Antonio Brown To The Raiders- Steelers Get Screwed!

[Whatever]

Ben is no angel and he has a sizable ego too. But Brown is 100% at fault here. Brown has been acting up all season. This just didn't happen the last week of December. It was largely covered up by the team, but Brown walked out on them 3 times this year. He left training camp (he says that it was to go to Florida to get treatment), he skipped the first half of the week after the KC game after that blow up, and then the last week of the season. 

Brown is the only Steeler to not stay with the team during training camp. Everyone pairs up in dorm rooms at St Vincents College like college kids. AB rents a house in Latrobe. Talk about "special treatment."

Many players have reported in the past that AB is consistently late for meetings (thats why he was going 100 in a 40), and often times blows them off altogether. Cant remember who, but one player said that he comes in late and everyone is pissed, but he's got that big smile and knows how to play them, and they usually just chalk it up to AB being AB. 

Ryan Clark pinned him as a problem in 2012 after he yelled at Dick LeBeau during practice because one the the DBs, Kennan Lewis, bumped while covering him during practice. 

Dude was a total malignancy. And don't think for a minute that he's going to all of the sudden change and behave and be a model citizen since he got his new guaranteed money in Oakland. He may play nice for a year or so, but this WILL surface again. 

Brown has been out of hand for years, supposedly.  The Steelers dug their own grave by covering it up and giving him multiple extensions.  It's funny, because the Steelers try to present themselves as this my way or the highway organization, but their complete lack of any kind of backbone in this case is pathetic.  AB slapped Tomlin and the Rooney's in the mouth repeatedly and dared them to do something about it, and in the end they just slunk away with their tails between their legs.

Ben is a tool, as well, and has had numerous issues with coaches and players, but he doesn't seem to be as big of an issue.  However, with the rape allegations, he kind of has to at least appear to tow the line.  Still, the organization itself has admitted double standards when it comes to Ben, and as long as that continues, other players are going to push for preferential treatment.
