Thursday's Hot Clicks: The Antonio Brown Saga Keeps On Rolling (Now With Singing!)
As the AB turns
The saga of Antonio Brown has spun out at impressive speed. Just in the last few days, we've learned that Brown didn't play in Pittsburgh's season finale because he got into a fight with Ben Roethlisberger after more or less skipping the game itself, followed by a supposed trade request from Brown to the Steelers. Wednesday brought us a press conference from head coach Mike Tomlin in which he denied those trade reports but didn't exactly sound thrilled with his Pro Bowl receiver. How did Brown respond?
And then he joined former teammate and noted Tomlin hater James Harrison to talk about life, and went on Instagram to call former teammate Ryan Clark an Uncle Tom for saying the Steelers should trade Brown.
But at least Brown didn't do anything else to fan the flames, right?
Oh, well. But at least his day was quiet aside from all of that, right?
Yeah, it was a weird one for Antonio Brown. But at least he also melted this dude's brain on Twitter.
