Antonio Brown Fires Back At Ben Roethlisberger On Twitter, Tells Him To ‘Shut Up’ And Claims They Were Never Friends

Antonio Brown’s beef with Ben Roethlisberger continues.

Earlier this year, Brown demanded a trade out of Pittsburgh after getting into a heated exchange with QB Ben Roethlisberger in practice.

Former NFL wide receiver and current NFL Network analyst James Jones went on the record to say that he had heard from multiple Steelers players that Roethlisberger’s constant belittling of Brown reached a boiling point during that final Steelers practice.

“I have talked to a couple people in the Pittsburgh Steelers organization and they told me this has been lingering on,” Jones said. “I’ve been told in meetings [Roethlisberger] would take shots at AB. Like, ‘I don’t got to throw you the ball,’ and things like that. Wednesday in practice, I heard he ran the wrong route, Big Ben threw the ball on the ground, said, ‘Get him out of here. Get somebody else in there,’ and that’s when AB was at his boiling point and that’s when he went off.”

Brown would go on blast Roethlisberger on social media and during media appearances for having an “owner’s mentality”.

On Sunday, Roethlisberger sat down with NBC’s Michelle Tafoya and says he regretted calling out Brown in practice because it “ruined a friendship”.

Brown saw the clip of Roethlisberger’s interview and immediately fired back with this tweet.
