Antonio Brown Mega Thread (Was: AB is upset he's being fined by the Raiders

It will be a Nike commercial. They can beep out the cursing.
Nike is in it, @ :20 the kid is wearing a clearly displayed Nike Jordan shirt. There's also Nike sneakers in other spots.

 

Antonio Brown just needs to be put down at this point

 

Whether it was intended or not, it's a Nike commercial.

 

I know that any publicity is good publicity but I don't think Nike will want to touch that one. Who knows though there are ppl out there that think we can drop nukes into hurricanes to stop them so maybe Nike will offer the fool money for this.

 

Coach is in on it.

 

I'd expect nothing less, heading into opening weekend, his 1st season overshadowed by the Mack drama, his second being taken over by AB circus, his beloved playbook being rewritten for Brown and putting him in strange territory. At this point he is Kevin Bacon in Animal House. All is Well!

 

I've reached the limit of the amount of thought I want to put into it.

 

Interesting take. Me "signing off" on any post that critques you but said critques are ignorant and dishonest you say?! Given all that has happened with this Antonio Brown Saga, you REALLY believe you are still right about Pittsburgh "caving in"?!



This is not about me expending my precious time harping against you (as if I ever need to). This is about a player who truly believes he can whatever he pleases. In short?! Unimaginable arrogance. On that note, the aforementioned term is a great term for something I have been stating all along but spelled differently; bulverism. Sound familiar doesn't it?! Let me tell you why this is so familiar.








Everywhere you have posted on the site since the aftermath of the 2018 season has resulted you in either defending your points without information, data analysis or detail or attempting physiological warfare. Neither works on this site my man. For that matter, here is a quick recap on what this site, no, TheSteelersFans is.



To begin, last time I checked, TheSteelersFans is not "FormerScribe's English Classroom". None of us are your students last time I checked; oh most certainly not me doubly so and no less. Therefore, this site is not your personal playground to get your fix on belittling others; boasting about it more than an adolescent who exhibits breathtakingly prepubescent maturity boasts about winning a match in a game of Madden the same. While I myself never made the site and still have much to learn about TheSteelersFans, here is what I DID learn since coming here on April 21 of 2016. For that matter, here is WHY I am here.



TheSteelersFans is a message board dedicated towards sharing, debating and commenting all things Steelers or Steeler/NFL related. The site serves as a gateway towards a social hub in which fellow Steelers fans can interact with other and share their thoughts, feelings or grievances about the team. It also serves as a platform in which all forms of Steelers orientated discussion and or debates are welcome and constructive criticism is accepted provided they follow under the guidelines.



It is not a social platform that should be used to harass, belittle and antagonize other Steelers fans.



I seriously doubt @TerribleTowelFlying created the site with such malicious intentions. I can only imagine that, by providing a website for Steelers fans, he wanted to create a social hub in which all are welcome to discuss, debate and share their opinions about a team he grew up admiring; as we all did. Most importantly, I can imagine he created this site in which all can BE welcomed to further expand and increase the sites popularity and outreach towards other Steelers fans world wide.



In short Scribe, take the loss please. Stop antagonizing the board's forum members to make points that are nugatory. For that matter, stop antagonizing the board's members period. It really is not that difficult to do. Getting a rise out of people to obtain satisfaction is one morbid, insidious way to uplift ones spirits; sickening and concerning no less. Don't deny this either. Countless others are DONE of your "Oh woe is me" act and "I am smarter than you" prepubescent attitude.



You REALLY are embarrassing yourself. For that matter, you REALLY are making YOURSELF public enemy number one at this current time. My interactions with you from April 28th 2018 to today had, and have, no bearing on the countless others you have antagonized, belittled and/or harass. Those were YOUR decisions and YOURS alone. No amount of contradictory statements and/or other forms of psychological warfare that you likely will respond after reading this will alter what YOU and only YOU have projected yourself to TheSteelersFans Community.



Again and, in short?!



Accept the fact that A.B. would have enacted either similar or worse to the Steelers. Accept the fact that his ongoing actions reinforce the aforementioned. Most importantly?!




Accept the fact that YOUR behaviour is unwelcomed here. Indirectly like A.B., YOU created an imagine that is now not just unavoidable but also unlikable by many who forum here. It is up to YOU to decide whether or not YOU want to change.




The ball is in your court my man. I have said what I have said. Up to you now on how you want to be viewed and portrayed by your fellow members.



As for me?!?!

 

Yeah at this point it's like flipping the channel past the Kardashians and not wanting to watch but can't help yourself because you can't believe what you are seeing.

 

He backed down during his holdout with the Steelers. He let it leak that he would consider retiring if he didn't get the helmet he wanted, then immediately said he was playing once the ruling came down against him. He apologized today. Is three enough fro you?

To be clear, I don't mean that he won't continue to behave like an ass, as he proved by releasing the recording of Gruden. Violating his coach's privacy is nothing new for Brown.

 

Brown is responsible, but the Steelers front office is not free from blame. More than one person or group of people can share blame on things.

 

This is nothing but a personal attack on another member of the board. You are whining about me mistreating others while you do exactly that to me. You have stalked me across many threads on this board, jumping into discussions for the sole purpose of attacking me. That is absolutely inappropriate behavior. Given that, I have zero interest in being lectured by you. I made it through about half of your post before I stopped bothering. Once again, you made a false claim that I don't provide support for my arguments and accused me of belittling others simply because I state my points with conviction.

I will say the very beginning of your post is inaccurate. I did not say all posts critiquing me are ignorant and dishonest. I said that you would be willing to sign off on any negative comment about me no matter how ignorant and/or dishonest it might be. I do hope you see the distinction.

If the end of your post means that you will no longer engage with me or post about me, I will simply say thank you very much and move on.

 

I doubt that it is sincere. Brown was clearly out of line, but as I said, it's nothing he hasn't done before. If I was his boss, I'd never trust him to keep a private conversation confidential. It's been public knowledge that he can't be trusted on such matters for a long time.

 

Or, is it Gruden going "Thank you Sir, may I have another?"

 

He did say he was holding out, but gave in almost immediately. That it was settled so quickly showed how little resolve he really has. He did leak the rumor that he wouldn't play without his helmet, then immediately gave in and said he would play anyway once the ruling went against him. I never said that was an example of the Raiders being tough on him. It was a case of an authority, in this case the league, telling him he couldn't do what he wanted and even though he continued to act like an ass about it, he did give in.

Of course the apology today isn't genuine. The only thing Brown feels bad about is that his money is being threatened. That was clear even before the leaked audio of Gruden. That's the point. Brown didn't want to apologize, but he was forced to do it anyway. Whether he means it or not, he is admitting that he was in the wrong and that is absolutely another example of him caving because someone asserted their authority with him.

Brown had no real leverage against the Steelers. His situation was very different from Bell's. Sitting out a full season wouldn't make him a free agent. He would have still had the same number of years remaining on his contract. All he could do is not play, and in that case, not get paid. Do you really think he had the resolve to do that?

 

Look, I know you are trying to play it off as though you haven't read the entire thread, but come on man. There is no way your ego let you bypass even one post in the off chance you are mentioned. There are posts you would rather not address, and I can understand that given your need to be right. To be clear, I don't for a minute believe that you don't think you are smarter than everyone else here. If you didn't believe that then there would be no need to belittle others or be so insistent that everyone view your posts as fact. I've been involved with this board for a number of years and have come to appreciate the information that is exchanged here, especially other posters' opinions. This includes your opinion up until you feel the need to make snide remarks because others disagree. It really isn't necessary since there is no harm in having an unpopular opinion once in a while.

 

Why's everybody always picking on me?

With you there. Woke up, checked my phone and first thing I saw was Raiders to fine AB for his outburst, the next line "..and he is not happy about it." LMAO. So the emotional apology makes things all right in his world. Please AB, please get mad enough to do something stupid before Monday. getting to the point I understand why people need their fix of Kim and crew.

 

Lets hope he is suspended and he loses
his signing bonus money. This would be great.

 

So you're acknowledging that all of 'standing up to him' and making him give in thats been done in the past never really accomplished anything except buying more time until the next distraction, but you still believe that the Steelers should have stood up to him again this spring? Why? Why would the Steelers want to keep torturing themselves and creating tension and chaos that undermines the whole team? That's absurd. Enough is enough. Cut your losses and move on. A 3rd and a 5th is a steal at this point and it's only good to look better with each passing episode.
