    I do not. Classy move if anything.




    Callaway's issues were his own but to lend a helping hand in his hour of need is something I respect and admire about Antonio Brown.


    Besides, I highly doubt Antonio is giving him any major information in relations to the team; his own training regime no less.

    In this day and age I have no problem with it. Now if it were way back in the day and it was Jack Lambert mentoring Bill Cowher then that would have seemed a little weird.:huh:

    No problem at all. A lot of kids benefit from a mentor type friend.

    Yea I do have a problem with it, Brown gets paid millions to play and help the Steelers team. While under contract with the Steelers why go out of your way to help another team improve with helping it's player especially a rival team player in your own North Division. I look at it like trade secrets, Brown is a great player and has a lot to offer another receiver get better, so why give away your trade secrets to a rival player and team. You want to help someone great, just help your own teammates.

    This is how things are nowadays. Everyone are friends now. The other team are no longer enemies.

    I don't like it but it is how things are now.

    FYI Brown was working out and mentoring Callaway before the draft, so he didn't know Callaway was going to the Browns.

    Exactly.

    So now that he went to the Browns should he turn his back on a friend? Shame on anyone for being low enough to suggest that.

    This is a class act. Steve Hartman would be proud.

    Brown and the whole Miami thing is getting a bit annoying. From what I understand he had a rough childhood and he didn't even play his college ball there. They didn't value him when he was a nobody. He's going to ruin his legacy and play for the Dolphins at some point. I can already see it now.

    I seem to recall Ike inviting a lot of players to his summer conditioning program down in Fla. with Tom Shaw. Most were teammates but some played for other teams. Like most said, I think its common practice nowadays.

    He likes to help the players from where he grew up, no problem with that.

    I have no problem with this as a matter of fact after he fails as a Cleveland Clown this will set up nicely for him to come here with his talents and be a good player on and off the field......lol :shrug:

    And then when he gets cut there will be a post here to resign him.

    I think Antonio Brown will have a lasting impact on this league in ways we probably don't even know yet. I have no problem with this.

    Yes AB, stop it. We need those two wins a year. We make them look good when we play them anyway. Cleveland already has a Mentor. You Ohio guys will get that one.:smiley1::cool:

    We are not going to get two wins against Cleveland this year and not more than four wins in our division IMO.

    Which can happen at OTA's mind you.


    Brown has not forsaken anyone on the team. As I said, Brown also is not giving out any massive levels of detail when it comes to his training regime nor the Steelers.


    More than likely, it is a conditioning based training session with some basics upon adjusting to the NFL life. Everything else is something Antonio Callaway will have to figure out on his own. Furthermore, it will be up to him and him alone to take these lessons well.

    People do realize that it will be on either Artie Burns or Joe Haden should Antonio Callaway decimate the secondary right?

    Your pessimism would make HeinzMustard proud. Is your thought a decline of the Steelers or an increase in the Browns?

    My point exactly. Brown will not be to castize here but Arite and Joe should they allow that to happen.


    People need to "R-E-L-A-X" about this gathering Antonio Brown is having with someone he knows well. Giving him essentially the basics of the do's and do not's is all that he is doing.



    If Callaway does indeed build upon the training from Antonio Brown, mold it into his own and succeed, I will be happy for him as he will have overcome many of the issues that plauged him thus far in his life.
