    What do Tom Brady and Antonio Brown have in common?

    Apparently per La Canfora, Brown’s trainer and social media manager no longer have direct access to the team (Tomlins decision). The decision was handed down in training camp and has been a constant irritant between Brown and the Steelers.

    This is getting crazy with the drama. As you can remember, this was a big problem between Brady and Belichick. Although NE has compromised, now allowing Guerrero to travel with them, I hope this doesn’t become a huge deal in Pittsburgh. The drama doesn’t end and it sounds like this Could be some of AB’s said “problems”.

    I believe in Browns mind, being on the cover of Madden would have allowed him to build his brand and was hoping his social media manager would help create branding opportunities similar to JuJu

    I don't care.

    If he get's open and makes great catches and plays or not - that's what I care about.

    I think the drafting of Washington, Rudolph, and Samuels was the Steelers way of eventually moving on from all of the drama associated with our 3 stars. The Rooneys have got to be at their wits end with the BS.

    The problem with the belichick and brady thing was belichick didnt want alex Guerrero around because he was pushing his methods on the players and thus usurping the Pats training staff. I dont think that's the case with AB's guy Tomlin just wanted to remove him.

    That Guerrero guy is a complete fraud, I totally understand Belicheck's disgust with him. He's nothing but a good luck charm for Brady.

    The article says quite clearly there was a disagreement between the Steelers strength training staff and ABs.

    good move by Tomlin btw, and who do these trainers think they are arguing with team personnel? They should be grateful they were in the building, morons all the way around

    Another story reported by national media, that the horde of locals missed.

    Sure. But in some ways it could be one player or ten - you don’t want conflicts between the team staff and external trainers.

    (Different in the off-season, when they’re doing their own thing.)

    The local guys NEVER break anything. I don't know if they don't because they fear their access will be reduced. Or because they are fat dumb, happy on the Stiller beats. A horde of locals do nothing but re-report stuff from Fowler, Rappaport, etc. And the local snoops never call out bogus national stuff either. They allegedly have inside contacts, but you wouldn't know it.

    His social media manager should be fired anyways. Majority the time he spams ads and gets horrible engagement.

    Trade him too. Blow it up. Not kidding. Enough. This guy is never going to win a ring. Doesn't have it in him. Don't care about how talented he is.

    During the off-season feel free to use your own staff. But during the season. It’s team personnel only. That’s how s**t gets leaked.

    I have to wonder if AB and the trainer were planning to start their own Guerrero and Brady side business... Brady will make millions after he retires from that venture....

    Seriously, this team would be better offensively without him. He's a sulking, petulant child and on every passing down Ben has to try and force the ball to him even if he's doubled or he throws a temper tantrum on the sideline.
