He's a Rosenhaus client and will be a 2018 FA.

They've already formed their exit strategy.

He can play good cop to AB and bad cop to the press, and when AB speaks, he can say "yeah, we talked about it and we're moving forward, blah blah"
Agreed. All staged.

Belichick is a genius. They took "deflate and conquer" away, so he went for "divide and conquer". This is just Phase I. Phase II is when the Steelers' locker room is in such disarray that they lose the AFC Championship.

Phase III is when AB becomes a cancer to his team, is cut loose by the Steelers and joins the Patriots next season.

AB shouldnt have broadcasted the post game stuff, but i dont think tomlin is handling this well either



He has to do something to "punish" him publicly and he's obviously not suspending him. Strongly worded admonishment is fine.

Tomlin not taking responsibility for his own behavior.

He spent a segment talking about how Mike Tomlin is not Antonio Brown's boss because Brown makes more money.

He also said that Anotnio Brown is more valuable to the team than Tomlin.

Saying "assholes" and "frick" inside a football locker room?

Oh my god the horror.

And he actually did apologize for his language, which he shouldn't have to do.

Man, it's hard not to like Mike Tomlin. One of the few coaches with the balls to call out his star player, and I'm sure he did it in a way that will challenge Brown to perform, not bitch and moan

I feel like this is some sort of mind trick Tomlin is pulling on AB to have him mad and focused for this weekend.

He probably did not see Brown, as they could have been given day off. Just rehab and weights. As the coaches did film breakdown and study.




AB was probably on a boat in Miami

Obviously you didn't watch the interview. He took blame for content. Personally I would have said, "yeah I said it and I meant every word. I'm here to motivate my team so frick off."

Am I the only one that thinks this is stupid and Mike Tomlin is being a little harsh on AB?

He broke team rules and league rules by airing on FB live. Monetary fine and public lashing seems appropriate. It's not like he suspended?

If Tomlin would have kept in house everyone would be destroying him for losing control of the lockeroom. I have no problem with how he handled it.

frick that, the coach is in charge. Hold people accountable to the public and they have to be accountable.
