Troy Polamalu wanted to hit Antonio Brown at practice

Brown reportedly started showing signs of his destructiveness in 2012, shortly after he received his first contract extension. During practice, Brown got into a shouting match with then-Steelers defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau, a beloved figure in Pittsburgh who was fiercely revered by his defensive players. Brown, according to a Yahoo Sports report, ruffled feathers before practice while saying that he was the new face of the franchise and that he shouldn't be touched during practice.
He then reportedly went after LeBeau after LeBeau tried to calm down tensions between Brown and his defense.
"Coming into the next practice, he just got his money, he cusses out Dick LeBeau," former Steelers safety and current ESPN analyst Ryan Clark said earlier this year, via ProFootballTalk.com. "Coach LeBeau, somebody who Troy [Polamalu], myself, James Farrior, all respected so much that anything he ever said, there's no reply. We almost got into a physical altercation that day, me and Antonio Brown. Because my thing was, this is not how we behave. This is not how we act. And for sure we don't talk to Coach LeBeau that way."
Pittsburgh's defense was so enraged that Polamalu, one of the most mild-mannered players you'd ever meet, wanted full reign to hit Brown during practice.
"I saw Troy get seriously pissed off maybe twice, and this was one of those two times," a source told Yahoo Sports. "Troy was so mad, he says to wide receivers coach Scottie Montgomery, 'The receivers are live [targets] the rest of this period.' Which was Troy's way of saying, 'We're going after this guy.'"

If the Patriots fail to reel him in, nobody is.

Further confirming that it’s not just “mental illness”.
He’s a fricking a-hole.

Yep.
this is it.
Brown may have hit the jackpot all things considered but if he blows this the XFL is about all he'll have left.

He's the biggest diva WR ever in my opinion. He's surpassed Keyshawn, Irvin, Moss, Ochocinco, and T-O

It’s amazing to me how the Steelers were able to somewhat keep this guy in check over the years.
Then they trade him to the Raiders, he goes all Flowers for Algernon and burns down the entire organization in one week.

Yup, sometimes the quiet, mild manner guy is someone you don’t want to frick with.

It's ridiculous that some posters want to chalk up his behavior to CTE. He's a personality disorder that can wreck everything around him when the stressors are right.

Polamalu is one of the biggest what if’s ever.
Sensational career from 03-08, then he got hurt in 09, and he never really was the same again. Struggled with staying healthy until he retired after the Steelers cut him.

I reserve that saying for guys that could have had HOF careers but came no where close due to injuries. Polamalu didn’t just come close, he’s very likely going to be in the HOF one day.
