Does this surprise anyone??
The Pittsburgh Steelers are readying themselves for a playoff game this weekend with the New England Patriots, but are dealing with a bit of a distraction right now.
Wide receiver Antonio Brown has come under fire for using Facebook Live in the locker room during a Mike Tomlin speech to the team following the win over the Kansas City Chiefs and it has sparked debate all across the sports world. The Cincinnati Bengals were caught in the crossfire.
Michael Wilbon and Tony Kornheister discussed the Brown situation, where Wilbon took a strange and probably inaccurate shot at the Bengals.
Here is the exchange, via Cincinnati.com.
Kornheiser: "Do you see this affecting Antonio Brown's future in Pittsburgh?"
Wilbon: "This alone, no. But if Antonio Brown decides that he's going to be the poster child for diva receivers, then yeah. I mean, because Pittsburgh, they tolerate less of this than most franchises. Some places, you know, they suspend, they fine you. Cincinnati, they don't even seem to blink. But in Pittsburgh, they say, "Young man," like they did to Mike Wallace and Santonio Holmes, "There's the door." You can go play elsewhere. We can find another guy like you. And I think that position, Tony, it lends itself to behavior. T.O. - who is fun for us, but for a team? If Brown continues along this path, they'll tell him to get out."
By all accounts, the Bengals do not have a diva receiver on the roster right now and this has not been an issue, but it is another example of national hosts not being able to resist themselves in taking shots.
