Antonio Brown ‘no longer a Buc,’ coach says, after WR leaves Buccaneers in middle of game vs. Jets

Antonio Brown’s penchant for antics reared its head once more on Sunday, and it has cost him his job with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Less than two weeks after the end of his three-game suspension for using a fraudulent COVID-19 vaccine card, the Buccaneers wide receiver removed his uniform, pads and more Sunday before leaving the field of play topless in the middle of the third quarter as his team trailed the New York Jets. Coach Bruce Arians said Brown won’t be part of the team going… Source link

Antonio Brown to reportedly rejoin Bucs on Monday

Lessons on Antonio Brown’s vaccine fiasco

Antonio Brown taught us a few things last week. First, COVID-19 vaccination cards are nowhere near the foolproof passport we’ve treated them to be.  Second, if someone is determined to refuse a mandate to get a shot, obtaining some slick documentation to evade it isn’t that hard.  Third — and this was the detail that undercut Brown and two other players in the NFL’s investigation — eliminating loose strings in your story goes a long way toward “misrepresenting” your vaccination… Source link

Antonio Brown has power in Bucs’ vaccination mess

Bruce Arian says he’s pissed off. It makes for a good sound bite in the wake of two players lying to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers about their COVID-19 vaccination status. But wideout Antonio Brown and safety Mike Edwards are still on Arians’ roster today, which is a place neither would be if anyone in power actually wanted them gone.

Antonio Brown suspension for vaccine status was avoidable

You’d think Antonio Brown might learn his lesson this time, but if past is precedent, he won’t. Because yet again, thanks to his own arrogance, selfishness and general disdain for people he hires to do work for him, he has landed himself in trouble.  And it’s costing him a hell of a lot more than it would have had he simply settled the debt a former employee says Brown owes him. This is who Antonio Brown is. He’s an egotistical louse, a deadbeat, someone accused multiple times of domestic… Source link
