You might not like Antonio Brown as a person, but that doesn’t change that a lot of the things he says are facts.
It is a fact that Bruce Arians never wanted Antonio Brown on the team. We know that as a fact because Arians himself has said that. They have beef going all the way back to their Steelers. The other fact is that Arians told Brown to get the f*ck off the field after AB told him his ankle was bothering him.
We know that is a fact because Arians admitted that. He claims AB told him it was because he wasn’t getting targets, but the information we have and how the Bucs moved afterward doesn’t bear that out.
During the Bucs-Eagles game, you saw Joe Buck multiple times say that AB walked away from the team. That was a lie. It was a media manipulation to make you think AB quit on the Bucs. You can disagree with how AB left the field, and even AB says he could have handled that better, but when you are dealing with cause and effect, you have to tell the truth.
If Arenas didn’t tell him to get the f*ck off the field, AB would have stayed on the bench and possibly tried to get back in the game.
Those are facts.
Brown has been on a media tour telling his side of the story, and he stopped by Brandon Marshall’s “I am Athlete” podcast, where they had a frank discussion about numerous topics. Marshall told him to his face he should have handled it differently because he is trying to get to the Hall of Fame and trying to get another massive contract.
To AB’s credit, he seems open to listening to other sides and differing opinions as long as you respect his.
Flip the pages for the clip, you will learn more about AB’s relationship with Arians. The full episode drops on January 24th.
