It actually says a lot about a lot of you.

What are you confused about, arch?

I have to think he's just joking.

I was joking, but it's always fun to watch certain folks get bent out of shape.

Your claim that you are joking doesn't change a single response to your "joke".

You're correct, but just not in the manner you intended.

Maybe those "doucebags" you talk about need help as well. We have only scratched the surface of mental health. Comments like these, are what keeps stigmas alive, and keep people from seeking the help they need. But keep on keeping on tough guy.

So baker is a Diva, and Hue was a victim.

Will do, Sigmund.

Here's another Antonio Brown "cry for help" ...



Stigma attached to mental health issues? No, but there are pretty strong stigmas attached to shoving the mother of your child to the ground or kicking a man in the face, and rightfully so.

Sometimes people are just a-holes and that's the only stigma that needs to be attached. Like me for example.

Oh don't sell yourself short. You might even be an aaa-hole.




J/K ..... I have been waiting for someone to say what you said so I could use that.

Lanning was our punter. I didn't watch the video, but I do remember the play. I never thought he intentionally kicked him in the face. I thought AB was trying to hurdle him.

I will say that Brown isn't doing himself any favors in the court of public opinion w/all of his recent actions.

"Hurdles...Kicks a Man!" has me cracking up every time.

I don't think he premeditated it and I do think he was initially going for the hurdle, but when he saw that he didn't get the height, he definitely extended his leg out and intentionally kicked him.

This 100%.

It really did look intentional.

You can see him pull his leg upward to add force to the stomp. He's lucky he only got flagged instead of ejected.

If that's a Browns jersey kicking a punter in a steelers jersey, we're probably looking at ejection, suspension, and a fine.

I totally agree the kick to the face was intentional, but I also believe it was premeditated. What I saw, then and in the clip, was the same as the announcer said. Brown was headed for the sideline where he had a clear shot to a TD. He changed directions back toward the middle of the field, and the only explanation I see was that he saw Lanning and wanted to make a statement. He changed directions from a sure touchdown toward the only player between him and the end zone then jumped and aimed his foot at Lanning's helmet. Then he was proud of it. He made the image of his foot hitting Lanning's helmet the backgound photo on his Facebook page. (I saw it.)

Antonio may be the best WR in the game, but I have NO respect for him after that move. NONE.

We'll see if he's really the best if the Steelers trade him.

Santonio Holmes, Mike Wallace, Emanuel Sanders, Plaxico Burress, (and I think i missed a few?). AB is just another in the long line of WRs that Ben and the Pitt O made look good. He's probably the best of the bunch, but I'd wager not top 3 on most other teams.

I could just be a hater, but I used to hate Hines Ward and still respect him. AB, I dunno, just meh, he pushes off on almost every TD, if he were a Browns WR he'd lead the league in penalties.

I don't know if I would include Emmanuel Sanders. He was better once he left Pittsburgh. Much better. I'm surprised the Steelers didn't keep him. Nate Washington is another.

I hated Hines Ward and definitely did not respect him. One game, where we beat them fairly well, he walked off the field to the locker room without going on to the field to shake hands. Whenever they beat us, he was out there with that dumb-butt grin of his. Once I saw that, no respect for Whines Hard.

Hines Ward was also a cheap shot artist....so much so that he was voted the dirtiest player in the NFL by his peers.

I remember that. Was that the time we blew them out 33-13 or something? In pittsburgh?

Late to the party, but I almost agree with Vers.

If we were such sticklers about the whole "string of events indicates deep issues" like some are on this thread, we would not have drafted Baker Mayfield. He had a string of issues that were well-documented that, without the benefit of hindsight, probably should've scared us off of drafting him, more so at #1. But a person is not simply a sum of their worst moments.

That said, there's a point where the stories accumulate, and get worse and worse the longer you're watching. AB is going in this direction. So the comparisons to Baker begin to fall apart. Baker tried to plant a flag in turf, AB is accused to shoving his baby's momma to the ground. You can try to draw parallels, but you're the one that looks silly.

Yes, that was it.

Antonio Brown has no business in our locker room. I hope he stays in Pitt and goes even more diva!

It’s about the team and has to stay that way. Baker is a great example of that too.. his teammates have his back and would walk into hell with him! He is a HUGE unifying force on our team.

I know this fact bothers some around here due to their own negative biases but they can go pound sand.

This has been talked about a lot recently in the Pittsburgh area because of the incidents AB has had.

At the time, the Steelers were going to offer either AB or Sanders the large contract.

Sanders wanted more than Pitt was willing to offer, so they gave the $ to AB.

Just clicking,

saw this about what some expert thinks Brown's trade value is right now. It's pretty low.

And now the Kareem Hunt stuff will move into the background...

I'd take that salary on for a 4th rounder.

I'm sure the Steelers' FO is wondering, "How quickly can we get this guy to the Browns."

I bet Antonio Brown ends up on the Chiefs.

He needs to go to the NFC, please and thank you.

Bitter Browns fan in me wonders how good he'll be without the benefit of all those no-calls for OPI the Steelers enjoy on obvious push-offs and pick plays.
