Injuries are part of the game right? Don't go over the middle *****.

Also, saying guys are trying to take him out because they don't think they can shut him down(paraphrasing) rings kinda hollow because in the game in question, he was pretty much shut down.

Well except he didn't say *exactly* what you guys said he did..."paraphrasing" or not:

Quote:Speaking on NFL Network's Super Bowl HQThursday morning, Brown said that defenders like Burfict (who received a three game suspension) are trying to take him out of the game.


"It's unfair, unfortunately," Brown said of not being able to play versus the Broncos. "But that is where I'm at now. Guys don't want to stop me, guys want to kill me and take me out of the game."

Not they "can't" rather they'd rather take him out than stop him.

Quote:Following the game, Bengals corner Adam Joneswent on the Dan Patrick Show and said he "knew" Brown "was faking" the injury. On Thursday, A.B. retorted that no response from Jones or theBengals surprised him.


"I was a little upset about it all, but nothing surprised me," he said. "I know the position I'm in. Guys are going to try and take me out, but I got to be able to overcome it all and not let those type of things affect me."


Jones tried to apologize for his comments after Brown missed the Divisional Round, but the receiver had no interest in talking to the corner.
"Not at all, I think he texted me, but I was really upset," Brown said when asked if he talked to Jones. "A guy goes on national TV and says I'm an actor towards anything that regards the game. I'm a true professional. I don't play no acting games and I take pride in my work and being a professional."

Seems like AB takes the game more seriously than Jones?  

Quote:On Thursday, Brown was asked on the Dan Patrick Show what he would say about Burfict. "He's an idiot," he replied. "In that situation Burflict and Pacman Jones cost them the game, from the hit to the personal foul, allowed us to make the field goal and advance to the next round."

To be fair he called him an idiot for costing the team the game, along with Jones.

Quote:Missing Brown -- the top receiver in the NFL in 2015 -- disrupted a high-flying Steelers offense versus the Broncos, but the wideout won't play the what-if game all offseason.



"That's always going to be a thought we got to live with all offseason," he said. "What if I could have played or if we could have done anything different to have our guys back who were injured? But we don't make excuses...we'll be ready and excited for 2016."

Wow.  It seems AB is better at getting over it than the Bengals fans.
