News broke on how Hard Knock is doing crazy ratings in Pittsburgh and the local media there are doing a lot of Antonio Brown stories.

Perhaps you’re basking in the schadenfreude of the circus the Raiders have become. Perhaps you’re hate-clicking. Perhaps you’re still a fan. Regardless of your reason, you’re still following him closely. He is newsworthy here, more so than just about anywhere else.
