Antonio Brown strips in EZ and retires mid game? Edit: and now feuding with Bucs

[Behindenemylines]

There is a difference between being mentally ill and being Narcissistic which is a personality problem (diagnosed or not). 
 

I have zero sympathy for him because he has had chance after chance.  Sometimes an ####### is just an #######.

Blows my mind that Bell and brown had great careers there just to piss it away.

Brown played 9 seasons in Pittsburgh and made $70M there.  I agree that he could have made a fair bit more money in the years since if he had kept it all together, but he did have a long and lucrative run there.  It wasn’t the same situation as Bell.

Just because he’s rich doesn’t mean we shouldn’t empathize.  This is a sad situation.  We simply do not treat mental health issues well in this country.  He’s clearly sick and in need of help and it could end really poorly.

Have you tried to help an adult with mental issues? Nothing you can do. Most people try at first than give up. I know. He surely had had way more chances than most people.

 

And while it's bad we can't help them more, it's better this way then force somebody against their will to get treatment as the abuse potential would be way too great. 

[Doc]

I’d say that’s far worse than what Vontae Davis did.  So there’s that. 

[BaaadThingsMan]

The man needs help and I hope he gets it this time.

 

In all seriousness he should check himself in somewhere and just decompress.

 

Let this all wash over him, because it could get really ugly in his life if he doesn't. IMO

So glad the Bills refused to pay this clown guaranteed money. What a waste of a career and maybe a life. He needs help.

Vernon Butler, watch closely ... halftime against the Jets is obviously the optimal moment. But you can leave your jersey on.

Weird how anyone who exhibits negative behavior is labeled mentally ill these days. Maybe he is, maybe he isn’t. I wish him the best regardless.

Difference between “negative” and “directly and consistently adverse to your own obvious best interests.”

Yes, I agree....the thin line between mental instability and being an ####### has become quite blurred. I seriously do think Brown is mentally unstable though.

True. But nobody called Vontae Davis mentally ill. They called him things like "bad teammate" but not things like mentally ill.

Watch the video. Losing interest in one's profession and walking out in the middle of a workday happens all the time. Taking off your work uniform and strutting around a crowd of 70,000 flapping your arms like an idiot is ... special.

I legitimately do not think he knows the difference between right and wrong behavior right now - he seems to be sick.

He's been a headcase for longer than that

He definitely did not have the public issues before then.  Unless that was just the Steelers keeping things quiet while they wanted him there, his real problems started after 2016 when he took that hit from Burflict.

I think the comment may be getting at this:

Did he quit in this flamboyant manner because he's a narcissist?

Or did he quit in this flamboyant manner because he has narcissistic personality disorder.

The moral judgement and the diagnosis are identical here. The only difference is the use of the active vs. the passive voice. My English teachers always favored the former. So do I.

Well quite, but I meant stop at the top half. 

[The Frankish Reich]

If we labeled this Diva Wide Receiver Disorder it would have exactly the same explanatory power as labeling it Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

See, e.g., Owens, Terrell; Brown, Chad "Ochocinco."

Did the defense player get hurt ramming his head into that rock?

Reminds me of Washington QB which head butted FG post and got a concussion.

Hopefully this ends his embarrassing journey through the NFL.  Just go away AB.  No one cares anymore.

Why?

Tom Brady tweets something cryptic about understanding him or getting him help. Fine. But if AB is suffering from a mental illness, shouldn't they be treating him the same as a player with a physical illness? I mean, we don't cut a guy immediately after a game if he's suffering from a broken leg or cancer. If Brady thinks AB needs help and that his behavior is explained by mental illness, the correct response would be to treat it the same as any other illness. We've seen notable cases in MLB where that's exactly what was done:

I don't see any daylight between Arians' view and Brady's view. Brady is talking a good game about "getting help," but he's acting in a way that supports a coach cutting a player with huge disciplinary issues.

Guy needs help. Wonder what set him off

How many times has a guy quit on his team mid game?  Good riddance to him, if he wasn’t such a scumbag off the field I might feel a little bad for him.  Can’t wait to see his 20/20 when he’s in prison or bankrupt.
