get himself right however that maybe.
God bless AB🙏🏼♥️
Since when is SELFISHNESS a mental health issue? LOL
Antonio Brown is the kyrie irving of the NFL
Don’t compare AB to Kyrie. Kai just wants to live an Afrocentric life which is not THAT strange. He also wants bodily autonomy and the choice to not put strange substances into his body
No, Kyrie has been rob of millions by not getting an experimental substance into his body
Espn needs to be canceled. They don't care about players health.
The days of the diva wide receivers died with Terrell Owens in the late 2000’s. I don’ think true NFL fans are interested in throwbacks!!
TO never quit on his team, TO never gave anything less than full effort on every play. TO never got into trouble off the field.
TO came to Cincinnati and dominated for one year as an old man. Might of been a Diva but he walked the walk on the field.
Do you know how many people in the world, have depression or who've had shitty childhoods and just overall bad situations, who work 2 or 3 jobs to support their family who don't just up and leave their job in the middle of a shift, because if they do their child doesn't eat that week? Millions of people. ESPN I thought was a sports show, but now they are talking about mental health, not about players or former players or coaches, but now mental health in general. I'm sure they are genuine in what they are saying but, there are millions of people out there who would love to just up and leave their job and have a massive information apparatus come to their side and defend them.
"One of the greatest players to ever play the game..."
You're kidding right?
Boy you don’t know football
Hilarious to me how people still blame tomlin 😅. Even more juju and claypool , people make their own choices !!! All you can do is TRY and lead. Nobody thinks it’s funny that the Olinemen and Dlinemen never have any issues and antics but there n the same locker room ? With the same coach 🧐🙄
Ryan Clark been telling people for years . He was always right about AB.
He pulled a Paul Newman (slapshot) but stopped before the jock strap
He needs to sue Burfict for that illegal hit to the head. Clearly that concussion has messed up his head. The weird behaviour didn't really start until after that
Molly just cant figure out the right moments to interject
Didn’t they tell him to leave because he didn’t wanna play on an ankle injury??
Get a new role model bruh

Molly seems a lot less irritating this episode.
I hope Antonio Brown will be ok, We must hope he gets the life assistance we all need at times.
After hearing facts about coaching staff trying to force a competitor to play injured and making him feel invaluable… I’m not surprised at all by AB’s drastic reaction in his fragile state of mind 💯
He was cleared by the doctors, everyone plays hurt, it's part of the game. You're looking for anything to defend him obviously. This isn't common, this is the only time this has ever happened, AB is 100% in the wrong here.
If he was really injured and couldn't play then I agree with what he did the NFL doesn't care about its players
I agree with just what he did he knows his worth,the NFL has become the slave Field and Brown knows his value ,I believe he was hurt,and they was trying to force him and he said f... Y'all yall ain't fixing to cripple me.i really believe he was hurt
@@sylvestershaw337 so do i that man loved playing with brady for the low amount of money they were paying him i dont blame him i wouldnt play hurt in a meaningless game either
