    Thanks, this is my point. That $10,000 fine will make him a millionaire.

    True that. Cherry Coke to be exact. Although Cherry Pepsi isn't all that bad.

    I don't know how much his commercials pay him. Is it enough to pay the fines? He doesn't need exposure. All the talking heads have already declared him the best/one of the best WRs in the league. Quit self promoting, ya don't need it. IMO, the two best receivers ever, Rice and Lance Alworth didn't "twerk" after scoring. They were the "Bosses" of their day and everyone knew it. "Act like you've been there before"

    I could do without some of the stuff myself, but I also find it entertaining. If it hurts the team it's a bad idea.
    By the way what's wrong with self promoting?
    All his antics create more social media buzz which down the line leads to big bucks. Look at the Kardashians. They're making millions and they don't do squat. At least AB backs it up with his play.
    You may not like it and I don't think you're wrong for that. But you're wrong if you think those antics aren't helping to make big bucks.

    When AB opens up his portfolio it will be like "Unsportsman like conduct, Taunting, Excessive Celebration..." LOL! Tomlin's like "What was that about?!" and AB will be like "High Yield Investments, Coach!"

    You answered your own question about self promotion. That leads to the Kardashians and Paris Hiltons of the world. If you're an unknown, self promotion is fine but, once you've established yourself, it comes across as arrogance to me.
    I'm sure these "look at me" antics lead to big money but, try a little humility. So handing the ball to the ref means you miss out on a snickers commercial? People know who Antonio Brown is anyway.

    If he wants to do it that's up to him.
