Antonio Brown keeps stoking the flames of a dumpster fire

Don’t think I’d agree he was the best Steelers receiver ever. There’s at least 3 others I’d consider more valuable to the team. Originally Posted by Jacuzzme

No receiver in NFL history put together 6 consecutive seasons as good as he did. Originally Posted by 1pittsburgh

and he's a 3 time Super Bowl winner. Stallworth and Swann won 4 each.

Tom Brady is the reason Brown has a ring, not Brown.

I know all about Jerry Rice. He's one of my favorite players. Jerry Rice is the GOAT of WR, but Jerry Rice did not put together 6 consecutive seasons that were statistically as good as AB did. No one did. That's simply a matter of fact, so Jerry Rice has nothing to do with what I said.

AB has a ring and caught a TD in the SB. TB12 brought him there and let him stay in his home because he recognized the greatness.

The guy got caught doing 110 on fucking McKnight Road. Not the turnpike or some country road, a place where other people are put in serious danger. He should’ve been thrown out of the league just for that, let alone all the other stupid shit. You can take the kid out of the ghetto, but can’t take the ghetto out of the kid. I’m happy every time I hear about another of his self inflicted wounds.

Exactly two of the 3 I was thinking, along with Ward.

Why am I not surprised that you revel in his downfall. In fact I already knew that you did before this random rant.

Speeding ticket? What he did is toxic stupidity and it spreads. Have you ever been on that road? There’s an intersection every 10 feet. Real nice if he’d have killed a mom and a couple kids. Any organization with integrity cans him the next day.

Which sports league or team would "can" someone for a traffic ticket?

NHL player Dany Heatley was speeding with alcohol in his system when he wrecked and killed his teammate. He was not even suspended, let alone canned.


MLB player Jayson Werth was caught doing 105mph in Virginia and spent 5 days in jail, but was not suspended, let alone "canned."

Gentlemen thread is about Antonio Brown

AB was a great talent but unfortunately a hall of fame idiot from day one. That’s why he ended up going to Western Michigan, that’s why he was drafted in the 6th round, out of the league, burning thru his money, canned from arena league, blah, blah, blah…
He was a shitshow way before Burfect.
Tomlin and Ben did their best with him. Probably coddled him too much. AB won’t be the last shitty person that became shittier with fame.

Many people who work for organizations with integrity get DUIs and keep their jobs. Your off base analysis was due to the bias that you've demonstrated against AB, when you said that you celebrated his self destructive acts, and when you made that "ghetto" comment. Make no mistake about it, AB took himself out of Liberty City through hard work and dedication, and with laser focus and determination became way better at his craft than any of us will ever be at ours. How many high school WR are there that dream of making it to the NFL? Hundreds of thousands, and he made it to the absolute pinnacle, against all odds.


I'm sad to see him self destruct after the dirty Burfict hit, but it doesn't take away from what he accomplished previous to that, and it doesn't take away from the SB ring or the SB touchdown that he earned after it.


As for the "shit show," Charley, the before and after portions aren't even close. There's no doubt he was a bit divaish before, but almost every notable public incident occurred after.

He was put in the protocol and was not cleared to play the next week, which severely hurt the Steelers chances of advancing in the playoffs, and seems to have severely fucked up AB's brain.
