Memphis Ten-a-key I tell my husband that all the time. After watching a video my husband always comments on how good FlemLo is. I’m not a big fan of talking heads. Most get on my last nerve and it’s good we don’t have SLAP VISION yet because when one goes off on a holier than thou rant about a player I would be slapping their face off. But I could listen to FL everyday. He gets in depth on these young men’s lives not just focusing on their athletic talent but the trials they have gone through, about their hearts. He cares. It’s refreshing in these times.
@@jakeredmond382 ryan clark said he was a terrible person and he was his teammate for years. Ever since AB was a rookie, that was long before a Burfict hit ever came along. People letting him get away with everything created a monster.
Shannon Sharpe: "Money doesn't change you, it makes you more of what you really are" AB got guaranteed dollars in Pittsburgh and revealed his true colours.
As a physician myself, I agree with you but I think there is an important additional point to make. I have seen some of the videos by physicians that you are referring to where they say that you cannot necessarily call this CTE. I do understand their point, and while I personally suspect that AB has some degree of CTE, that really doesn't even matter. In an interview with AB sometime after the hit, he states that he did in fact lose consciousness for a period of time immediately following the hit. In the medical field, a traumatic blow to the head resulting in loss of consciousness is by definition considered to be at least a Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). It is very well known that TBI's can very well result in a variety of symptoms such as impulsivity, personality changes, mood disorders, etc. To address the point that some people bring up that he was like this in the past, it is also important to point out that people with premorbid behavioral problems who sustain a TBI can very much have these issues amplified as a result.
Wouldnt surprise me if he if he had borderline or bi polar tendencies/ traits before that were amplified after brain trauma. He obviously has gone through many stages of mania type behaviour with suttle crashes here or there. Wish the guy the best in his career and moreso his mental health and relationships going forward.
When I recorded my video with AB for M19, dude was all over the place lol. I don't think I can legally say all of the wild stuff he did in the brief period that I met him, but something was definitely off
Lol something was off because he was cloned. That’s not the AB we know. MK ultra is a known mind control procedure & for that to happen a part of their hair has to be turned blonde and little do we know..his moustache became blonde then ever since shit really hit the fan. Look into it.
Dude....I love how flemlo puts in the work for his theories. Even delving into graphic novel lore. From a comic book reader AND huge football fan, MUCH RESPECT
That ring n touchdown cool n all but I still would be sick about that 39 million that was guaranteed from Oakland literally 1 day before it was all guaranteed 😂😂 just saying
Man I always liked Antonio Brown and was super happy when he came to the Raider! Just sad really. Mental illness is serious and some people see it from a different point of view. He never hit a woman he wasn’t a drug addict he just dealing with stuff no one knows about but are quick to judge. Glad he finally got a ring tho and got back to what he loves!
for real he just a straight up hater.. Can't stand to see other people do better then him especially team mates!! No real baller that loves the sport is gonna hate on a teammate for balling out, real ballers wanna see everyone ball out especially his teammates especially if they winning!
He doesn’t have to have CTE for a head injury to effect his personality, mental health, and behavior. ONE concussion in life, increases the likelihood of mental health problems (depression, anxiety, psychosis, sleep disturbances, hyper/hypo-sexuality, etc) I’m a doctor BTW, and have worked a lot of years in traumatic brain injury recovery units. Now, we don’t know how many other concussions AB has had in his football career. Likely, he has had others. We can’t say for sure though. It only takes ONE. I’ve had concussions, all in my youth.....2 definite KO situations. I suffered from insomnia as a teen and depression, which may/may not be linked.....but it did happen. Doesn’t mean they are the cause, but those incidents did make those issues more likely. Everyone’s brain is different. Trauma, either physical or emotional, can unlock psychological issues that are just underneath the surface. Everyone’s issues can be different, and everyone’s threshold is different. This is why EVERYONE, kids and adults, whether biking, skating, or whatever....should always wear a helmet. It is so dumb not to. One injury can CHANGE YOUR LIFE forever. I’ve seen families devastated by traumatic brain injury. I’ve seen intelligent mild-mannered young people, turn into hyper-aggressive, violent, hyper-sexualized....just a dramatic personality change, and it so hard for the family to understand why their son or daughter, is now “a completely different person”. Its very sad when its severe. Not severe enough to cause permanent physical and cognitive disability, but severe enough to keep then from getting a job, having a family, and enjoying life. Wear your goddamn helmet!!!! Don’t care if your kid is scootering or hover boarding.....they don’t need to be going fast....always wear a helmet. Adults bicycling? YES!!! Its not random bike accidents that are the primary concern, but rather drivers who are on their phones. Again, I’ve seen devastating injuries from car on bike accidents with no helmet involved.
So can I blame my shitty personality, steady decline into drug addiction and inability to hold down a job because some days I just don't feel like showing up, on the concussions I took? I mean before my concussions I was doing well and on my way to being "successful".
Sam okay dude.....where did I ever say that the concussion had everything to do with the helmet? Is English your first language? I cannot believe how dumb people are sometimes, which is why I never comment on this crap. You’re literally nit-picking my comment, hoping to correct me and get some living in mom’s basement thrill. OF COURSE concussions occur with football helmets. Never said they didn’t. What I said, was people should wear helmets more often, when doing other activities, to prevent brain injury, including concussion. Your statement that helmets ONLY prevent skull fracture is false. Yes, two 250 pound men running full speed into each other is going to cause a concussion with or without a helmet. People on bicycles, skates, skateboards, whatever.....simply the act of falling backwards onto the concrete, a helmet can most certainly prevent concussion. I personally have a close friend, who now needs 24 hour care, because she was hit by a car on her bicycle on the way home from work. No helmet, no skull fracture.....she now operates at about a 4 to 5 year old cognitive level. She has two children, and a husband, and its AWFUL. Had she worn a helmet, would she have sustained brain injury? Considering the severity, its very possible, but most certainly would have been nowhere near as severe. You watched a football documentary on CTE. I went to school until I was 30. I’m talking about brain injury in general, not just football. BTW, you can sustain skull fracture even with a helmet on. I’ve seen a guy who was riding his motorcycle at 120mph, and came up behind a truck going 50mph. He put his helmeted head through the back gate of the truck bed at a speed of 70mph, sustaining an open skull fracture. I don’t know what came of him, but he survived his surgery.
How timely to revisit this, I've getting texts from people hating on AB after the indent at the Jets game. All I do is send them the link to this video for understanding. I think Tom Brady comments today after the game reflect that there's much more to this story than we realize and I hope AB can get the help he needs.
Being a Bengal fan aside, there is no one out there, doing what you do as well as you do it. I’m more interested in hearing you talk about players than actually watching the NFL.
I did to but it didn’t turn out well I was going to a Ohio state game and bought my ticket on SeatGeek and had actually good seats but was denied entry to the game because on another website someone bought the same exact seat and yeah I unfortunately wasn’t able to go to the game but I got a full refund plus some extra money back. SeatGeek although they made me miss a game they were great by giving me a full refund plus extra money for the trouble.

Michael Hunziker He was a beast for a while though. One of the hardest runners I’ve ever watched. Wouldn’t be surprised if he had CTE either now that I think about it...
I watched the original documentary about the cte issues, and it effects the frontal lobe aka decision making. It’s like a super duper coke head who been daily using for 20years.. not even 20yr coke problem can fuck with CTE.
I think I should take this time to remind everyone that Peter Griffin has a longer career with the Patriots and scored more points (touchdown and field goal).
SUPER smart! Well thought out. Great Video man💯 I’m not gonna lie, I was one of those people who use to call AB a clown but after watching your video I feel like I understand him a little bit better. (Not completely, but a little bit better)
I completely agree with Flemlo Raps about that hit that Antonio Brown suffered. His entire personality changed afterwards. I'm not a neurologist, but with all the news about CTE, it makes you wonder.
God please help this man as soon as possible. Not so we can see him play again, but so he can be at peace. He is obviously dealing with something, and it needs resolution.
People on 69 because he is telling on dudes that one blacked mailed him tha. Try to kill him. I don’t like anything about 69. But the hell if I’m going down for people who did that to me
I like your style. Keeping it real, no click bait BS, not trying to make everything funny and failing badly like a lot of other popular youtube sports guys.
I am born and raised in Pittsburgh. I’m still here. I covered the nfl during AB but moved to the nhl during the Penguins back to back Cup runs in 2016/2017. Ohhh the AB stories Pittsburgh media has but hasn’t put in writing are some of the most interesting lol.
I am 70 years old, and have damaged in my front part of the brain. for the last ten years I have slowly decline in my short term memory and motor skills . My mood will change and I have now accepted my limitations. But I also hav e a great support system . My wife and family keep me centered but in browns case it can manifest in many forms. It could very well be from the hit but generally it takes many hits over time to start to show. He needs someone he can trust that will set him down and give him strait talk. But the bottom line it get worse over time and there is no cure. Funny thing is if I could do it all over, I would still play, I just love the game. Ps your MRI will show damage in the front part of the brain which you can do things to help
Who’s here after he got cut from the Bucs? And who’s looking forward to an update? Bc we need this sort of perspective in the conversation about AB today.
Great video, As a Pittsburgh Steeler fan all my life and AB, I came to the same conclusions. I thought at first it was money and a ploy to get to N.E. but he blew that too! I think he has CTE. Sad.
Nick Ortega I'm completely apathetic. Much similar to how you don't give Aaron Hernandez a pass for murder because he had severe CTE, you don't give AB a pass for being, well, AB, even if it's discovered he has CTE.
@@puck4787 I agree. Pray for him. But don't make excuses for him either. When ppl make excuses for others they tend to use those excuses as their reason for not changing.
i said the same thing about taken that hit from the bengals game I think he has CTE we dont know how many hits he took when he was younger but i feel that may have been the deciding blow
I'm from Pittsburgh. Watched that game live. I remember the hit well. Reminded me of another cheap shot on a Pittsburgh star. Sidney Crosby. Luckily Sid came back. Another person who I believe took head shots and changed. Chris Benoit. Aaron Hernandez.
Im from Australia I love the NFL but rarely watch a game. Usually only catch the Superbowl which starts around 9am here, we take the day off work and we're drunk by 9.45am. I love watching highlights on youtube though and what brought me here was an Antonio Brown Highlight video and me knowing nothing about him went straight to the comments section and realised something wasn't quite right with this unbelievable player. So I typed into youtube search, "what happened to Anto...." youtube predicted the rest and here I am! Love your channel dude. Hello from Australia.
No team, Pittsburgh or otherwise, could hide well the behavior that happened at the end of 2018, if ir preceeded that time. That's where Flemlo and I agree as to when the behavior manifested. He was a flamboyant well liked guy. He didn't become a bad dude till after 2018.
M B you still cant say for certain someone has it until they pass ab might just be mad because juju was better than him. lmao i. dont think thats the actual reason and im not saying he doesnt have cte im just sayin you cant diagnose it till after death
@Olly Tropics I wouldn't say he has ZERO symptoms but he does have very few. If you wanna look at a former NFL player that has the signs of schizophrenia then check out Tre Mason.
regardless of the situation, if it's not a brain injury I pray that he gets his act together, and if it is a brain injury I pray that science catches up and can repair the damage so he can get back to a successful life.
This is honestly the only video you’ve ever made that hasn’t aged well your one of the smartest youtubers ive ever seen tho!!! Thanks for everything you do man!!!!
thank you flemlo I needed a video to fully breakdown his life. it's crazy when things like this happen I think of you bruh. good work. can I get a link to your lofi playlist please
@@gbcolby I just said that will the LeBron part... I was talking about how both AB's parents were not stable... His mother kick him outta the house (Mother of the Year material 🙄) when he was a teen... And his dad is probably like a typically athlete dad (probably where he gets his parenting skills from)... He also grew up in a bad environment, so that might effect how the way he acts...
As a Steeler fan this is a great summation. I mean AB was one of the great Steelers receivers ever and possibly one of the best of all time in the NFL. He was always definitely a primadonna of sorts but after the Burfict hit he went totally off the rails. Yeah correlation doesn't always equal causation but you gotta wonder in this case. For real great analysis my man and your videos are on totally lit for me.
Yo Flem - might be time to start lookin into law school bro. At the start of this vid, i was pretty skeptical about "the Killing Joke Defense"(great comic btw). But by the end, you had me convinced. That's when i realized - considering your channel's content, and your efficacy for defending the character of your subjects: you should seriously consider legal defense. You're a smart cat and if you put the time into getting the prerequisites - you could make the jump from commenting on these athlete's personal lives, to defending their lives in a courtroom setting.
the503CreepOut at this point he will make more money on RUclips in the next 20 years than most lawyers could ever dream, but yes he’d be a great lawyer
Yeah, I’d honestly agree with this. Being a great lawyer involves a solid amount of empathy, perspective taking, attention to detail and skilled storytelling. Flem really does tick all these boxes, based on what I’ve seen.
Dude I’m not gonna cap. I don’t watch football but listening to you helps me concentrate on my hw 😂😂 low key starting to get into the NFL, more of an NBA guy
You make a lot of sense. It gives me a different insight to AB. I hope all his old friends in Pittsburgh see your video and think about that possibility.
A narcissist isn't psycho which is what he is now. I agree he was a narcissist before the last game of 2018. But what he is now is pretty far from being a narcissist. And into psychosis.

Antonio Brown is still setting records, he is the only Diva in NFL history to have 3 different team Jerseys on the clearance rack in the same year
Jeff Herron could be 4 some say he might sign with the Saints
T.O. had 4 once at a hibbit sports I went to, Bills, Cowboy's, Eagles, and 49ers. His Bengals jersey was full price though.
Randy Moss had 3 at once lol possibly 4 if raiders jerseys were still hanging around
@Zachary Odom they would be stupid to sign AB. They already have a great team. Bringing in a player with character issues makes zero sense.

1:23 THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT IM SAYING! THAT HIT FROM BURFICT TOTALLY SCREWED UO HIS PERSONALITY
I watched the original documentary about the cte issues, and it effects the frontal lobe aka decision making. It’s like a super duper coke head who been daily using for 20years.. not even 20yr coke problem can fuck with CTE.
this has to be one of the greatest videos i’ve seen in a while brodie. idk how you successfully connected the two storylines, but you did perfectly.
Having an altercation is one thing.
Having an altercation so bad that you're expelled from the school is a different matter.
It's not hard to get expelled from school
@@bamaboitube8572 for a scholarship athlete it kinda is. Basically he beat the security guard up
Almost time for another AB update. Dude lands on his feet again
And he got a ring
@@spencerroberson4780 aaaand now he got in a fight at training camp and Brady of all people had to talk to him about it. The AB cycle continues...
I think I should take this time to remind everyone that Peter Griffin has a longer career with the Patriots and scored more points (touchdown and field goal).
Wow. This was a really well thought out video. Good job, bro.
AB: used to think my life was a tragedy, but now I realize it's a comedy
Uzumaki Clan 7798 just watched this movie 🍿 it was good
AB: we live in a society
Doodoopancakes w
Flem. You just made my informative speech for class a whole lot easier
We need a Part 2 of this.
SUPER smart! Well thought out. Great Video man💯 I’m not gonna lie, I was one of those people who use to call AB a clown but after watching your video I feel like I understand him a little bit better. (Not completely, but a little bit better)
I completely agree with Flemlo Raps about that hit that Antonio Brown suffered. His entire personality changed afterwards. I'm not a neurologist, but with all the news about CTE, it makes you wonder.
FlemLo is honestly one of the most eloquent storytellers on RUclips. Always love his stories and he definitely thinks outside the box
Like the cat analogy was perfect haha
You do put a lot of research into your Video's & you make more sense then the ones on tv! I enjoy all of your pieces. I thank you!
“And once that happened I was like okay-“. *Uber ad plays*
God please help this man as soon as possible. Not so we can see him play again, but so he can be at peace. He is obviously dealing with something, and it needs resolution.
judge: anything else?
69: have you heard of antonio brown?
People on 69 because he is telling on dudes that one blacked mailed him tha. Try to kill him. I don’t like anything about 69. But the hell if I’m going down for people who did that to me
I like your style. Keeping it real, no click bait BS, not trying to make everything funny and failing badly like a lot of other popular youtube sports guys.
Very nice vid, that's all I can say. Style reminds me of other channels I enjoy, also that lofi hip hop in the background is very nice.
Me: knock knock
Flemlo: who’s there
Me: Owen
Flemlo: Owen who?
Me: 0-3 bengals
He predicted a 8-8 season too lol
Nice
0-4 now :(
Lol
O-6 NOW
"One Bad Day" someone's been watching The Killing Joke lol 😂
Reading it hopefully (actually he mentioned it in the video). That movie adaptation was terrible.
There are no movie adaptation of The Killing Joke.
my boy playing for the bucs now
Bruh you are so right!!! Hell of a video!!! One of the best videos ever put out on youtube! This is the definition of quality content
I am born and raised in Pittsburgh. I’m still here. I covered the nfl during AB but moved to the nhl during the Penguins back to back Cup runs in 2016/2017. Ohhh the AB stories Pittsburgh media has but hasn’t put in writing are some of the most interesting lol.
I am 70 years old, and have damaged in my front part of the brain. for the last ten years I have slowly decline in my short term memory and motor skills . My mood will change and I have now accepted my limitations. But I also hav e a great support system . My wife and family keep me centered but in browns case it can manifest in many forms. It could very well be from the hit but generally it takes many hits over time to start to show. He needs someone he can trust that will set him down and give him strait talk. But the bottom line it get worse over time and there is no cure. Funny thing is if I could do it all over, I would still play, I just love the game. Ps your MRI will show damage in the front part of the brain which you can do things to help
JAKE GUS rude
@JAKE GUS
Go back to hell, Jake Gus the troll.
I'm sorry to hear that. I hope things work out for you
Who’s here after he got cut from the Bucs? And who’s looking forward to an update? Bc we need this sort of perspective in the conversation about AB today.
That moment when you realized that Antonio Brown and JJ Watt (Transfer to Wisconsin) were once teammates at Central Michigan 😲😲😲
I love a good story and you tell even a better one! Don't change anything, your great that would you do!
Great video, As a Pittsburgh Steeler fan all my life and AB, I came to the same conclusions. I thought at first it was money and a ploy to get to N.E. but he blew that too! I think he has CTE. Sad.
Next video should be Peter Warrick, it should fit since you’re a bengals fan👍
Very nicely put my friend you could be right but like you said we'll never really know
People laugh at him. I’m praying for him
Nick Ortega Amen !!
Nick Ortega
I'm completely apathetic. Much similar to how you don't give Aaron Hernandez a pass for murder because he had severe CTE, you don't give AB a pass for being, well, AB, even if it's discovered he has CTE.
Rob Gonz all the more reason to pray for him. Seems to have led himself astray and needs some guidance.
@@puck4787 I agree. Pray for him. But don't make excuses for him either. When ppl make excuses for others they tend to use those excuses as their reason for not changing.
Ya that SI artical was unnecessary and the cruelest thing I've seen in sports. They new it would bury him.
Dude these what happened videos are so good keep em coming
I'm not a sports fan however I love real life stories. Like the way you present the facts. Subscribing and liking now 😊
i said the same thing about taken that hit from the bengals game I think he has CTE we dont know how many hits he took when he was younger but i feel that may have been the deciding blow
I, too, believe the Burfict hit is the turning point in AB's life. All we can do is pray for him.
Old folks would describe him in three ways:
He started smellin himself.
He got to big for his britches
He got beside himself
I think that hit messed him up big time tbh
I'm from Pittsburgh.
Watched that game live.
I remember the hit well.
Reminded me of another cheap shot on a Pittsburgh star.
Sidney Crosby.
Luckily Sid came back.
Another person who I believe took head shots and changed.
Chris Benoit.
Aaron Hernandez.
Im from Australia I love the NFL but rarely watch a game. Usually only catch the Superbowl which starts around 9am here, we take the day off work and we're drunk by 9.45am. I love watching highlights on youtube though and what brought me here was an Antonio Brown Highlight video and me knowing nothing about him went straight to the comments section and realised something wasn't quite right with this unbelievable player. So I typed into youtube search, "what happened to Anto...." youtube predicted the rest and here I am! Love your channel dude. Hello from Australia.
Antonio Brown has always been a knucklehead.. its just that it's out now. Pittsburgh hid it well. He is not a good dude.
@Omor Igiehon totally agree 💚
This man is a victim of an intentional brain injury. Burfict should be held accountable. And I don’t mean being suspended without pay.
No team, Pittsburgh or otherwise, could hide well the behavior that happened at the end of 2018, if ir preceeded that time. That's where Flemlo and I agree as to when the behavior manifested. He was a flamboyant well liked guy. He didn't become a bad dude till after 2018.
He either got CTE Or Schizophrenia because dude is tripping 🤦🏾♂️
LavishShawn you cant tell if someone has CTE till after theyre dead
Matt Cary but you can tell by the symptoms butt nugget
M B you still cant say for certain someone has it until they pass ab might just be mad because juju was better than him. lmao i. dont think thats the actual reason and im not saying he doesnt have cte im just sayin you cant diagnose it till after death
after life*
@Olly Tropics I wouldn't say he has ZERO symptoms but he does have very few. If you wanna look at a former NFL player that has the signs of schizophrenia then check out Tre Mason.
“Around this point AD even begins to look like the joker..” 😂😂😂 im soooo dead bro
“Some men just want to watch the world burn” my favorite quote ever
Great video young bro! Well done
regardless of the situation, if it's not a brain injury I pray that he gets his act together, and if it is a brain injury I pray that science catches up and can repair the damage so he can get back to a successful life.
Dudes work ethic was on a whole other level. Just thought I’d point that out lol
Sounds like he was out of control even in high school of his parents kicked him out b4 he was even 18.
I just lost 50 brain cells
TooMuchLean that was tough to read lol
The words "because" and "kicking" woulda helped.
@Tyler Bolen sadly I think its the latter.
Pretty sure it was cause his mom was insane
This is honestly the only video you’ve ever made that hasn’t aged well your one of the smartest youtubers ive ever seen tho!!! Thanks for everything you do man!!!!
This comment hasn't aged well at all.
you were really in your bag for this one, flemlo. excellent video my dude.
thank you flemlo I needed a video to fully breakdown his life. it's crazy when things like this happen I think of you bruh. good work. can I get a link to your lofi playlist please
Hi
Vontae Burfict knocked his brain out of reality
a man with an absent father has issues being mature. shocking
The Coffee Nut Lebron never had a problem
@@gbcolby Cause LeBron has a loving mother... AB didn't have stable parents, hence the way he acts...
Steve J okay so the problem is both parents weren’t good. Cause lots of people have absent fathers and turn out great.
@@gbcolby I just said that will the LeBron part... I was talking about how both AB's parents were not stable... His mother kick him outta the house (Mother of the Year material 🙄) when he was a teen... And his dad is probably like a typically athlete dad (probably where he gets his parenting skills from)... He also grew up in a bad environment, so that might effect how the way he acts...
@@gbcolby I agree, my father was absent and I have become one the greatest that never lived
I absolutely love the analogies you use when you are trying to make people understand!
As a Steeler fan this is a great summation. I mean AB was one of the great Steelers receivers ever and possibly one of the best of all time in the NFL. He was always definitely a primadonna of sorts but after the Burfict hit he went totally off the rails. Yeah correlation doesn't always equal causation but you gotta wonder in this case. For real great analysis my man and your videos are on totally lit for me.
Yo Flem - might be time to start lookin into law school bro. At the start of this vid, i was pretty skeptical about "the Killing Joke Defense"(great comic btw). But by the end, you had me convinced. That's when i realized - considering your channel's content, and your efficacy for defending the character of your subjects: you should seriously consider legal defense. You're a smart cat and if you put the time into getting the prerequisites - you could make the jump from commenting on these athlete's personal lives, to defending their lives in a courtroom setting.
the503CreepOut at this point he will make more money on RUclips in the next 20 years than most lawyers could ever dream, but yes he’d be a great lawyer
Yeah, I’d honestly agree with this. Being a great lawyer involves a solid amount of empathy, perspective taking, attention to detail and skilled storytelling. Flem really does tick all these boxes, based on what I’ve seen.
He did not go Joker and he does have CTE. He is just dim and self-centered lol
Say it to my face.
Wild Willni would break your nose
VenomousStare you wanna know how I got these scars
I always enjoy your commentaries, insightful, logical and respectful. Thanks for doing what you do.
Dude I’m not gonna cap. I don’t watch football but listening to you helps me concentrate on my hw 😂😂 low key starting to get into the NFL, more of an NBA guy
Personally, i think he is a clone, malfunctioning.
Carrie Haley facts
@Sam Washam yes
Who's Batman in this analogy? I know Bill Belichik is Thanos.
The raiders GM
I just got a Joker ad lol.
Me too.
You make a lot of sense. It gives me a different insight to AB. I hope all his old friends in Pittsburgh see your video and think about that possibility.
Im glad you cleared up that AB is nothing like everyones favorite joker!
Crazy is bro is about to be in the SB w Brady on the Buccs lol
He's a narcissist in my opinion. He feels he can do and get away with anything and everything.
And he’s still a millionaire because of it, so, hell maybe we should all be narcissistic
Leaning toward Borderline Personality Disorder.
A narcissist isn't psycho which is what he is now. I agree he was a narcissist before the last game of 2018. But what he is now is pretty far from being a narcissist. And into psychosis.
Bruh the OBVIOUS ANSWER is....
-the madden curse-
You have a good point about that hit. I have been following you for 5 months and you are doing a good job
You do some really great work.. awesome storytelling.. you are entertaining!!
That moment when you are a Pittsburgh fan in 2019 offseason 😟
