Feel bad for Tom he stuck his neck out for AB. Sad
@1 Son perfectly said 👌🏾
Don’t feel bad; he won ring 7 with him.
Tom Brady done with him also.
@1 Son 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can’t wait to hear McAfee talk about this
I am waiting for that, too.
Hopefully Barry McCockiner gets to interview AB
@Mine Craft Vvg AB is definitely Lolcow of the week
Me neither 😂
Cyril to go from dropping a pass to catching the game winning TD is awesome
Love to see it
Tyler Johnson dropped that pass.
@RarelyEvenn Cyril dropped a pass on the last drive
Arians didn’t want Brown to begin with and I believe it was Brady’s idea to bring him in.
Yup.
Facts they envy Antonio brown bc of the type of person he is 💯
@Mike Fishes Gronk is an elite blocker for a TE so he will play regardless of his receiving stats.
@Nick L. Sure but that said he still helped them win a title so I’d say it was worth it in the end.
_Thanks Captain Obvious_
I can’t believe AB did what he did. He proved everybody right. Sports analyst were right that he can’t be trusted.
Based on what I´ve seen in people around, AB exhibited signs of someone sabotaging himself to be left alone to do the things he wants to do… without anybody around to judge him. Well, he got it now… so sad, one more talented person lost in life…
Yo the man got some serious head injury related issues, he’s always been edgy but after that hit he took in pit he’s been off his rocker, I feel bad because he’s a nasty player and honestly I remember Irving and T.O. doing all the same bs 🙄
Antonio Brown had an ankle injury and did not feel that he was in good enough condition to play. The coach said idgaf basically and said that if he wasn’t gonna play he’s cut. So he left, I feel he was completely in the right.
Jumping and cutting on a route are two very different things. When he shut down the question about ab that’s kinda a questionable thing because it seems to me he’s trying to stay away from the story
You salty now that those text were released?
I was at the game , I saw AB and Tom arguing in the huddle beginning of the 3rd quarter. It was weird he kept getting subbed out for Cyril & I think he was frustrated about that. I watched mike Evans try to call him down but he wasn’t having it. Then that happened . & ironically guess who makes the game winning catch
@Ivo Cinco BA was telling AB to get back on the field when AB refused and walked out💀
@Zoe De Abreu what’s the point of going out there if he was getting froze out of action? Just to be a decoy? Lol come on think critically bro and again it’s all speculation for now until specifics of ABs contract get released and we hear his side
@Ahmir Sharif lol, what? Disrespecting? What even leads you to says that anyone was being disrespected?
@Ivo Cinco Brady wouldn’t do that, he’s the one who wanted him there after all. Stop typing and learn before you speak.
@hoodrat1632 sheeesh some of you people really dont have any sense of humor
That first response by Arians is why he’s a great coach. “Let’s talk about the guys that went out there and won the game.” Talk about keeping a team together and focused.
@Josue Metayer that I’m interested to hear some nfl recordings of the sideline. I don’t believe ab at all and still he quit on his teammates mid game. I don’t believe an organization that was a playoff lock was forcing one of their stars to play injured in a borderline meaningless game when they would surely want him right for the playoffs.
@Adam Easzy Answer this question first. Did you or did you not believe AB at first as being a loose cannon…. Without considering his position? That will answer that question.😎
@Lord Beerus I thought a guy abandoned his team and instead of commenting on that because I wasn’t a part of the situation I instead commented on a coach keeping his team focused and together.
@Lord Beerus what are you alluding to exactly? I’m still curious
He should have said ” He is no longer a Buc…PERIOD!! ” That would have been epic 😂😂
He did. Did you not watch? 🤦🏾♂️
@LunaWolfMXS he did not say period, did you not read?
He said it without saying it
Uhhhh…. he said that.
@robin Hobin literally….geezzzz
He went from being the best WR in the league and one of the highest paid three years ago and now he is unemployed. What a jagoff
He made millions in the NFL I believe he can start a business and be his own boss
Facts he was a top 2 wide receiver him or Julio and then the CTE effect 😔
Brain injurys effect behavior immensely that hit he took in pit roasted his brain completely
@Jacob Watson 100 percent right he’s always been edgy but after that hit in pit he lost his marbles
Nah he a straight clown now
I think AB’s CTE is real and the NFL has an issue on its hands that it does not want to admit it. Ive been following AB’s career from the start and that wild card game with the Bengals where Burfect nearly took his head off changed AB forever. He used to be a bright eyed, calm, intelligent person and ever since the hit he’s been regressing mentally and emotionally.
No dude. He’s from Florida. They crazy from there. I’m from Florida so I know.
@Mike Fishes he got 15 targets last week. and there was still over a quarter of football to be played as well as next week. maybe shouldn’t have gotten himself suspended
@thebeatleswin1 Hey pal I don’t know you but I have a strong feelin you are in no position to be calling anyone a loser
WWE (Chris Benoit) as another example
Hum, you may be right, as he´s behaving like that player who ended up committing suicide in jail who used to play for the Patriots. I saw the documentary about him, and it was shocking to see the results of his autopsy – what the hits in the game did to his brain… Got the name — Aaron Hernandez
Coach: I’m not talking about AB.
Every other reporter: So AB, huh? What’s up with that, Coach?
Reporters never do what coaches want them to do.
You can hear the anger in Bruce’s voice when they mention AB
Who wouldn’t be angry
You can hear the anger before the question
You salty now that those text were released?
“Lets talk about the guys who went out there and won the game.” that is the best response I heard from BA. It’s AB’s loss not the Bucs…
@Randy Williams didn’t really have a ton to do with either of them.
@Andrew
And Gronk, Cam Brate, Scotty Miller, Cyril Greyson, OJ Howard, Breshard Perriman, LeVeon Bell…
Brady has worked with far less.
its ABs loss and most definitely the bucs loss as well just look at the numbers. sad situation overall
@Andrew Gronk and Evans are two of the best ? I think they fine dawg I hate the Bucs but they finna go to the Super Bowl
Coach covering up a story. I totally understand AB.
I’m not a Bucs fan, but I love coach Arians. THAT’S how you handle that situation (the first question). Antonia Brown has had so many opportunities to be one of the NFL greats and he literally threw them all away. Too bad.
Do you not know what ‘literally’ means?
@Justice Democrat yeah cause he literally did
@Justice Democrat Yes, which is why I used the term. He threw away every opportunity. Do you not know what ‘literally’ means?
@Sooner Keith you can’t literally throw an opportunity. So no. You don’t know what it means
As a Steelers fan and someone who witnessed Arians already deal with AB enough during his days in Pittsburgh, he is so right in his simple response.
Yea funny how that works. Player gets asked about drama, refuses to answer only wants to talk about the game and maybe his stellar performance. He’s considered a POS diva . The Coach gets asked about the drama on HIS football team. And he gets applauded for not answering. What a leader….
It sucks to see one of our top players go. But we can all say it was the right decision from the Bucs staff.
@Austin C yes, and he will be not missed only replaced by someone better,
@Austin C That’s not the full story but okay…
Not for me keep that clown out the nfl forever need to get his mind together
You salty now that those text were released?
@Shaquan Williams could you be more specific?
Keep it up Bruce! Good TEAM win today. I cannot fault a guy for giving someone the benefit of the doubt. You’re doing a great job.
You salty now that those text were released?
@Shaquan Williams not 1 bit fam
Love it! Great answer! “Let’s talk about the guys that won the game”! Best response EVER!
What a great interview. BA did a fantastic job on not feeding the attention the selfish one seeks, and focusing on the guys who were warriors.
On another note, being someone very concerned about mental health awareness, I pray AB finally gets the help he needs. This is obviously someone in crisis. Hoping he turns his life around like Brandon Marshall did, and uses his story (which hourly will have a positive chapter coming soon) to help others.
i think you are making way too many assumptions here… sure his actions were not right, but you realize they could have been screwing him out of millions in bonuses on purpose. It’s happened a lot across the nfl. I know hes had his fair share of meltdowns, but the man clearly was coming back well. We have no actual knowledge on his reasons for walking out let’s not make assumptions.
Bruce Arians is a class act. Great coach!
