Antonio Brown Keeps His Emotions Off The Internet

I saw some people using the puppetmaster defense of Antonio Brown after he got his wish. That he was just acting like a total ponce in order to tank his value to get the trade and now that he got everything he wanted he’d just go back to being normal.
So much for that!
Looks like Antonio Brown is actually just as big a douche as he looked like. Maybe things are that simple. Props to JuJu for being a billion times more mature than the guy he looked up to in the end.
I love the talent, but man would I love for someone to take away his social media privileges
Props for using that most English of mild insults, ‘ponce’.
Call me crazy (I am an eagles fan after all) but I don’t think that AB is a diva like so many people are suggesting. Yes he has been super good, but it hasn’t really been since this past year that he’s started acting like a turd, which lines up very nicely with Big Ben acting like a turd.
He was never one to go out of his way to be a douche (yes he was a little wild on field, but so are a lot of players) and it seems that only since Big Ben started dragging him through the mud on the radio (without any repercussions I might add) did he start getting pissed off and acting like a Twitter turd. And frankly, if I’m the best WR in the game, and my QB goes public saying that I run bad routes and that I suck and that I need to run a better route even though you threw an int to a D-lineman, I’d want to leave the team too.
That’s honestly a good point and honestly when you think about it Big Ben has always been an egomaster as even Hines Ward has come out and said that hes had some drama with Ben in the past behind closed doors away from the media
I think Brown has let his crazy/immaturity spill more and more over the edge of the field in the last year, but it was always there. Like with the incident where he livestreamed a closed meeting. This is not to say he’s wrong about Ben or the Steelers, since he isn’t. Just that being right doesn’t make him any less of an ass.
This really
What immaturity though? He has been, albeit a showboater, a class act during his time in the NFL. He never has had any meltdowns like OBJ, he’s never been loud and brash like Richard Sherman. He’s minded his own business and has become the best WR in the league. He walks and talks with a swagger, yes, but there’s a difference between being a childish diva and simply knowing you’re the best. Brown was quiet for the most part of the season while Ben was dragging him through the mud, lets not forget.
T.O? He was the best, sure, but he acted like such a prick. Are we really insinuating that AB = T.O? Stop this malarchy.
If Joe Montana constantly went on the radio and bad mouthed Jerry Rice, and then doesn’t have any repercussions for it, Jerry would understandably get pissed off. Would we call Jerry Rice immature and a Diva for wanting respect from his own team? Hell no.
Did you even read what he said? Here let me put it in all caps for you:
LIKE THE INCIDENT WHERE HE LIVESTREAMED A CLOSED MEETING.
And on the field would be dropkicking a punter.
The immaturity in which he is also trashing Juju Smith-Schuster, who by all accounts looked up to AB and was nothing but kind to him, because Juju went out and did his job and won a meaningless award. Even Leveon bell with all his grievances with the Steelers, has come out in defense of Juju. Ben probably had some hand in this development with his criticism and being unwilling to put it nicer for AB, but AB could also try to take the criticism constructively rather than throw a tantrum. There is no way this is all ben’s/the steelers’ fault. Like I get wanting “respect” but not winning a locker room award doesn’t mean you’re instantly getting 0 respect. Juju caught more balls for more yards than AB did, so it’s not like Juju got voted for the award entirely without merit. AB just has too big an ego, he can’t handle not being seen as the best, and rather than going to people he had issues with and voicing his concerns like an adult, he threw a tantrum like a baby.
Have you seen his temper tantrum with the Gatorade barrel?

Thank you!
Juju is a treasure, now watch the Steelers corrupt him.
I think it’s more likely that in a few years we see him go through the same process of wanting out. Brown’s a nut but Ben’s got a streak of being a dick to his receivers far enough back for both Ward and Sanders to talk about it; hopefully when the bottom falls out for Smith-Schuster he’s more like those two than Brown…
Idk, Big Ben might not be around in the league for much longer. He’s already pondered retirement a few times IIRC.
I can’t help myself.
*off
omg, I can’t wait to see Russel Wilson’s money comic.
