I cracked up when the dude’s reference point for “quality writing and grammar” is “R.L. Stine”. As in, the dude who wrote the Goosebumps series. Not that Stine isn’t a good writer or doesn’t use proper grammar, but that’s the first person that popped into their mind when they thought “writer”
stop being a s1s1
I seriously thought something similar...like whats so special about RL Stein besides Goosebumps?😅
😂😂😂
Its a running joke on the show lol
I too howled at this moment lmao
Check this out. Someone reporting news with facts and transparency and not biased opinions. Great job Pat Mcafee and the boys!
That man tweeted "super gremlin" after leaving the game. No way in heaven or hell he wrote that himself.
Either way he told the person who wrote it
@@Iamkai13 in those exact words…😂😂😂
The text messages that have since been released prove it. 10 sentences strung together in one paragraph, with zero punctuation & misspellings.
what u think ppl got managers, lawyers or a PR rep for?!?!

He has been inspired by the Aaron Rodgers Book Club lol
Bucs released him after NFL said they were not going to discipline AB
The Bucs don’t even have beef with AB they seem shocked at how he’s been acting 😂. The dudes making up stories while showing text that make it look like the guys he bad mouthing are actually not the bad guys 😅. His lawyer has to be punchin the air rn because all Bruce says if you can play we’d like to have you on the field. He said it was his choice.
They released him....after they knew he had to have surgery...... they could have released him on sunday.....why wait four days?
@@sugarz005 so noone else could grab him up. . bucs didnt wanna run into him in the playoffs
@@datsapaddlin6449 idk how he made the team look like the good guys in that scenario, on any level...
@@sugarz005 did you not pay attention? they tried sending him to another doctor, someone shittier... to get a second opinion and then since he went to the first one they suggested, he said nah. the team was just holding him hostage these last few days.
Fun fact: That comma coming before the "and" is called the "oxford comma". I myself am a proponent of using it.
Yup most unused thing in American English.
Bro everybody uses that and still nobody believes AB knows how hahahahaha I don’t think he does either thou lol
It’s the best comma for sure
I mos def utilize it.
I had been using it until college when I was told to no longer do it
The irony of AB finally paying someone and feeling cheated
LMAO
CRYING
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Paahahhaa
Best comment here.
We cannot speculate or reculate but we should investigate and interrogate
For sure. And the media should make a bigger deal about BA originally refusing to answer questions. That’s supposed to be the leader of that team and be held more accountable than everyone there. When players do that kind of thing it’s always a huge story.

He’s a perfect Cowboys player, if they’ll sign Greg Hardy they’ll sign this guy when Gallup leaves next year. AB is a 20m player playing for 2m, jerry Jones will always take the risk
That’s if they don’t resign him the injuries might impact his contract making a resign potential

Pat really keeps things real and non biased. I really respect this show
Hey coach my ankle is broke, I didn't get enough targets in the first half
Would love to hear AB complaining about his targets. If he wasn't sure he was healthy enough to play why would he complain about not getting the ball? He put his head down and still suited up even tho he knew he wasn't healthy.
Well remember, they shot him up with extreme pain killers before the game. And they only last a few minutes. Once the medicine wore off, don’t you think the pain was extreme after bursting routes the first half?

@@jonahrowry6109 exactly what I was gonna say lol
@@jonahrowry6109AB is justified leaving that game. He's hurt. If BA cared for his players he would've understood that. And the fact that he knew he was injured but said he didn't is concerning.

@@jonahrowry6109 BA told him to get out because he didn’t wanna play due to wanting more targets. If AB just left low key this story would be less drama.
As a law student, reading “no reasonable notice” coupled with the rest of the outstanding grammar almost proves this was written by a lawyer; however, that’s not to say it wasn’t actually AB’s message
Who cares who wrote it ..yall think black folk are illiterate?
@@legion24100 people are just saying it's a bit weird to have someone draft something for you using completely different syntax and grammar... but it doesn't change the fact that you said all the things that were typed. what does that have to do with being black?

I wouldn't call it "outstanding language," more like "legal frill work." Attorneys are not Shakespeare.
@legion24100 As a "Person of Color," I reject that notion "unequivocally." (Are we allowed to use that word?)

If this was an isolated incident, and you can reasonably treat it that way, then AB makes perfect sense. I didn't even hate the "take this job and shove it" stage left exit. Best thing since "that was a disgusting act by Randy Moss." 😂

@@Sean-ri6bq tbf, kind of a weird coincidence that it just happens to be AB who kicked someone in the face on the field. He certainly seems like one of the players that would be most likely to do it intentionally.
Well since this is the 4th or 5th outburst he’s had on different teams, surely AB is not at fault here whatsoever.
that is terrible logic. Just because his past makes it likely he is at fault, it is not a guarantee. Really bad logic there.
So tell us what good logic is?
Bruce Arians admitted the texts were real so wtf you talking about? That give Arians coward ass the right to lie?..thats silly af
AB never left a game like that AB always gave his full on the field. On the field and off the field two different sides two different things
Off the field? Haha
It's a professional statement probably written by a lawyer so you come off clear and concise when your responding to the media. Most people do this, including politicians, CEOs, Professional Athletes and other celebrities....it's pretty normal.
Yeah I’m not trying to read the janky ass version that AB would’ve written himself lol
Thanks captain obvious all the people under 10 really appreciated that
Yeah. …normal.
Really good statement, then you remember what happened and that he did jumping Jack's off the field.
I just wish Mike Evans was Mic'd up for this game due to he and Brown mostly sitting on the same bench as well as when he was trying to talk to AB
Unfortunately even if he was Mic’d up they would never release the audio of evans talking to AB right before he took his pads off

LMAO top comment easily
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm not a Bucs fan. I'm not an AB fan. But who in their right mind thinks that Arians would ever do a throat slash gesture on the damn sideline to a player and cut him right there on the spot for saying he's hurt? Does that line up with anything we've ever seen from this coach in how many decades?? As opposed to AB, who has been known to stretch the truth (I'm being civil) and has been the cause of his own drama how many times now?
"This is RL Stine level..."😂😂😂😂the first author that pops in your head is a children's horror writer?!? I love this show!😂😂😂😂👍👍👍
I would had given AB the benefit of the doubt but damn it's difficult to do so over and over again the dude has extensive history of controversy.
" they threw me out like an animal "
- cuts to AB jogging off the field...
" he's taking a dance class, Tom "
Bruce Arians just addressed what happened on video. Bruce's version seems to have more credibility seeing that AB in the past did the same thing in Pittsburg.
AB always been right tho with every situation he’s had
Total BS. He was shuffling and running in the end zone as he left the field. Zero limp. He wasn't hurt.
You're confused with full speed, cutting sharp angles with cleats to him casually jogging..that's 2 different things.
packers need to sign this man. he might quit after the first drive, but hopefully he will get a touchdown on that drive
No. Please God no.
I'd love that. Adams, brown, lazzard, and scantling???
That’d be an all time stupid decision
@@mr.doctorcaptain1124 🤦🏻♂️
They're shooting his ankle up with tortiural before the game that should only last for about a 1/2 and then you're in pain....
The team was giving his ankle the shot so there's no question they knew what was going on..
BA is claiming that he didn't know AB was not going in because of his ankle. He claims that AB said it was about targets. He knew that AB was hurt just not that he wasn't going in because of the injury. If BA is telling the truth, then AB is assuming that people can magically read minds, or is claiming that he said that he was injured in that moment. Either way one is misleading if not lying in those claims. I'd bet on AB lying because of his track record with misleading ppl (fake vax, general attitude with steelers and raiders), but we won't know for sure until audio comes out from that convo.
And it all went down in the 3rd quarter too. A lot of the timing fits.
@@legit1913 see you’d get AB is lying because of he’s track record but you don’t think a coach is smart enough to realise when he’s got found out for lying and saying he didn’t know he was injured but he knows if he says it’s about targets he knows everyone will believe him over AB
@@TK_111 As outrageous some of AB's actions have been and as much that has had a negative impact on his credibilty, I have no problem believing that a NFL coach doesn't care for the health of his players.
@@TK_111 found out for lying? I’m pretty sure BA was aware one of his top player missed 1/2 the season lmao. People are twisting other people’s words trying to create narratives. Like I said in a different thread, even if AB isn’t lying at all, which is doubtful (I think both are lying to some degree), AB, a grown ass man, handled the situation childishly. He never alerted medical staff, which is typically something you do when you are in pain and don’t plan to go back in the game, and then he made a childish exit (he could’ve just walked out). Either way no one knows for sure what happened so idk how people are choosing one side another rn. But hey this situation will have no effect on my life or probably anyone talking about it so ima leave this thread here. Have a good day
Ab did this same thing with Pittsburgh. He threw a ball at Ben, then said Tomlin yelled at him, "WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU!?" he had an injury they knew about, he allegedly cried out to tomlin, I put my life on the line this is how you treat me, and the media is twisting the story.
He said all this to LeBron James show in what, '18, 2018.
Dudes a clown. Shouldn’t be picked up by another team. Or I guess we can have him go to 32 teams in the league. Have him collect them all

If only his ankle was good enough to crip walk out of there.
I don't know which side of the story to believe, but I still think its a little odd that he was medically cleared for the game, didn't seek medical attention on the side line, then just told the coaches he was too hurt to go back in the game. After the spat with the coach he rips off his pads, runs, jogs, and does jumping jacks in the end zone, thus undermining his claim that his ankle was extremely painful and injured. I'm not saying that he wasn't too hurt to play in an NFL game (different from jogging and doing jumping jacks), but it just looks bad for his case that he was too injured to play.
Sounds like he used his ankle as an excuse to leave the game
This is spot on. It dosent make sense to say his ankle is hurt but he's doing jumping jacks in the end zone.
Even if he didn't write it, he approved it. so its his message either way
It’s his agent - who gets 3% of his earnings - trying desperately to save his career.
If he never plays again, 3% of nothing is nothing. If he makes another $10m before he retires, that’s up to $300k for the agent.
The agent is scrambling grasping at straws, trying to bring in another $300k for himself before AB is all done.
Thank you @frank
@@steveknick1978 his attorney wrote it bro lol, Schefter even pointed that out when he released the statement
Frank, we live in a society where facts and evidence no longer matter. Things like if someone wrote something for you, and you approve it. That's what makes someone the guilty party. I bet AB is at fault, but unlike the clowns in the comment section I will wait for more facts to come out...

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have terminated the contract of Antonio Brown, effective immediately," the team said, via Twitter. "While Antonio did receive treatment on his ankle and was listed on the injury report the week leading up to last Sunday's game, he was cleared to play by our medical team prior to the start of the game and at no point during the game did he indicate to our medical personnel that he could not play. We have attempted, multiple times throughout this week, to schedule an evaluation by an outside orthopedic specialist, yet Antonio has not complied. Maintaining the health and wellness of our players is of the utmost importance to our organization. - Via CBS News
Sorry but the Bucs are wrong. Coach BA denied knowing about his injury then then comes back around and says they did know but the teams doctors cleared him (as if they couldn’t have falsely cleared a star player that they need) and he refused to play. That sums it up right there. The fact everyone made it about targets and that 1M dollars in incentives is crazy. That man is still rich af don’t get it twisted.
Ba denied knowledge of the injury on the sidelines during the game. If I recall ab missed quite a few games due to the ankle. It was well documented. Of course ba knew but he wasn’t aware that was the reason ab refused to play
I'm leaning towards AB on this one. Stripping/Storming off the field because you weren't getting touches is a new level of lunacy, even for him.
Stripping/Storming off the field because the HC didn't believe you were as hurt as you said you were, and then threatened your job is 100% plausible for AB.
I'm about 100% sure he forgot there was a week 18 at this point.
But AB has done this type of stuff for EVERY team he has played for... He's gotten chance after chance and he keeps screwing it up.. Its always someone else's fault according to AB. If he really believes that Bruce was trying to get him hurt, then let the NFLPA and his own lawyers deal with it... dont act like a 5 year old when you cant get the new action figure at the toy store and throw a tantrum.

@@Juhbanks Real PhD
This is my first time hearing AB’s side of the story. If that’s true, it’s a horrible look on Arians and the Bucs.
If the Bucs side of the story is true, I think we’ll have evidence in the next few weeks. Sideline mics, etc. If AB’s story is correct, any evidence will be kept away and this whole situation will be swept under the rug.
Well said. But this case will definetely go under arbitration with NFLPA, so it may be evidence for the case and under review.
If you still feel that you can take an AB account of events seriously at this point, there's no convincing you otherwise. This dude's lied, made bad decisions, burned every bridge, and committed criminal acts time and time again on top of being a bad teammate and quitting on them and creating unnecessary drama. This situation isn't new to his time with the Bucs, and everytime this stuff is arbitrated, AB's always found to be in the wrong. It's like the boy who cried wolf. The likelihood of his account being true THIS time when 99% of the other times he was full of 💩 is incredibly low. Eventually, people rightfully turn away from yet another story because they already know what the outcome is likely to be...
@@tommydevine9993 your thought process is flawed. If we're taking old actions into account with the new. No one would be safe. But you only choose who you give a fair chance to. AB one and done.

@@rehn4529 what separates AB from the others is that it's not about giving him the benefit of the doubt or a second/third chance.

If this were his first incident or even his second, I can understand having more compassion or benefit of the doubt, but he's way, way beyond that point.

Such a selfish playing the victim post. I lost all respect for that 🤡 years ago, this just adding flames….his parents should be ashamed of themselves. Such failures.
AB has a pattern of doing this. Tryna get ya in a "got cha" moment. Once he thinks he has the leverage, here comes the screenshots, text messages, whatever... and he always makes himself look bad each time. Manufactured chaos at all times with him. Dudes a 🤡

@@TheGreatGuy_ tbh it was well written, doubt all of it was true, but probably some of it was true. He looks bad because if he was in that much pain why didn't he go immediately to the medical staff? Either way even if he was 100% truthful he is a grown ass man and handled the situation childishly. Man straight up threw a temper tantrum... no other player has done that, and there has 100% been worst situations than someone telling you 'You're done' or whatever AB claims. Man acted like a child and is trying to blame it on someone saying something mean to him, that's how he looks bad, assuming he is telling 100% of the truth. If he isn't, which is likely from his track record, then later on he will look bad for lying. Not to mention the tb12 gurro situation, like what is he even complaining about there lmfao.
@@legit1913 AGREED! When I saw what AB was doing on Sunday, my first thought was 'here's the AB man child again' - what I saw unfold in Pittsburgh and every team since. AB is a 'man' in the sense of being of legal age - over 21. AB has the emotional intelligence of a four year old CHILD throwing temper tantrums for not getting his own way. The reason AB will never be in Canton was demonstrated last Sunday...and that's a shame because AB's receiver talents is about right at the top of football.
YUP! He sure looked injured and unable to play as he strutted off the field. he just realized that he lost millions.
Are we going to act like players haven't been forced to play while hurt since the NFL started? Ex players talk about it all the time. We all need therapy. Not just him. Even a crazy person can tell the truth.
Well, don't take millions of $$$$ playing a game, go to work at McD's.

My guess is that both sides are “right” to a certain extent. I would guess that AB maybe downplayed his injury more than he’s leading on so when he refused to go into the game the coaching staff was taken aback and maybe reacted in a way that AB took offense to. However, AB would’ve still been in the right in that case regardless of how the coaches felt, so there was no need to pull the spectacle that he did.
So if he had no intention to play, he should've said so
He was…
Jumping…
@@andrewpennell7920 true but that’s not the same as running routes or getting hit
I agree I feel like if u don’t agree with this your being bias in some way to either side this seems the most logical.
@N_JAMES if your ankle is THAT bad don't play. Be professional
All AB had to do was wait for the game to be over, instead of storming off the field and embarrassing the League. The rest of the story is irrelevant now.
Most of us have reasons to yell at our boss or throw a fit at work, but we don't. The world is unfair, and we learn to cope with that fact.
Exactly!
Bruh AB got told to get tf out by BA he was on the bench
Even BA admitted telling him to go because he refused to go into the game
To be fair I would be very angry as well. He couldn't wait for the game to be over cuz the buccs told him he was done before he stormed off. He was already done with the team before that happened and if a team does that to me because of an injury I would probably react very erratic as well. I think the story should be if the buccs cared for his health that would've never happened.
What if you got fired from your job for having covid and not being able to work ( being sick and can’t do your job) you’d probably act the same way to your boss for unfair firing after you have been giving your all for that company
Lol I would of did the same thing though. As soon as you realize your coach doesn’t care about you or your well being then it’s “what am I here for”
One thing is clear, it would be a nightmare to sign up AB.
Watching Pat grabbing the chair and almost sitting down is ALMOST as good as watching the DVD bouncing on the screen waiting for it to hit a corner lol
His uber driver and kodak said AB was angry that Gronk was getting the ball. This matches the media statement that he was overly suspicious of everyone, felt that ppol was coming for him and his request to have his pay to be given to him immediately instead of him earning it.
No way he wrote that his lawyer did an amazing job
Pat and the boys giving you the realest take on whats happening in not only the NFL but all sports.
C’mon. His lawyer wrote it.

D-d-d-do you have it?
AB didn't write this. I do believe he wrote Pit not the Palace though lol.
I mean look at Tom Brady played while hiding an injury, Godwin was running sprints injured, Gronk was playing with broken ribs and also Leonard Fournette was playing injured.... What AB is saying is facts but y’all so focused on things that have nothing to do with the situation.
Ok. I don’t know why it’s a big deal. If ur not a Bucs fan u shouldn’t care. People storm out on jobs everyday
@delreydavid if true yeah that is such a scum bag thing to do lie on TV about knowing an injury and trying make someone else look crazy because you know the media will take your side since it’s AB if it’s all true that’s actually fucked
Ikr?!
literally every nfl team has players playing while injured. Come back with a better argument.
@@lesprentice583 by choice
10:54 inception level analysis. AB takes a screenshot of AB speaking to AG while listening to AB's pit, not the palace
He's FOS.
I supported him up to this point. Browns been in the NFL long enough to know how protocol works while injured. He suited out.
Players play hurt all the time. The only protocol is if you’re good to play it doesn’t matter what injury you have. Look at baker. Dude played a month plus with a shoulder injury.
@@christyouredumb956 I rode bulls in the rodeo for years. I got used to being hurt .
Sooooo not a single CBS or fans camera caught Bruce Arians telling him he's cut by doing the throat slash. I find that odd.
It's almost like AB made it up! Hmmm AB? never...
Victim card mentality
The only AB that's in that statement is the end when it says business us boomin'...
On a side note
The coach that allegedly stated if you don’t go you’re done committed an unfair labor practice
As a company rep he’s not allowed to threatens one’s employment
He has to follow proper protocols
He has a union contract, and the coach cannot terminate it at his discretion like that, regardless what he assumed.
@@bendersenate8360 even a threat justifies a labor violation
@@NQTOD NFLPA is looking at it, so we will see.
If any of this is true (and I understand that is a question) then this may be the worst bit of news coming out of the Buccaneers Organization that any of us have ever seen.
If what Antonio Brown is saying is true then this is the kind of thing that gets the Buccs organization fined and Bruce Arians fired.
While this is horrible and evil if true, do you not know what the bucs did to lose bo Jackson? He was supposed to be drafted there but he rightfully refused to play for the bucs
Point being I believe all of this considering how messed up the bucs organization is
AB did the same thing when he was in Pittsburgh and had major issues when he was in Oakland. You can't trust a word the dude says. He needs mental help. Yeah if what he said is 100% true then its pretty bad but its hard to believe anything when he's cried Wolf so many times in his past.
@@WhiteRaven___ I can flip the script just as easily as you’re trying to do.
How many times has the nfl neglected the safety of its players like this? More than you know. You want to smear AB and act like his word can’t be trusted while the NFLs reputation is 1000000x worse. You must be a really young fan if you think the NFL doesnt have a bad record of doing things like this
@@bm3494 that was 36 years ago.. its not even the same owner or stadium anymore. That has nothing to do with this situation. Bo wanted to play baseball over football and the Bucs did draft him and he refused to play for them Because the owner wanted him to give up baseball to play football so he screwed him out of his final year of college baseball. That Buccaneers franchise has absolutely zero to do with this one. Bo Jackson is completely different from Antonio Clown
No man. AB had an outburst in the locker room about not getting the ball. Even I knew he had an ankle issue lol. He never said anything on gameday to Arians about his ankle feeling too painful to continue. That's the important thing that people aren't understanding.
Even if he’s right he handled it like a straight diva if you notice when he took off all his equipment he kept looking back to see if they were paying attention to him and then he went to a Nets game literally a day later like your not helping your case
He has every right ? Frustrations and emotions flying everywhere why wouldn’t he act that way? And you expect him to stick around when he got fired lmao
@@cameronorduna9964 sure he has a right to walk off the field; the way he did it is the problem.
Althought it does line up if he was at the Nets game in NY cuz he was getting an MRI on his ankle
@@cameronorduna9964 arians doesn’t have power to fire players hence why he stayed on team until today and not sunday
Can’t remember if he said it or someone else but he wanted to distance himself from the team and not wear something that represents them as he leaves the field
Bro I was cruising on the street and the UPS driver was blasting the show on his radio lol
Ankle seemed fine when he was jumping in the endzone
Adrenaline of the moment can be a power drug though, I don't think that is the best evidence against there not being an injury, people have done more on worse.
well his ankle was shattered and the ligaments were torn..
@@willtollefson4746 Yup. I ran around on a broken leg trying to prove to everyone and myself that I was ok. Got an X-Ray 4 days later. "You broke your leg in 2 places."
It's super amazing to me how many internet doctors can do 100% diagnoses from watching distant videos. I mean, why do we even have hospitals anymore?
damn that's crazy that he had to run at full speed, plant, cut and change direction on a hurt ankle while jogging. that's crazy how you can play at the top of your game when you're jogging.
like come on man. AB is obviously in the wrong but you'd have to be ignorant to know how someone deals with an injury. have you never been injured?
@@willtollefson4746 ok and? Use that adrenaline to play in the damn game… do t use it to be a cry baby
It's the same old story in the country. People losing their mind because they were "disrespected ". Grow up.
He ran out of the ground jumping on his injured ankle, if your ankle is injured and you can't play anymore you aren't running out jumping and waving to the fans.
Not in the AB is right camp, but there is a massive difference between playing snaps in the NFL and jogging off and doing some side steps, especially for ankles which are most used when cutting/changing direction.
I mentioned this same thing in another video and got told I’ve never played football or sports and don’t understand the situation. AB fans go to the end of the world to defend this guy. Sad to think they believe he’s the victim now when he’s only caused problems the last x amount of years.
@@patcassidy9283 Umm. No.
You don't do that if you are using the ankle as an excuse.
We was on painkillers tho
When you get pissed and he was on a painkiller....Yes, you can. But that doesn't mean you should, as it will do more damage. I love how people can tell what other people are dealing with.😄 Can you feel peoples pain?
1:52 R.L Stein level lol
He ran just fine off the field
AB just explained the difference when jogging off the Field vs in game speed.
But you wouldn’t know that because you haven’t jogged since 1976 😂😂
How many Defensive Backs did he have to juke running off the field?
tell me you're an out of shape & over weight middle aged American without telling me you're an out of shape & over weight American challenge
@@KumoGoesFast nope 50 in great shape
Lol pat throwing out double spacing outta nowhere hahahah
Based on AB past history, I don’t believe a word of it.
If he were white ya would...
@@01dirtydirk - Well, Mike Tomlin was black and he didn't believe him. But yeah...AB is always right. If you don't believe me, just ask Antonio.
It's sad that writing with proper punctuation is seen as outstanding, when someone who isn't viewed as an intellectual writes a few paragraphs without errors.
AB feels he was being punished with the players we was with. The letter was prepared by legal people. There is a huge difference of being fired and quitting. Millions of dollars in severance. Lawyers put out that 'official' statement he was canned before he left the field not after his antics.
I can't wait until that's part of the "In Thier Own Words" segment in A.B's inevitable Crime In Sports episode
I feel for AB but with his history you can’t storm off like that. I get that he’s frustrated it’s just a bad look for him. If he would have just walked to the locker room or to the medical team this whole thing would have been viewed differently.
Once the coach throws the slit throat sign all bets are off.
@@P3GProductions yeah it would have, Ab admitted it was a mistake and was triggered, you don’t have to defend the way he walked off the field. We all know that there was no grace or consideration for his team when he did it
You feel for a guy that quit on two team and is a ragging psychopath? Gtfo 😂
@@scooterwallace8212 you don’t know what he’s going through. Man is obviously not in the right state of mind to be acting like this. I feel for him but it doesn’t mean his actions are okay
B.A. vs. A.B. ?? Hilarious.
Those texts that I’ve seen so far don’t really say that BA knew about tears or ligaments. BA says that he wants AB with them if he’s ready, so where is the admittance that he knew that he knew the severity of the ankle. As for throwing Brady under the bus, man that’s a slap to his face. Placing him on that meme with BA says a lot more has to be said.
The fact that BA texted him to see if he’s ready would indicate he knew about the ankle. I doubt he sent texts to every single Buc that dressed. He also was on the injury report for the week.
@@quikdeath100 Of course BA knew he was injured. AB missed like 4 weeks because of the injury. The whole team knew he was injured. The claim isn’t that BA didn’t know that AB was hurt at all, because he obviously did. The claim is that BA didn’t know that AB wasn’t going back into the game on the sidelines during the game because of the injury. AB was complaining about not getting enough targets in the first half during halftime. Who complains about not getting enough targets when they’re in “extreme pain”?
@@quikdeath100 right I mean the coach is the one who submits the injury report. So he definitely was aware of his injury, but the extent of the injury is what I question. I mean if the text from BA to AB mentioned the severity than yeah case closed. But BA only said he’s wanted with the team if he’s ready to go, not hey how’s the torn ligament or how are those fractures holding up….
I’m really interested to see the sideline video or hear the audio.
He did not write this. lol He is lucky to be allowed to play this game. He has taken every advantage of the NFL to stay in this game he has taken for granted.....did not look hurt to me doing running jumping jacks and getting the crowd fired up leaving
Yes let’s disregard a well-renown surgeon and the MRI.
Spoken like a true hwite man
@@darkidz24 you mean spoken with some actual sense
@@quikdeath100 Which surgeons have made statements? AB only mentioned that he saw orthos--nobody has come forward to back him up.
Yeah let's disregard Antonio Brown's entire history of bad behavior and lying when he doesn't get what he wants. You don't have to go that far back to see his last major lie--the fake vaccine card...
The comma after 'fans' and before 'and' is unnecessary: it doesn't change the meaning nor aid clarity, merely clutters up the sentence.
And did you guys listen to the press conference he didn't say one thing about being hurt on the sideline it was about catches
AB: My ankle hurts
Ben stiller from Happy Gilmore: Oh your ankle hurts? Now your wallets gonna hurt, cuz you just got cut. Any body else’s ankle hurt?
So the guy doing jumping jacks on the sideline and dancing around had a bad ankle? Also, why is nothing ever his fault? I feel like a complete sucker for having rooted for at trusted this guy time and time again, now I think he needs more help than the league is willing or able to give. Not buying AB's side, not anymore.
i told him " Its My ANKLE " 💀💀 gottdam Pat lmao
AB has been in some though situations this one is a little different, I would assume a team would pick him up after this because he spoke up about it in a civil way rather than try to go against the team.
The big thing here is that he shouldn’t have left doing jumping jacks and waving to the crowd like that and claiming an injury, idk it’s hard to say because if he comes back with the MRI showing a broken bone and tore ligaments then he definitely would have the upper hand here and would most likely find another team in the NFL
Imagine it’s not broken and he breaks it on purpose 💀
He faked a vaccination card, he can get a bogus MRI.
@@moochee22 2 very different things, a VAX card printed on a piece of paper forged, VS mentioning doctors at a reputable hospital, especially top doctors, SEVERAL doctors.
They can lose their LIC, get sued, hospital will have a field day, among other things.
Not worth it on any front.
Doctors have a reputation to live by too.
They'll either expose him as a liar or say he's telling the truth, but they're not lying for him.
Well judging by his IG, he’s hanging out, going to parties, all smiles with no cast or cane of any sort. I mean if they pain is “excruciatingly unbearable” with “shattered bone fragments” yet he’s going all over like that, I’m gonna have to believe he’s not hurt at all. 😆
It’s called an Oxford comma Pat. Lol
Coincidentally if you had asked literally any NFL fan just prior to this "to AB's greatest benefit... should AB post a Twitter statement written by himself, or a statement created by his lawyers?"
Everyone: "lawyers"
So the dudes b*tching that it wasn't him... Thank God for AB!
8:16 can you explain how he is "bitching"
@@j644 who is "he" ? I was referring to all of the ppl Pat said were complaining that they didn't believe AB had written it, as if that really matters in this situation...
@Sean Wallace ah see I misinterpreted your "dudes" as a "dude's" as in "dude is" where the dude in question would be one Pat McAfee. My b dude we on the same page then
@@j644 lol
That Alex Guerrero thing sounds to me like he did not want to deal with AB anymore. Wanted to cut ties and his response is basically a really professional version of good riddance.
Mr Brown needs to learn a lesson I tell my sons at least 2x a month
How you choose to express yourself is as important if not more important than what it is your trying to express
Any grown adult has to know they can be absolutely 100% in the right but if they express thier position or facts in an wholly unacceptable manner it will not matter you will be judged by your actions not your words
I needed that advice
"RL Stine level". That is awesome
Always the victim, never accountable. There’s a reason why 1st or 2nd round talents drop all the way down draft boards. No amount of head trauma excuses the way he has repeatedly treated teammates, strangers, and people in his life.
You mean teams always acting like victims whenever they cut players or make them play hurt them cut them because they were hurt
Dude AB is a freak athlete, and is hurt and is stating he’s hurt and you wanna act like he’s “playing the victim”.
Nah man AB deserves to be able to make calls about his own health. You’re crazy if you don’t think so.
You TH-cam idiots love hating on athletes and rappers
@@olo_smooth_olo5606 lol Antonio brown is one of my favorite athletes to ever watch in the nfl. I’m not an enabler of people with trash personalities. That’s not hating, people must be held accountable for their actions. It’s no wonder why certain communities are in the state they are in.
@@donp5069 the black communities are fucked up because of your ancestors insistence on decimating the black race, nice attempted dog whistle.
