Antonio Brown. Wtf?

[kozar]

do not have a link yet I’m watching the game live on TV, but he just took off his shoulder pads threw his jersey his undershirt his gloves everything into the crowd ran across the field and into the locker room. It appears he just quit the team, how strange. Edit to add link from pro football talk

1. He should be kicked out of football for trying to use a fake Covid card.

[bluedigger]

2. Getting arrested for his fake vac card finally?

[kozar]

3. Dunno.

I’ve never seen anything like that in my 61 years

[LisaM]

4. Yeah, they are showing it on the Red Zone station.

I don't think the team comes first with that guy.

[bluedigger]

7. I don't think he will have to worry about teams anymore.

[milestogo]

5. CTE?

[TexasBushwhacker]

28. That's my guess

2016 hit by Vontaze Burfict. He's never been the same.

[milestogo]

29. He does have a history of anger management issues.

I am not aware that CTE comes on quickly. I thought the onset was delayed a few years.

But most of these athletes have been slammed around since high school. The damage is already done by the time they get to the NFL, where the injuries are worse.

[TexasBushwhacker]

30. True about concussions

I have a friend who works for ESPN and he said Brown's "issues" got much worse after the hit in 2016. Of course, CTE cannot be formally diagnosed until after death, so we don't really know when it starts.

There are tapes of the hit on YouTube, but most are blocked from linking them. Here's a link that should take you to YT.

31. Wow, just wow.

Horrible to watch. That could cause a lifetime of problems.

[RockRaven]

6. Scumbags gonna scumbag...

I only wish the consequences were more dire and/or embarrassing for Brady and Arians who cynically authored this sad episode.

[tishaLA]

9. Arians let himself be used. I guess the SB was worth it for him

He said when they signed Brown that he wasn't going to put up with any shit, then Brown did his vaccine stunt and Arians welcomed him back like it was nothing.

They all get what they deserve.

[AZLD4Candidate]

26. Arians sacrificed his credibility as a coach at that point

He doesn't run the team Brady does and what Tommy wants, Tommy gets.

Arians is a figurehead. And a hypocritical one at that.

[tishaLA]

8. It's like watching someone lose his mind

on national TV

[Angleae]

23. He lost it years ago.

[Deep State Witch]

10. He Is An Assclown

Always has been. I remember him and Leveon Bell getting stopped for driving over 100 MPH on McKnight Road in North Pittsburgh several years back.

[Irish_Dem]

11. Football player taking his clothes off on live TV?

I usually only watch college teams but maybe I need to start watching the NFL.

[Walleye]

12. 👆

[Irish_Dem]

14. There's a picture of him on another thread. Very handsome guy

who cuts a fine figure.

I think you guys should stop picking on this nice young man.

[Walleye]

16. Looking good for sure. Maybe he was just getting hot and had to take a shirt off

[Irish_Dem]

17. Sometimes men just need a bit of fresh air.

Maybe it will start a trend.

[milestogo]

15. Just above the waist.

You'd have to follow him into the locker room to see the rest.

[Irish_Dem]

18. Oh my.

[kozar]

20. Oh my, u2! Nt

[Irish_Dem]

21. I have to start reading the football forum more often.

[Walleye]

13. Overgrown little boys are going to do what they want if they're not punished

[Shermann]

19. Take This Job and Shove It!

Said no one who makes over a million dollars a year ever.

[Ptah]

22. Pat Tillman did.

[Angleae]

24. Vontae Davis of the Buffalo Bills in 2018 did.

Went into the locker room during halftime, hung up his cleats and told everyone he was done and retired.

[AZLD4Candidate]

25. And the Bills became a punch line for the entire season

I wonder if that will happen to the Bucs.

[Angleae]

32. They've been a punch line for several weeks now.

Ever since the fake covid card.

27. 2016 - Horrible blow to the head by Vontaze Burfict

Definitely CTE. I'm surprised he didn't break his neck.
