Antonio Brown

[Stout]

I'm sorry you had to endure that, @oaken1 and @speedy. Stigmas like that anger me to no end. There's still a lot of work to do to de-stigmatize, but we have made progress.

I can't find the video but apparently a few days before the game Brown did an interview which was the first since he'd been back. They asked him about being back and what it felt like to have a coach who believes in him and he said "next question I want to talk about the game not this stuff."

Said nothing about this ankle injury that's being mentioned but also reporters said it was "uncomfortable" to watch at first they thought he was joking but when the question was rephrased he did it again.

Hmm, the statement actually sounds pretty believable.

But I doubt Tampa gets punished, bc we’ll they are the defending champs and the league wouldn’t want to go doing anything that might jeopardize another super bowl run for them.

Or just another way to put it... Can't mess with the golden boy.

Definitely see this potential from Bruce...dude probably carried some resentment towards AB for the vaccine card thing...then they're getting smoked by the Jets. One thing leads to the next... Arians blows up. I've seen the rage in that face on the sideline many times. Or, AB is just flat out lying. Neither would surprise me.

You don't do jumping jacks on the way out with an injured ankle.

You don't do jumping jacks on the way out with an injured ankle.

It’s possible after being injected with painkillers or just the adrenaline of the moment.

Then he should have gone in when asked.

Man, I really could have used you back in the late seventies.
my treatment was a bludgeon to the skull for acting like a weirdo....made even stimming stressful, which defeats the purpose

back then, in my neck of the woods...autism wasnt a thing. a kid was either ********, or he wasnt...and being a straight A student...obviously I wasnt ********...so my step dad felt it his duty to beat the weirdo out of me.
worked for the most part, I learned how to function in society...but I function so much better when I stay away from it, lol

Damn that’s awful. Sounds like you’re at peace today tho. There’s more awareness these days, but we have a ways to go to completely understand mental health

This!!!

 

[BigCardsFan]

Big Bruce carried the Bucs to a 20 points comeback he is clearly not the one at fault here

 

[TheCardFan]

Not defending AB but he was on the injury report for an ankle (DNP Thursday and Friday). Not how you handle that situation regardless.

So many cameras - there has to be video of Arians walking over to Brown if its true.

Yeah, his whole jumping jacks routine just puts the lie to everything he's belatedly claiming. Nice try, AB.

 

[Syracusecards]

Some people say its CTE from the hit vs Cincy - was he like this before that?

I think there is something to this. As far as I know, he wasn’t an issue at all before this.

Yes he was. He got expelled from Florida International University for fighting a security guard. He has been controversial since high school.

According to that doctor that is actually totally plausible:

I twisted an ankle so bad 40 years ago it took two weeks before I could walk (no dr. visit). Now I have issues with it. Walking hurts, running is impossible, but sideways (I tried it like AB) was no pain. Whether he's full of, uh, beans is another issue...

I think TB will just pay him for the year and cut him I the off season.

this, thank you

Right or wrong, throwing BA under bus to public is not going to endear him with other HC's around the league.
