AB said someone else threw the furniture. I can't find a better article on the status of the lawsuit. Settled out of court perhaps? 

Yeah I dont remember the details. At the time it kind of sounded like a money grab by the plaintiff. I wouldn't be surprised if it was settled out of court.

IIRC Emanuel Sanders dissed Ben on the way out and Santonio Holmes may have as well. I’m giving AB the benefit of the doubt. He would be an ideal receiver for Josh Allen btw. I’ve never seen anything from AB on the field that would make me question his character.

I think Lorax and Shady can hold him down, but if reports are correct Poyer may have a problem

Can't win with garbage human beings at critical positions and certainly can't win when the aholes take themselves out of the lineup. Selfishness is actually just a lack of maturity, which is unsurprising from a WR. Pretty hilarious the lack of humility from a 6th round pick from the MAC who is who he is because he has a QB to get him the ball. Classic ignorant arrogance. Hope Roethlisberger retires and that tool can't play the remainder of his career with some real bums at QB. 

 

Love football, hate the NFL as an organization and I never root for players because of losers like this. Every week it's something with these immature babies. 

 

Just another in a long list of players I root against and won't feel bad next time he gets lit up.

Roethlisberger refused to play when perfectly healthy in the second half against the Raiders because he thought it'd be a fun idea to play chicken with Mike Tomlin. They lost the game.

 

add Pig Ben to your long list.

 

I don't think any of these guys beat puppies or anything. Not playing a game is selfish I don't know about garbage human beings!

Yeah I like Poyer too much to lose him for the dude that banged his wife.

 

Sorry AB I'd have taken you with open arms but I'm much more loyal to my hard partier Jordy Poyer.

Almost all top top tier WR 1 are divas and cause some level of issues. I wouldn't hesitate to give up a 2nd plus other picks for Brown.

I'm not saying it is right or wrong, but it won't happen with this HC.

 

Which is interesting, because part of coaching is to develop the players in all areas.  Now some players just aren't going to allow that.  That is what probably happened with Dareus after signing the big contract.  But we will never know how much effort McD put into coaching Dareus or was it pre-determined he was going to get rid of his contract.

No thanks.  I haven’t heard anyone vouch for this dudes character, but I have heard about how selfish and douchey he is. 

 

Former Steeler,  now turned ESPN analyst Ryan Clark was ripping Antonio Brown, saying he’s the guy who doesn’t show up to players camps and is nowhere to be found when there’s hundreds of kids at an event waiting to meet him.

The Madden Curse is Evolving! 

 

Tomlin needed to tighten his ship a long time ago. . Little insight into how they imploded down the stretch too. You see how this behavior can effect the whole team, which is why I love how this team is being built.

We don't need someone JA has to worry about because he didn't get enough touches. I don't see us passing 40+ times a game and his #'s will drop. Plus he's not a lockeroom fit. You don't bang someone's(Poyer) fiance and get respect from teammates. Apparently Poyer was cheating on his fiance 1st and karma is a ...but we just don't need this stuff in our locker room. No way do we bring him in.

Word spreading on Twitter is the possibility that the Steelers could trade Antonio Brown after his incident last week.

 

If you are a reciever needy team like the Bills, how much would you give up for Brown, perhaps one of the best WR’s in the NFL.  Also he played said he a QB that has similar attributes in Bigg Ben.

 

I will give Bill Barnwell credit:

 

He pointed out that under Brown’s deal, Pittsburgh would have to eat Darius levels of dead cap space ($21 Million) if they traded him.  Also if reports are true, I can’t see Brown being a McDermott/Beane guy.   So the whole thing could be moot.  

 

But if you are Brandon Beane, A.) do you try to trade for Antonio Brown and B.) how much would you be willing to give?

 

If Amari Cooper went for a #1, I think we are looking at a Khalil Mack type deal plus (2 #1’s, 1 #3, 1 #6)

Cooper is a lot younger than AB.  I would give Foster and a 2nd or a 2nd and 3rd this year and 4th next.

I'd happily hand over a 1st round pick if I thought he and Poyer could coexist.

 

He immediately legitimizes the team's passing game.

 

But I don't think McDermott would do it, nor do I think Pittsburgh will end up moving on from him. He and Ben need each other.

Pass on this self-centered Prima Donna.  Locker room cancer in its purest form.  

 

After KB can’t see McD doing it again. And Brown is too old to be part of OBD rebuild already underway. 

 

OBD will use draft for new #1 type WR

Zero. A whiny malcontent on a team that feeds him the ball moving to a team with a second year QB? That'd work out real well. Ryan Clark ripped him a new one and it's some stunning insight into this locker room cancer. Let him be someone else's problem. I would never want to have a guy like this on a team, ever. Give me the slightly less productive team leader all day.

Earlier this year, Jordan Poyer had just married the love of his life, Instagram model Rachel Bush, only for things to go downhill in July after she found out he was cheating on her. This was just months after Rachel Bush allegedly cheated on Poyer—with Steelers WR Antonio Brown, according to at least one Twitter user.

Antonio Brown is an elite talent. However, he is the anthesis of everything that McDermott stands for within his team concept and locker room mesh. If he acquired Brown he would be undercutting his credibility on what he stands for and what he publicly preaches. When the pulpit loses it's credibility the people in the pews stop paying attention! As Nancy Reagan said: Just say no!

The love of his life? Lmao...things can change pretty quick these days. He married her cause she was hot. Any dude that marries a woman who cheats on him right before their wedding deserves what he gets. That is such a beta move...
