Always has behaved as one. Cte is doubtful to cause all the long standing crimes he has been responsible for. Usually you have some time of normal behavior history prior to CTE. It’s the opposite for brown who never should have been allowed back on the field after the FELONY of forging and selling vax cards. Arians and Brady wanting him back says something about their character as well. This guy will end up in jail or unfortunately commit suicide or harm someone else. Yet they enable him by allowing him to continue to return to play. Let’s hope we never see him on the field again and he is forced to get help. There is no help apparently for organizations, and people like the coach and qb who fought to get this sociopath on the team because he can catch a football. He's always been a diva. CTE can cause erratic behavior. Marry the 2 and this is what you get. I'm not saying that CTE is soley responsible for his actions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look , why don’t you lie on your tax return and send in a known group of forged documents to support your return ! See how the law treats you. Those cards are federal documents now. I can’t send in a fake medical license to continue to practice medicine. Well , I can if I want to be fined heavily and lose my career. People are losimg careers over that now. I am NOT justifying it , but it is what it is , the LAW! I THINK that’s really what you mean and I get it. But I am just pointing out it’s the LAW NOW and that it won’t be treated as bogus if you or I break it ! That’s my point. People are losing jobs and being made examples of ( again , I think this is crazy ,,BUT the law is written). More importantly, are you thinking somehow Antonio browns behavior is ok , normal? He should have never been allowed back just based on all the prior cases / offenses against him like sexually attacking women or exposing himself in front of them etc. No one can defend that creep imo, and when teams / organizations keep enabling a sick person, it usually does not end well for them or their victims. Ignoring forging thise cards now is like ignoring the MINOR stealing from stores ; it has led to worse things and ignoring more of Browns illegal behavior will not make it better or go away.

I'm not saying that CTE is soley responsible for his actions. Forgery , stealing , sexual assault is not being a DIVA. Of course we won’t know if he has any CTE until his autopsy. But his behavior is similar to thousands of criminals who have never played football. I’m just saying he has a long history , documented in his family history , of Aberrant behavior and certainly by signing him the Bucs are also signing off on him not having significant CTE now. If there was any suspicion or evidence of it , he would never clear the physicals because if a team signed him knowing that , they would be legally responsible for all medical care costs the remainder of his life plus other damages for allowing him to continue to endanger himself. Some people are sociopaths without ever setting foot on a football field. Sorry , I just feel strongly about all the people this guy has hurt and then a football organization enables it yet again. That disgusts me. Also, if you are concerned about him having CTE, shouldn’t you be even more upset that they are exposing him to exacerbating it? My whole point was just he should not be playing football in the NFL , and he continues to do illegal things. Playing more for the Bucs won’t make him better in any fashion, neither will ignoring written laws. 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalftimeAdjustment Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Honestly, Internet folks' remote diagnoses of mental illness and/or CTE are really just hot takes. Actual mental health professionals are not supposed to offer diagnoses of people based upon news articles and media reports. Having said that, I am very open to the idea that he has mental health issues. But, isn't it possible to BOTH be a jerk/criminal and ALSO have mental health issues? I vote "all of the above" on AB.

Punching Bag Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 AB reminds me of a former TE of the cheats who died "innocent" since he was appealing his conviction when he hanged himself. 14 minutes ago, Warcodered said: CGI. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelius Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I'd take AB over Gore or just about anybody in these weird boxing matches that are becoming popular. We know it's inevitable. He's about 5+ years younger than most of the the ex-athletes competing and Deron Williams handled Gore pretty easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to post a link or something specific if I’m missing something. I can personally say in his early years in Pittsburgh he seemed like a great guy. My cousin is more than obsessed with the Steelers and AB always went out of his way to go above and beyond for the fans back then. He even recorded a the message for my cousins Voicemail, so when all the off the wall behavior started it definitely caught me off guard. Could be on to something with the Burfict hit having triggered some sort of negative CTE response… or maybe the guy just grew an ego and the fame/$$$ all went to his head. I mean he’s pressed the self destruct button how many times now? I think this time he finally did it, as far as his playing career goes. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba Gump Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I honestly don't think he has CTE. I just think he is a total ***** whackjob. He might go on a murderous rampage or become a serial rapist. Most of them guys don't have CTE. Most don't have the talent AB did, so they just started earlier. This guy is a total nut job and needs to be watched. Maybe Tommy will look over him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Boo Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 The heaviest thing I've seen regarding this situation. When it first happened, I told my best friend that I thought Antonio would be dead in 5 years. I hope I'm wrong. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelius Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 When you take a step back and view this whole thing through the lens of AB being a giant douche canoe rather than a poor brain damaged human being, it kind of starts to look like he planned this a bit, which I know sounds crazy, but we're talking about a crazy person here. He immediately uploaded new music hours after the "meltdown"? Had some viral cab driver with a big social media presence just waiting for him who's also streaming vids for clout? I don't know, it all seems a little bit set up considering the tik-tok age that we're in. Almost as if AB has a multi-million dollar offer to box a Paul brother or something in his back pocket. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Not sure if this was posted. But, agree with this take: https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-insider-notes-antonio-browns-disturbing-fall-from-grace-a-cause-for-concern-plus-more-from-week-17/ "My initial reaction was to mutter a "Slap Shot" joke under my breath, with Antonio Brown choosing to end his season – and career for that matter – by ripping his clothes off like in the final scene of that classic 1970s movie as the Charlestown Chiefs are in the midst of an all-out brawl during their mythical Federal Hockey League title game. But then I caught myself. There is nothing particularly funny in watching this individual, who has destroyed his own potential Hall of Fame career so many times -- often due to the horrible way in which he is willing to treat certain individuals -- put forth one last awkward cry for help in the most public way possible. Watching him storm from the sidelines, upset about being benched at a time when his finances are in poor shape and he is chasing more incentives, and begin a macabre dance of disrobing and chucking things into the stands before sauntering, shirtless, off the field and seemingly out of the stadium, is as jarring as it is sad. No athlete could dream of his playing career ending that way. It wasn't defiant or iconoclastic. It was sadly pathetic and continues a disturbing trend of behavior from someone who was once on a path to doing things only men like Jerry Rice had accomplished on a football field before. And one could argue that it was karma of sorts for the Bucs, who were willing to take on this object of score despite all of the allegations of sexual assault and abhorrent decisions, all in the name of chasing another Lombardi Trophy. You could say that they got what they had coming for welcoming him back after being caught using a fake vaccination card. All of that is fair. I wouldn't disagree. But it wouldn't make the specter of this fall from grace, this plummet from someone who once seemed headed for a very different sort of history, any less jolting. For this to be his final act ever in an NFL uniform, in all likelihood, is perversely somewhat fitting but it doesn't make it any less of a cause for serious concern about Brown's awareness and faculties and mental health. A diagnosis of some sort would not excuse any of his many mistakes, but it might further explain them. Tom Brady seemed genuinely concerned and worried for his teammate after the game. No one seemed particularly angry, at least in part because of how at risk this individual might be. He is clearly now beyond more chances in the NFL, but one hopes he is able to get another chance or two to turn his life around and make amends with those he has wronged and to find something else to provide whatever value playing football about as well as any wide receiver ever has to get him to this point. Ideally, this is the last time we hear about Antonio Brown and erratic behavior. And hopefully some member of the Bucs organization is a part of whatever turnaround is possible for him." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vontae wasn't trying to draw attention to himself with it, the most he did was use the notoriety from it to do an ad later. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
