2. Is there an airborne insanity virus going around?

3. Brain Covid n/t

4. And THAT........

is why the Steelers 'cut bait!'

Seriously, the guy has problems - I truly hope he gets some help.

I also believe it started with this:

&t=11s

6. You may be right

That was nasty.

5. I don't know what team he plays for, but I am going to start watching them.

I always thought pro teams were boring compared to college teams.
Yikes, this was great.

What a weekend, OSU wins the Rose Bowl and NFL teams start taking their clothes off and running around the field.

14. He's Not Playing For Anybody

He was cut before the game was even over.

7. Mental

[CentralMass]

8. Tom Brady had some compassionate words about him after the game.

It's clear that Brown has some mental health issues, needs help, and isn't
accepting any. Brady's comments tempered my opinion a bit.

9. Issues? Indeed!

Possible cause?

10. Mental health issues.

11. I have a 100% service connected disability

I mainly have problems sleeping not taking my clothes off.

12. Hands up who DIDN'T see this comining

He bailed out on reality several teams ago.

P.S. Were the 4-11 Jets winning at the time?

13. Yep! Jets Were Winning

They led nearly the whole game but;
The Jets failed on 4th down at the Bucs' 7.
Tampa drove down the field & scored with under 30 seconds on what looked to be about a 35 yard TD pass.
Not sure why the Jets didn't kick the short field goal.

[CentralMass]

17. Because they are the Jets.

[ProfessorGAC]

20. Giants, Too

I'm a Bears fan, so I watched that game.
The Bears are NOT GOOD! They manhandled the Giants.
NY football is a dumpster fire right now.

15. Arians coming off a win today, but still at a loss

to explain AB's antics...

16. Was the win supposedto help him explain a bat shit crazy player losing it ?

[True Dough]

18. It was simply word play: win/loss

Don't read too much into it.

One would need to be a high level therapist to explain AB's behavior.

[CentralMass]

19. OK, understood. I think that Tom Brady and the team were trying to help Brown.

Brady lobbied the New England Patriots to pick him up while he was still with tge Patriots. That stint was short lived . He then got Tampa Bay to pick him up and even let him stay at his house in Florida.
I think it was an effort to keep him from self destructing. It doesn't seemed to have worked.

21. Anybody here remember Jimmy Piersall?

He once ran around the bases backwards after a home run. He talked to Babe Ruth's monument in center field at Yankee Stadium. Got in fights, thrown out of games along with other issues. They even made a movie about his mental issues. Still managed to play over 15 years in the majors.

Here is clip from the movie....

22. Brown releases texts between him and Arians from pre-game

I don't see anything here that warrants that much condemnation against Arians. He was pushing Brown to play (and maybe AB needs that sometimes) but it doesn't appear that it was a "You'll play or you're done!" message.

23. Far too late, but a little self-realization

24. He probably realized his NFL career is over.

[True Dough]

25. AB still looking to return

Don't know why any teams would take a chance.

26. AB's biggest regret

27. Pure class!

Not the least bit self-centered!

28. Well, things are not looking a whole lot better for AB

Police in Tampa issued an arrest warrant Thursday for former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown.

The active warrant stems from a domestic battery incident involving a woman, Tampa Police said.

On Nov. 28 at approximately 1:30 p.m., Brown and the woman were involved in a verbal altercation at his home in South Tampa. The argument became physical, and according to police, Brown threw a shoe at the victim. Brown also attempted to evict the woman from the home by locking her out.

On Nov. 29, a judge denied a petition for a temporary risk protection order to prevent him from possessing firearms or ammunition if he was considered a threat to himself or others.
