#AntonioBrown
So for those of you criticizing me for "Regurgitating AB content" I was waiting for the drama surrounding him to end to make a high quality documentary on him. Which showed his moments in the early part of his career. This isn't a news video. Its a career overview on one of the greatest rags to riches stories, and a cautionary tale. I hope you guys enjoy because I have plenty of other content to bring you all this week. This just took a long time to put together.

@@FishSlapped172 u don’t spend time making vids how are u talking
@@FishSlapped172 ah since your an expert and make vids or shorts you tell me who to watch 🤡
It’s not just AB bro I loved ya journalism even last year but the Jackson mahomes vids the “giveaways” the two Brady vids. Just seems like a lot of talking without sayin much to get to those 10 mins. Still would rather watch n support you than ESPN n shit but I would say the criticism is very valid
dude you make some dope ass shit
Naw bruh you good. You're a journalist and you are all covering this story. Was a great video too. Know your haters man lol. You know youre doing good work. Do let the junior varsity get in your head :-)
This video definitely gives me a better perspective of AB’s history. Great research and editing.
Idk man I still don’t get it
Oh he was a turd LONG before the big hit , kicked a punter in the face/neck ( punter made a low move too early , ab could’ve just easily ran around him)
He may have been a cocky little jerk before that hit, but nobody will ever convince me that what Burfict did to him didn't seal his fate. I have more than 30yrs of medical knowledge and when I seen that hit I knew instantly he would never be the same person when he regained consciousness. It's a shame too,, very talented player.
@@denisejudd5832 idk I still do not get itv
Ummm there’s way more to this story. That Mike is leaving out completely unfortunately. He didn’t grow up in Florida. He went to Florida to be recognized. Which was the smart move. He chose to sleep on those couches bc he couldn’t listen and behave. Honestly one of the worst humans I’ve ever met.
He is still a very gifted athlete. It’s too bad things worked out the way it did. I truly believe he might be a big part of why the Bucs aren’t NFC champions and heading to the SB.
Had to be the only wat to seal the Rams W.. its easily scripted
Probably why Brady retired too there’s no hope of another SB
No doubt. They are short of wide receivers. Godwin is out because of injury and Brown quits.
They won it without him and were one game away from going again🤷♂️
Man got ISSUES.
He's always had some diva and ego problems, but I don't think it's a coincidence that he self imploded after the Burfict hit. CTE is all too real and I hope he finds help for not only his sake, but his kids as well. It would be an amazing comeback story
It’s 100% possible to be a good team player despite having the ego of a diva. I’m sure there are plenty of players to this day that fit this description and are still able to cooperate with the team.
But throw in CTE, and suddenly things become very different.
I agree that his ego was always there, but I believe that it was the CTE that made AB unable to mask it / turn it off for the sake of the team.
@@Kaiserboo1871 Oh yeah no doubt, I couldn't agree more. Honestly I think to play at that high of a level you have to have some level of that in you to begin with.
See I disagree he was never a diva till later in his career as those head injuries piled up
100.
You read my mind. That was just a kickstart for what was to come. It may have made it worse, but he would have been another T.O, reguardless
I'm 100% convinced that head trauma is the reason he's completely different now. I suffered a severe concussion about 11 years ago and it was hell. It changed me. I had almost no short term memory for 2 years. To this day, I don't remember much during that 2 year period other than being depressed. If AB had multiple concussions (after the first, it's much easier to have more), his brain is damaged. Maybe not permanently, but definitely for a few years. I feel bad for him and hope he gets better.
If only people could see football through your eyes they might have more respect for the players who play through injuries that would have us bedridden.
my sister just said "he was always just messed up" as if the hit did nothing
YOUR issues, as unfortunate as they are, doesn't justify Brown's erratic behavior. Lot's of athletes experience similar head trauma & don't start acting like total jerks: It's what's within, & it was who he was. The women in his life BEFORE that one hit in a game could prolly testify to that.
Nobody talking about how ol' girl put him on blast for only lasting 30 seconds during sex. 😂 Couple of strokes in that 🐱 & he 🍆💦
I would say so too but I also think maybe money got to him as well. For sure certain instances seem to be cte related.
As a 65 year old, lifetime, Steelers fan, I find this documentary quite touching. Many fans are too fanatical, and don't see things as they are. Antonio Brown will always be one of my favorite players. I have been concerned about his mental health since 2017. This video answers many questions and provides closure for me. I hope he gets the help he needs and that he doesn't hurt anyone.
As a Steelers fan... terrific doc, Mike.
Unbelievably sad. But terrific.
I salute your whole team on this one. Great job.
I just hope and pray he doesnt end up like Mike Webster and Justin Strellzig ( I am not sure of the spelling).
@NemainRising34 Dude, the Steelers should have started that search at least 4 years ago! 😂
You guys going to be hurting too if Russ decides to leave... man are things changing fast in the NFL - next season, we're all going to be in a completely different league FR.
Wreck it AB!!!
Well if the racism of Pittsburgh fan base. Wasn't so bad than Brown would have been crazy. Its people like yours fault.
I agree this is a great doc because it's a human interest story as much as it's a football story...and I'm not even a football fan anymore
This is such a sad story. I always liked AB, but man does this guy have some issues. I just hope he gets the help he needs and soon. Great work Mike. Probably the best vid yet.
man y’all overreact, people just don’t understand him. yeah he can be selfish at times and has some questionable decision making. but i don’t think you, me, or the next guy are qualified to say whether or not another man has “serious issues” and “needs help”.
@@richnicka Man look at anything he’s done.
@@ryanlater13 what exactly has he done? And i don’t want to hear about mental issues, because all of that talk is strictly speculation, no facts.
It's not a sad story he's still with us God willing, he can get help..
@@jjamlaing507 Yes it is lol.
My Father and I, have always been fans of Antonio Brown. Always commented on his dedication, work ethic, politeness, and how clean-cut he was. A true role model. Would compare him to Jerry Rice on how he would always keep his uniform so clean and how he was one of the greatest to play the game. Then that hit... a different Antonio came back after that hit. We will always admire this young man, and thank him for the great highlights and awesome games. We will keep him in our prayers, and wish him well in his future.
you must have seen a different player than everyone else
Non football players have no concept of the extreme violence in professional football. These people are men among boys sacrificing their bodies on a daily basis.
That hit ended the Bengals playoff run, It is still the most illegal hit I ever seen in my 60 years.
bro drop kicked a punter before he got hit lol
This is the same Antonio Brown that he's always been according to his own family. I think they'd know better than anyone else.
AB in his prime, when his head was screwed on was one of the best WR ever. He was still a problem at the end of his career with Brady. Just a brilliant player. Sad how it all went down hill.
Don't you ever compare this tool to the likes of rice or owens or even moss he was a schmuck
Wish the Steelers still had him.
😊@@tomcarey5156
AB had problems before the NFL period. There's a reason that his father and mother couldn't deal with him. But he is highly intelligent but mentally unstable
Damn dude, that interview at the beginning where AB was describing being abandoned by his parents almost made me choke up. Respect to AB for steeling his heart and mind and making it out.
Yeah. As he kicks another dude in the face and laughs about it. Just shut up
Respect to ab???? Hes the biggest thug there is!!!! If you look up to him.. your not much of a human being!!!!you have no morals or values...
boo hoo
@@nickc8819 hide behind your laptop
HE WASN'T ABANDONED BY HIS FATHER.
That was one of the hardest hits to the head I had seen. And for anyone that doesn't think there is no long-term affect is wrong. I feel for AB also the NFL is a big part of his problems. They keeps saying they are doing more. But when a player get a head injury like that the NFL should do a 6 month evaluation.
What about the hits to the head you didn't see that he surely accumulated over 20 years of playing football?
you can evaluate all you want but you can not diagnose CTE on a living person.
Bro had it coming after kicking a player in the face the league backs wanted his guts after that 😂
I don’t think you are the least bit of qualified to make a statement like that as if it’s a fact. you nor anyone else can come to a definitive conclusion on whether or not he has long term affects from that specific hit or whether he has any form of CTE in general. CTE is obviously something that cannot be diagnosed on a living person. so for you and all of these other internet doctors to keep spewing out these bullshit diagnoses of Antonio browns mental health and the condition of his brain is stupid and getting pretty damn annoying.
Most definitely a lot more should have been done for brown by the N.F.L. and the PITTSBURGH STEELERS I do not know how much was done by either one of them but a lot more should have been done for brown after that hit.brown carried Steelers in a lot of games nobody could cover him one on one (NOBODY) I'm a die-hard Steeler fan and I love him forever but I do think more should have been done by the NFL after that hit perfect should have been suspended for life for sure
I just feel for this guy...there is obviously something going on in his head...I just can't believe he's misunderstood anymore..🤦
You feel for a guy that has millions and treats others like crap? Nice! Wow… smh. There are people with real problems.
@@TheAlexJimenez who does he treat like crap? I think you're forgetting that Tampa Bay treated him like crap smh
i reserve my empathy for more deserving people such as those living with disabilities, victims of crimes, or having family tradgedies and so on. i am not going to judge ab too harshly either. character is usually molded in childhood. broken home, little doubt this was an abusive situation. i think ab will work through his issues at some point, just not anytime soon
@@theanimerapper6351 yeah he does actually. Anyone that doesn’t agree with him. Every time he doesn’t get his way he throws anyone under the bus. He’s never matured
@@theanimerapper6351 Really? He shit talks literally anyone that doesn’t tell him he’s the best at everything and is right about everything. When you have problems every place you go, maybe it’s not all of those places that are causing problems.
Slowly getting into your football content as I also slowly try to get back into the NFL in general after not really paying attention the past two-three years.... this has definitely got to be one of your best videos mike.
There is no denying that he was one of the best receivers of all time. I even rock his number all through my high school football career. 84 is my number and always will be
You nailed it with this video Mike. Absolutely terrifying story of a human being that became a victim of his own character. Kudos for you my man for overviewing this. As a Steeler fan, I whish him nothing but the best. Sucked he left but he proved everyone right.
You obviously missed a lot. I can't stand people who think they're better than others because you had a good childhood....News flash: He's already been more successful in his life/career than you ever have been. He has more money sitting in a bank than you will make in your entire life....You need to look in the mirror lol
@@mitchbrown6652 yet here you are not following your own advice 🥴
Oh and how many concussions have you had? Are you a doctor? Do you know anything about concussions at all?
@@sundayheaven How do you miss the entire point over and over and over again?
@@mitchbrown6652 v
If I was in position, I'd put you up there with the quality of ur vids. Well done mike! Hope you get to wherever you'd like to go in life. #MikeMafia
Your not wrong lol
As a Steelers fan, I completely believe that after the hit, he was never the same person. I believe that if that hit never happened, he would have been a Steeler for life. As for the Steelers, we have had major fallout after he and bell left. Haven’t won a playoff game since. But we have a bright future. Mike, this was a great doc on his career! Another great video
He was always an ass and the money did it, not the hit.
Money talks bigger then hits. But it could be done by both.
@@fluffywhitewulf3119 that’s true
but AB won the SB and the steelers suck ever since he left..
@@efwewfwef1549 yeah ik that, but you can’t argue the fact that he is not right in the head. And, yes we do suck
As a Steelers fan this breaks my heart. AB was easily one of the great Steelers WR ever and he was a humble team dude. But then something went south. He never was hurt much until the thug Burfict laid him out but that might've been enough to change him . Always liked him a lot and still have an AB game shirt. Sincerely hope he turns his life around and gets the help he needs. Great video Mike. Prayers up to AB.
As a Bengals fan, I agree with you. That hit by Burfict was dirty, it didn't need to happen, and I'm also convinced that's where things went downhill for AB. And like you, I also hope he gets his life together and finds peace and happiness. He's still young and has a lot of life left to live. Whatever he decides to do, I sincerely wish him all the best.
I will, however, respectfully point out that it's kind of the pot calling the kettle black for Steeler fans to refer to other teams' players as "thugs" , considering that your team once employed James Harrison, Troy Polamalu, Ryan Shazier, and Hines Ward. Not trying to start trouble, just wanted to point that out.
Went from one of the most iconic receivers in the league to hitting rock bottom. Praying for AB that he’ll get his life together
@West Coast well he was iconic till that hit in 2016
Did you actually sit down and pray to God for ab?
Ur prayers helped because he is back otw up
he has a better life than 99,99% of ppl. in the us,. by playing a litte ball game for some years. not bad ;P
@@pentu7738 life isn’t just about money but it’s very sad to this young humble kid who dominated the league get hit to many times in the head
Antonio is a great example of why you need to value, and devalue a person based on their ability to tow the line. It's a team sport. Lack of teamwork, lack of responsibility will kill a team every time. Pass on anyone who cannot be humble.
The thing with him is he seems really manipulative at “saying” all of that stuff. People take him at his word. Then he turns on a dime and doesn’t follow up that talk.
Man I have followed AB since the Steelers picked him up. He was one of my all time favorite Steelers. It is extremely sad to see what has happened with him
Personally,
I believe AB always had a massive ego.
But before that big hit, he was able to at least mask it for the sake of the team.
I think the CTE made AB unable to turn off the ego as well as pushed him to behave more irrationally. Thus that public temper tantrum that saw him run off the field shirtless.
@Dakota Goforth, so playing football made him a pervert?
@@nickc8819 What kind of perversion?
I hope AB gets the help he needs. We all have issues but it's how we deal with them that matters.
He needs to be Hospitalized for a year and the NFL forks the bill. That’s his only hope.
Well stop racism and he will be fine. P
@@satanspit4101 hahaha it’s always white peoples fault when you guys can’t get your shit together. Incredible
Just to be able to compare himself from a few years ago to after his big hit in the head really is a sad thing to watch. He was so humble and soft spoken. He truly just felt blessed for being where he was at. Knowing that more than likely, his injury to the head is what caused all of this. I can only feel bad for him. Yea his attitude is bad, but he has no control over that. He needs help. Pray he gets it before it gets so bad he kills himself.
I honestly feel really bad for him, I hope he gets the help he needs. Amazing video by the way.
He is never going to get any mental health treatment he doesn't believe he needs it.
Outstanding. Thanks, for truth.
I know how he feels. After getting knocked out, in a Ironman Football game, two good friends told me, I was different, in ways they couldn't pinpoint, but, the were very concerned for me. I hurt, but felt I was the same. (Note: his kind of PTSD is a matter of remembering what it felt like, to survive under that kind of cruelty, as a kid.).
After being given so many chances it's very hard to find any more excuses for AB...
After learning about the Burfict hit, I really hope no one ends up picking him up and leaves him no other choice but to seek help, he really needs it
He truly struggled and made it! Head traumas can really mess with your head! Very rich team owners only think of their own pockets and egos! They push elite players beyond what they can mentally handle! Stress and mental issues can push even the greatest beyond their breaking points! God bless him!
Perfect documentary, early 2010s decade Ab was loved in Pittsburgh its just sad to see what he became 😞
Twisted by the dark side young Brown has become. The guy we knew, gone he is, concussed by his ego.
Concussions are a horrible stage to suffer through without the proper help and guidance. Hope this kid gets the help needs.
Mike just can’t miss with the videos, thank you for being such a great content creator we appreciate you very much.
This just makes me sad even as a browns fan who watched this guy torch us twice a year for god knows how long. I’d never wish that one anyone. I hope he gets the help, I hope he lives out the rest of his days not crazy or effed up. Rivalry or not I want to see people succeed, not fail to their own actions.
Brain injuries are so complex and unpredictable... the only way to counter it is constantly to keep it under surveillance via MRI and EEG. Then carefully balancing medication, therapy and other treatments, maybe even surgery. Even then there's no guarantee for recovery.
Masterfully told. Everything you have done up until this point was for this video.
AB was truly a "Generational Talent". He did things on the field that most players can only dream of doing. I can't think of a better example of a superstar "Falling from grace". He was a lock for the Hall of Fame and it's really unfortunate that his career, and every other aspect of his life, went completely off the rails.
Still a hof over 15000 total yards 88 tds 7x pro bowler, 4x first team all pro second team all pro, 2 time rec leader, 2x recieving yards leader, 1x rec td leader, nfl 2010 all decade team
You did a great job with this ! I feel that the hit he took from Burfict caused some brain damage 😢
I pray for him.
Heartbreaking story Mike. I hope that he turns his life around somehow. At this point, I just wish that he get his life right with God. Prayers up for him 🙏
I feel bad for the guy and I hope he gets some help for Cte before something drastic happens that he can't turn back from.
I believe that he has CTE. Chris Henry was the only then active player that was diagnosed with CTE after an autopsy revealed it.
Idk everyone jumps right to cte. It could also be the steroids the nfl puts these guys on. He basically said they had him juiced on Brandon Marshall’s podcast. b marsh looked uncomfortable and wouldn’t answer ab when he pressed him over and over asking him what cocktail of drugs the league had him on.
@@truth9502 or he could be a spoiled dick. Likely it’s a combination of a lot of factors. Being human is messy and complicated and nuanced. He doesn’t seem like someone I’d want to hang around much.
@@rrpostalagain You missed the ENTIRE story🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
@@h96pro32 Did I? I did put the “or” in front of my comment, which generally implies a possibility different from the narrative. The hit might have been the main turning point. I’m suggesting it could have been something different. One of his teammates even said if you give him a big contract you’ll make a monster. Dude seemed to slowly buy into his own hype. It happens. His brain could be scrambled, too.
Didn’t Junior Seau have CTE or am I mistaken?
Screw the haters. This video is epic. The writing, narration and editing alone are top notch, just like all your content.
Thank you for all your hard work and making it available for all to see.
Kudos, bro!
Agreed!! Excellent job on this one! Loved it!!
You’re fighting non existent comments bro
Well done Mike! Thanks for putting this together
It doesn’t take a psychiatrist to see the number one issue that caused the change in his personality. His fear of abandonment made him work extremely hard to become a player who people would respect and love but he didn’t always receive the respect that he felt that he had earned. That made him feel let down by people he considered to be friends and they basically abandoned him just like his parents. The hits to his head may have made him realize that he was doing more than enough and taking way to much risk for people who don’t appreciate and love him. He lashed out and resorted to crazy tactics to get attention that he desired. He pushed people away rather than let them be the one to let him down emotionally. I love you AB.
The hit from Vontaze is what really kicked it into high gear. I really do feel for him because mental health is incredibly important to me it breaks my heart that a talent like AB has lost everything do to very clearly suffering one too many brain injuries. The NFL just swept it under the rug.
Borderline Personality Disorder
I’ll never forget my fantasy football season in 2011 though. I picked up AB late in my draft and he was like my WR3 but put up monster numbers and I dominated my league. I had him, Roddy White, and Megatron as my WR core. Then I had picked up Michael Vick as a value in that draft.
Wow great production job Mike. It’s amazing you can push out so much content and all of them are high quality.
Except the raised voice with rollercoaster tone narration. That part sucks
@@rancidcrawfishwhat’s wrong with his voice ??
Mike.... once again a very thoughtful and considered video without character assassination that would be easy to do for the likes. I just hope and pray that this incredibly talented man gets the courage to seek help for the demons he’s been facing before it’s ultimately too late.
Peace
Mike, congratulations on a spectacular job with this vid. All of your work is terrific, but this may be your best yet. I know you are not one to rest on your laurels, but please do take the time to savor the moment. I can't venture a guess as to how long it took you to make this. You are to be commended. Kudos! And I respectfully disagree with your critics re: "regurgitating AB content." On the contrary, you are consistently the first to present us with new information. Keep up the great work, as always.
Praying for a healing of the body, mind and soul. He's a gem
Used to be my favorite Steeler. Probably still is my favorite steeler of all time because I grew up watching his greatness.. sad to see what happened.. it’s a dangerous game they play… life in general
I am a life long Steelers fans and when we traded him away I knew he would bring nothing but turmoil to any team that would sign him I just chose to remember him as he was not what he has become he was one of the best!
but who made a super bowl run the last 5 years? AB WON THE SB and the steelers are looking mediocre ever after ABs left.
@@efwewfwef1549 are you okay? Like this person isn’t insulting him, only thing he did was speak on AB’s attitude no one is shitting on what he did or what he can do for the team.
This was an excellent overview of the AB history. It was even handed and well done. Two thumbs up.
Fantastic work in the editing and the commitment to research for this piece!!! Been watching you for like a year now and I believe this is the best video you’ve produced. Excellent work
37 minute video???
This gonna be fire 🔥
hurts my heart man, he was my 2nd favorite athlete as a kid, up there with steph curry, because they both were underdogs, who were also undersized in their sport. he was a big reason why i wanted to go to the nfl. even in pick-up football games, when i would score a td , i would do his td celebration dances😂. after all the shenanigans i started to not like him and lost respect for him, but when he won a SB ring, i was genuinely happy for him. Its really unfortunate
Jeezum that weightbroom head knock was probably more detrimental than anything else gawd damn 16:41
Genuinely hate when people look at the Burfict play, and say “this was the cause of his mental health issues” it’s a sport he’s played since a child, it’s repeated blows that cause CTE. Still, this isn’t the end of his story. Another team will give it a shot, it’s just a matter of him capitalizing on the opportunity.
Well watching most of his career he never really was hit like that.
Antonio Brown has burnt 5 teams and I don't think there are any takers for number 6; while he is good, he is way too much drama to deal with. What team wants all that drama and distraction not to mention he tried to start a COVID OUTBREAK IN THE BUCCANEERS RANKS by bringing that and I use the term loosely "Model" into the teams hotel sneaking her by hotel security.. That is total disregard for the health and safety of his teammates. No there won't be anymore offers for AB he fucked up big time this time..
After what he did to both the Bucs organization, how he bad mouthed TB12 after he brought him into his home, treated him like a brother, his chaotic actions after this whole thing, not to mention his age, Antonio Brown will likely not get another shot, nor should he, in my opinion. The man can play ball, but what he does to your organization, the stress and bull crap he brings is simply not worth his ever so decreasing impact.
AB is finished in the NFL, it’s simply not worth it - actually he as likely done years ago if not for Brady. It’s over now for sure. Great career that could have been a lot more.
I absolutely believe what Shannon Sharpe stated-Some team is going to talk themselves into signing him next season. Among the top ones on that list I definitely believe will be the Cowboys. One of my boys (who's a diehard Cowboys fan) says no, but I definitely believe they're going to try getting him for real regardless of AB's history.
No, the Burfict hit definitely could not have helped matters when it comes to AB and his health. BUT this narrative that some people are trying to spin, conveniently chalking AB's ridiculous and unpredictable behavior----all his brazenly selfish/flaky/narcissistic tendencies----up to a single concussive incident is quite a stretch. Let's be honest, AB is a terrific football player who always gave everything he had on the field, but he was always a self-obsessed diva (even for a star WR) at the best of times. Ask Mike Tomlin, who made it clear that the public had "no idea" just how much of a headache AB was to coach, since his antics were largely kept in-house and under wraps.
Boiling all of AB's issues, all his baggage down to that one hit strikes me as naive, misguided apologism; it doesn't take into account what was already known about his character long before that game. It also ignores other examples of guys like Davante Adams, Wes Welker, or even Junior Seau (RIP Junior, we know 100% beyond any doubt he suffered from advanced CTE after he volunteered his brain to science). Adams has taken similarly vicious hits to the head more than once, and yet not only does he still perform at the highest level... HE STILL ACTS AND BEHAVES LIKE A TRUE PROFESSIONAL. Same goes for Welker (whose career was cut short by head injuries), Junior Seau, *or the untold number of other NFL players, active and retired, that suffered serious TBI's during their careers without transforming into clownish me-first me-always headcases!!*
100% FACT!
Every brain is different. Every hit is different. Just for fun, please allow someone to give your head a serious blow to see how it affects you.
It’s really easy to judge when you’re not a doctor or actually know someone… He may have both CTE and a mental illness… So many opinions saying they think they know, but you don’t, that’s between him and his doctors… People in the comment sections saying they know are the true 🤡s
It seems you’re not familiar with cte, it has caused football players to kill so it wouldn’t be surprising if it had anything to do with ab’s behavioral issues
You have said it right 100%
Fun fact: Antonio Brown was almost drafted by the Buffalo Bills because the Bills called him to draft him with the 192nd pick, but they were calling him on his brother's phone I believe, but then the Steelers called him on his phone and he decided to pick up his phone instead
Great video! Well balanced and empathetic. Sad for AB, I hope he gets the help he needs.
The amount of times he said “No one would..” makes me think that his career is one of most unique nfl stories out there
Incredible research and story of the rise and fall one man namely Antonio Brown. He was a truly gifted WR. A documentary of this nature does most certainly require all of statistics the incidents both good and bad. I have seen what heights a person can reach. What got him to that level. Brady could make rookies look good on the field even when the chemistry has not had the time to mature. A wide out that can make second nature receptions without knowing a complete set of formations and reads is second to none. He had taken synergistic connection with Brady. Thank you so much for a great documentary on AB.
Got dam Man give Brady an average O- line that some QB's have to deal with then we'll see what he can do it's QB's had to shit and get it to win Superbowls Brady Superbowls were bought I know you disagree and you probably a Floyd Mayweather hater (I haven't took my medicine this morning)
@@kekejohnson687 layoff the 'shrooms, plz.
His past still follows, let's all pray for him🙏🏾🙏🏾
A pretty atonia Brown gets the help that he needs because he definitely it
I don't know why people keep on bashing this dude. It's clear this is what made this guy tic. Some people need this kind of motivation to succeed.
It's the White people on here bashing him.Whenever Mr.Brown tell them about themselves and not kissing their asszzzz's then they want to put that "Crazy Jacket" on him.They can't refer to him by his name or call him a man.The white people refer him by "Guy" or "Dude".They ALL do this when it comes to referring to ALL Black Men. They will never acknowledge a Black male as a "Man" or by his Name.
He needs to secure the bag, stop acting a fool , he might've suffered one hit to the head too many.
He acts like stupid fool
Antonio brown is one of the players that made me fall in love with football. Truly is sad to see him doing the things he is doing nowadays. Great video mikerophone
AB is happy when he's winning and getting all the accolades, but when losing and getting his tail/head knocked off he begins to meltdown.
He was always a head case. 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Legit watching one of his vids when I seen this notification
fr every time I see the notification I gotta watch
Fr same
I still feel Antonio is the best in the league and he's always been a showboat, but not a nut job as of late. Since that Burfict hit, he's never been the same. I'm sure it'll be covered in this video, but he really needs some help, and I hope he gets it.
Great video Mike. Very well researched and written. Much appreciated!
In his prime he was the best route runner I’ve ever seen. Absolutely lethal.
I had the same upbringing and I’m sane and have my own business. I hate any “ oh my tragic upbringing “ stuff. I’ve lived as a grown man since I was 12
Pretty sure CTE plays a large part into this as well
He was the type of guy I would want my kids to look up to..nowadays I wouldn't even want my kid to look at him.
This was really well done bro 👏🏽
Pretty tragic story when you think about it…
Each video gets better and better with quality Mike. The intro was amazing, your going places brother. Keep up the amazing work
Whatever somebody may think this is a man who was as productive over a 6 year period as any WR in history.
He was not a physical freak like Megtron or Julio Jones. This was a 5'10 185 lb guy averaging almost 100 yards a game. 9100 yards, 67 TDs in 6 seasons!
We all go through shit in life. it's our responsibility to change and be accountable for what we do wrong, recognize, and look for help.
That hit in the 2015 wild card made him a convict
No it didn't lol
Money got to him and I feel it's been money over matter for him lately which is tragic thinking that a different mindset might have garnered him more money and more success with the Steelers of the Patriots when that was a thing...
I loved seeing the different ways players celebrated after touchdowns. It was one of my favorite things about watching football.
And now that they can’t do that it’s not as fun to watch football anymore or see a touchdown
I know people like the overexuberant celebrations after tds, but we come to see professional football players, not a bunch of break dancers, square dancers and clown shows to try to humiliate your opponent, the score board will do that.
Last time I was this fast she started crying
lol
Antonio, Kanye, And Floyd being friends is honestly so fitting it’s crazy 💀💀💀
I'm actually not into sports at all, this was a really interesting video + also well edited.
This hurts me as a Steelers fan. He did so much for us and I thank him for that. He didn’t deserve this.
@Jeekae u watch football? Lololol
When you see information about CTE it always involves the Steelers. Something is rotten in Pittsburgh.
Man I imagine that I might piss some people off but I keep thinking back to jr Seau and Aaron Hernandez's life. Man these guys throw it all out there. And yes I am aware that AB ain't there. I'm just saying that it makes me think about that.
Thank you Mike. Love the content stay safe.
Antionio Brown has a wounded soul and possible CTE from that vicious hit. That hit was devastating. When they helped him up, a different Antionio Brown emerged. His former teammates are trying their best to help him. His behavior is so erratic. They believe it’s due to CTE. I believe needs to be evaluated by healthcare & mental health evaluation & intervention.
It's definitely c. T. I've been living through it for the last 20 years where I never went pro.
No. He was an asshole before he got hit in the head. I'm tired of apologists claiming this. You were all just ignoring it.
I just wanted to thank you for making this video and I wanted to say we all make mistakes in our lives. May God be with you and Antonio.
Wow AB is a story. I just wish people didn't get hurt permanently with this game.
You just can't deny how good this guy is at catching a ball and running.
But he's a headache to coach and a distraction to the team.
"Head trauma" my a$$. The name of this video should be "An ego maniac finally gets what he deserves".
14:07 if you edited in Sparta!!!! Scene from 300 would have been hilarious 😂
Antonio still has several years of top notch Football in him. I wish him all the luck in the World
At first, this goes back a couple years oh, I was like what is wrong with this young man. Then after a while I understood that he was dealing with issues. I felt that most had abandoned this man and during his issues I said no, he's dealing with issues and you got to give this brother some space. You got to give this brother some consideration cuz he got to get some help. I was once again all for AB After his fieldside tirade in the Tampa Bay game against the Jets I thought okay he's going off the rails again. I never knew about to hit in the Bengals game. I believe that's when everything changed for this man. I am back to supporting him. You will see, CTE is some real shit and it affected him. And I feel very badly for this man. Especially his comments towards Tom Brady the GOAT. Afterr Brady did so much for him! Think about this people, he's not thinking logically. AB, like others in your situation you are a valuable human being. Get some help and get this shit right
and everyone talks crap about him when he has CTE, you can tell by the way he talks and acts, he never really acted like that hwen he was in his prime before the hit.
You and your team are amazing this video is great all around.... Commentarie, Editing, And compassion.💯💯
Great video this was a real rags to riches super talented story of a guy who had a rough beginning to superstardom! I honestly feel bad for AB but he had no right dissin TB like that still I wish him and his family all the best❤🙏⭐
i think he got a near death experience and just went nuts...
that hit was dirty
hope he gets help and return to football.
It's pretty obvious that he is suffering from something a long the lines of manic depressive disorder.
I've had a family member and a friend with this disorder and it manifests itself in similarly bizarre ways.
High highs, low lows.
Could have been brought on from concussions.
Sad.
1 anecdotal experience you had with 1 person doesn't prove anything...
@@juggmkj Your blind get yourself checked out
This man really needs someone who really loves him and cares about him to just hold him down and get him the help he needs !
You can’t help even the ones that you love the most when they’re not interested. You can only distance yourself from the situation for your own well being.
I agree.
if you're in a car, sitting behind the wheel driving. up ahead you notice a hitch hiker desperate 4a ride but, you're indecisive 2HELP&GIVE a ride. n`thinking 'if th@ person didn't look so desperate, I won't look @him/she and not feel `GUILT' as you drive by putting DISTANCE away from th@ needy hitch hiker . although you've given rides 2hitch hikers, mind you. 'DON'T LOOK' is th@ You and, mr. simple mind 'duh' i`Agree. if either 1of you got hit like AB, no injury 2ur brain will occur . Y? 1st of all . YOU NEED ONE . Aloha*
No one can save him but himself. You can't help those who don't want help. Sad, but true.
Ab was in my club in Manhattan wonderland newyork many times he was loved by all he performed his songs he treated everyone good. Ab has a good heart🙏
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿 for AB and everybody else who's going through something.
I'm not defending or apologizing for Brown, but there are Two sides to every part of this heavily biased video.
Sometimes AB is just wrong, but other times there's a lot more to the story. AB is considered to be one of the greatest to ever play, but he's treated like a criminal on probation by his Coaching Staff and front office. He's paid like scrub, but expected to produce world class feats on the field. The Bucs treated him like a second class citizen, and HC Arians hates AB personally.
Say what you will about AB, but he makes a lot of good points and isn't the only one to blame in all this. There's a lot of hypocrisy in the NFL.
It's extremely difficult to spin this story, but I tried(laughing).
