Arians himself put AB on the injury report. He can’t say he didn’t know about the injury

Yet that's what he did after the game. He tried to make it seem like AB was a case of insubordination, instead of injury.

This is a big issue.

When Arians lies about that when every knew AB had an ankle issue, it makes it believable that he did in fact attempt to cut him for not playing and if he did he is the one at fault for the circus

That’s the best he could come up with? After days to think about it and a legal team to help? Better off just saying “sorry”.

this was my hunch. AB is probably mostly right in what he is saying here but there is something else that led up to it that he is leaving out.

Didn't Arians say in the press conference after the game that he only talks about players who are on the team? And that he's not going to talk about Brown because he's not a Buc? Sounds like someone got cut from the team on the sideline.




Sounds like AB quit in the middle of a game.

eta: he is also blaming Brady for working with Alex G

Arians screwed himself. It's going to be funny watching everyone eat their words on AB (even though we all know he's crazy) because this is on Arians and he can't do what he just did.




Right. The ones defending Antonio Brown for stripping down and walking off the field in the middle of a game, then doing his usual batshit insane antics on Twitter or whatever, are the ones who will look good in this situation.

You nailed it bro.

ETA: And now he’s throwing Brady, who’s gone to bat for him multiple times, under the bus.

That text helps Arians. What a moron.

He says he wants him with them if he CAN play.

Obviously AB represented before the game he could.

It’s particularly delusional considering Arians has had this guy’s back from Day 1. He took a lot of heat for not cutting him after the vaccination fiasco alone and praised him as a professional as he rejoined the team.

AB’s beyond repair yet Arians is an issue here? Lunacy.

Arians deserves just as much flak as AB because he's the one who put him on the team in the first place knowing he's a headcase.

Given Antonio Brown's history, I'm less-inclined to believe anything he says.

But let's say I give him the benefit of the doubt, and assume he is telling the complete truth. He still went about it the wrong way. If he were to simply sit out of the game, and remained on the sideline, none of this story happens, and chances are he would still be on the team. Or hell, even if he did decide he wanted to quit right then and there, if he quietly walked off the field to the locker room. The assumption would be that he's going there for an injury, and again, none of this hoopla occurs. In any case, there was zero reason for Antonio to go out the way he did. He did that 100% because he wanted the attention. He wanted every single tv camera and cell phone camera in the stadium pointed on him.

I strongly seriously doubt Arians cut him from the team in the middle of the game. What likely happened is he told Antonio that he is done for the game, and Antonio took that the wrong way.

I don't understand how Antonio Brown thinks this makes Alex Guerrero look bad.

That not only makes Guerrero look like a decent person, it has...absolutely nothing to do with his purging. He's lost it. Why he's throwing shade on TB and his contingent when he's been nothing but supportive to him even after Sunday's tirade is insane.

He's unhinged. Hopefully he can get help before he hurts himself or someone else.

Buccaneers are releasing Antonio Brown today, league sources tell ESPN. He is, as Bruce Arians proclaimed Sunday, no longer a Buc.

If his ankle was that painful then why was he jumping off the field without any sort of limp.
