It’s been an absolutely wild few weeks for Antonio Brown, who was expected to play an active role in Raiders camp before he was sidelined with a bizarre injury he suffered while undergoing cryotherapy.
Shortly after he made the world collectively vomit by posting a picture of his frostbitten feet, Brown decided to go full diva when he threw a fit after being informed his helmet of choice was no longer approved by the NFL, and while he denied reports that he threatened to retire over the issue, the ongoing saga seems far from being over.
As if that wasn’t enough, the wide receiver found himself at the receiving end of a $38,000 lawsuit filed by Stefano Tedeschi (who goes by “The Sports Chef”), who claims he was stiffed after being hired to provide his services to Brown and his high-profile friends during this year’s Pro Bowl.
We didn’t have many details concerning the situation when the news initially broke but Tedeschi recently sat down with TMZ to discuss the situation and revealed the bizarre origins of the dispute, which would sound too absurd to be true if this wasn’t Antonio Brown that we’re talking about.
The chef said he was hired to both cook and put on a demonstration for Brown and his fellow partygoers, and after showing them the proper way to deconstruct a fish, he placed the head in the freezer so he could eventually use it to make a stock.
However, Tedeschi claims that someone stumbled upon the frozen fish head at some point during the night and jumped to the perfectly rational and reasonable conclusion that it was meant to send the same message as the horse’s head from The Godfather.
Tedeschi said he was supposed to cook for the former Steeler and his crew for four days but was banned from entering the house where he left his supplies after the fish head was discovered, and now, it appears Browns team is gearing up for the least necessary court battle in history.
The chef closed out the interview by suggesting Brown’s behavior may be the result of taking too many hits to the head, and while he might not be able to prove it, this only adds to an already convincing argument.
