Antonio Brown and Tom Brady Beef Continues
PITTSBURGH -- Long after both of them have completed their playing days, former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown and his teammate from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tomy Brady are fighting.
Brown, who played for the New England Patriots and Buccaneers after leaving the Steelers, rehashed his infamous 2022 stunt in New York, when he took off his pads and jersey midgame against the Jets and ran to the locker room. It marked the end of his time in Tampa Bay.
Brown had told the team that he was not feeling physically ready to play in the game and claims that Brady got him to play by promising to find him with the ball early and often.
“Tom called me like ‘Yo this week man the Jets man, they sweet man imma hit you with like 10 to 12.’" Brown said on Tyreek Hill's podcast It Needed to Be Said. "So, he gonna gas me up so you know me, that’s all I need to hear like yo you gonna throw me the ball, this is like me saying like I got a new crib like you know me, you know what I’m saying.”
That week, Brown was told Brady's trainer refused to work with him and said he felt "treated like a dog." Tensions boiled over when Brown felt Brady wasn't getting him the touches that were promised.
“You don’t want to throw me the ball and you making me like I’m crazy, so, I was like, 'I’m crazy, f— all you m————, I’m out of here.'” Brown said about his decision to leave the game.
He ran off the field and got into an altercation with Bucs coach Bruce Arians along the way before posing for the crowd and running off the field. Brady initially defended Brown, but it still led to Brown's release from the team and the effective end of his NFL career.
