It’s official. Antonio Brown can’t be got, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Antonio Brown just wants to watch the world burn.

AB is continuing to embrace the role of villain to the entire football world, and even the city of Pittsburgh–the people who forgave his bullshit for eight years in favor of his transcendent talent–is not safe from his scorn.

Tuesday’s episode of Hard Knocks heavily featured Brown and all the drama that comes with him, and if there’s one thing that’s undoubtedly true, it’s that drama attracts eyeballs.

HBO announced on Wednesday that ratings in Pittsburgh for Tuesday’s episode were three times the national average.

AB took notice.

I’m not a Pittsburgh resident, but I’d be willing to guess that people aren’t tuning into the show because they miss you, they just can’t turn away from a good old fashioned car wreck.

This claim has been verified.

Anyone know the status of the helmet thing? Has he moved on to holding out over the league-mandated jock strap? I can’t keep up.

Matt’s love of writing was born during a sixth grade assembly when it was announced that his essay titled “Why Drugs Are Bad” had taken first prize in D.A.R.E.’s grade-wide contest. The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
