The 2nd of January of 2022, Bucs WR Antonio Brown played his last NFL game vs the Jets
Once again, Antonio Brown has found himself in the public attention for his opinions. On the same day the NFL announced the Pro Bowl selections, the former wide receiver took to X (Twitter) to post a controversial take about a historic selection for the Baltimore Ravens.
Ravens rookie Zay Flowers made history as he became the franchise's first wide receiver to earn a Pro Bowl spot. However, former Steelers' WR created a debate by claiming the honor should have gone to Jaguars rookie receiver Brian Thomas Jr.
Fans were quick to recall his final NFL appearance which was two years ago from today. Brown abruptly left the field mid-game, removing his jersey and exiting shirtless the game against the New York Jets. The incident marked the end of his time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the end of his NFL career, and it remains as one of the most iconic moments in recent NFL history.

What is CTE? Is a degenerative brain disease, which is a disease that gradually damages and destroy parts of the nervous system, especially areas of the brain. The most famous case in football is the Aaron Hernández', after analyzing his brain after he commit suicide in jail.
It is most frequently found in contact sport athletes and military veterans. Data from the Concussion Legacy Foundation shows that CTE has been found in individuals whose primary exposure to head impacts was through tackle football, the military, hockey, boxing, rugby, soccer, and amateur wrestling.
Antonio Brown was once the best wide receiver in the NFL. A four-time All-Pro, seven-time Pro Bowler, and a member of the NFL's 2010s All-Decade Team, his presence on field madehim one of the most electrifying players of his era. However, the past years have been so different that every NFL fan remember.
Brown's troubles began after a huge contact by Bengals player Vontaze Burfict in the play-offs of the 2016. After that some of their teammates argue that Brown started to act different.
At the end of the 2018 season he clashed with Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and requested a trade. This came after an incident where he threw patio furniture from a 14th-floor apartment window, nearly injuring a child.
His trade to the Oakland Raiders only escalated the chaos, as he missed training camp due to frostbite from a cryotherapy mishap and fought the NFL over helmet regulations. Brown's tenure in Oakland ended before it began, as he was released following a confrontation with the team's general manager.
Antonio Brown's career became a cycle of comebacks and controversies. After his turbulent departure from the Oakland Raiders, where he also attempted to sue the NFL over helmet regulations, he joined the New England Patriots. However, his tenure with the Patriots lasted less than a month due to allegations of sexual assault by a former trainer.
What followed was a carousel of retirements and unretirements, with Brown briefly stepping away from the NFL before receiving an eight-game suspension for violating the league's personal conduct policy. His return with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers saw a bit of his former talent, as he contributed to their Super Bowl victory.

Legal issues, such as an altercation with a moving-truck driver, and a trespass warning from a youth football league, continued to mark his reputation.
The problems came to a crucial point with two significant incidents: using a fake vaccine card and his dramatic mid-game exit during a matchup against the Jets, which would ultimately mark the end of his NFL career.

Antonio needs help. He has probably had some level of untreated brain damage since that on field collision in 2016. Under most current laws, he cannot be forced to seek treatment for a prolonged period if he doesn’t want to.
Another player jumped the shark a few years ago.
It’s been at least 6 months since I’ve read about C. Kaepernick demanding/ begging to be given a Quarterback position on a major American team.
I’m thinking even Colin has finally got it that those days are long over.
So why isn’t he seeing a neurologist who specializes in brain injury? Now that he’s off the fantasy teams no one cares. Feel sorry for him. He needs help...all we get is some reiterated AI generated bunch of words with some persons byline....
....tell us more about Sofie Vergara....
Or maybe it's something in the water i Pittsburgh, because they are on their their third talented, but crazy receiver now. Pickens hasn't gotten as crazy as Brown yet, but who knows.
Diontae Johnson forced himself traded from the Steelers earlier in 2024, and by the end of 2024 he was on his fourth team of the year, and the third team of the season.
That seems more like a closed head injury than CTE.

Is she working on a double feature?
That AI hand is freaking me out. You can always pick out AI by looking at the hands.
Antonio Brown did some campaigning for Trump. I felt bad for him when he got frostbite in a few toes from using a cryo chamber.... This put him out of commission for a while
“It’s been at least 6 months since I’ve read about C. Kaepernick demanding/ begging to be given a Quarterback position on a major American team.”
This maggot got $10 million from the NFL. He sued them for teams colluding not to hire him.
Having dealt with several people with concussion issues…they don’t get treatment because they don’t realize they need treatment. It’s pretty common with mental disorders.
Worthless without pictures. Of Sofia, to be clear.
I have never imagined, and never read, a more poorly constructed story that this disorganized rambling accumulation of unrelated words.
Antonio Brown had all the talent in the world. He self-destructed. I really believe he suffers from some form of mental illness.
And Zay Flowers is NOT a rookie - he is in his second season.
Look closer. It's not A.I.
She has one of those round handles a lot of people use on their phones.
However, I also look at the hands to see if it's A.I.
I looked very closely and it is AI, probably applied to a real photo. The strap usually does not pass through the middle of a real human’s hand.
The strap is on her shoulder, behind her hand.
LOL. Maybe if you looked at the hand instead of at her titties, you would know that hand is not normal.
