Antonio Brown may no longer be an NFL player, but he has now transitioned into becoming a full-time media entertainer. The former wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers continues to stay in the news by taking timely shots at key personalities. A lot of things have changed over the last year or two in Brown’s life, but the one constant that remains is his anger toward Tom Brady.
The seven-time Super Bowl winner brought Antonio Brown aboard during his time with the New England Patriots, and then eventually when he joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. For a long time, Tom Brady was considered Brown’s best friend and the only man to whom he listened to.
However, things took a turn for the worse after his infamous walk-off against the New York Jets, his final game in the NFL. Appearing on Jason Whitlock‘s Fearless podcast, Brown blamed Brady for his breakdown.
I come back in 2021 versus Carolina, I go for 100 yards I realized Tom Brady don't want to throw me the ball. The organization is not in my best interest, the team players are not in my best interest, now I got to do what's right for myself! That's why you see me walk off the field during the Jets game because that's the trauma.Antonio Brown said
He basically went on a rant, blaming the one man who offered him a chance when nobody else would for his behavioral issue.
Antonio Brown has continued to take frequent shots at Tom Brady since dancing his way out of the league
Brown faced suspension for three games in 2021 for violation of COVID protocols. He then returned in the game against the Carolina Panthers and had himself a night as he caught 10 passes while racking up 101 yards in total. Despite this, he remains mad at Brady for not throwing enough passes towards him.
Nonetheless, this is not the first time that Brown has called out Brady publicly. During the quarterback’s public divorce from supermodel Gisele Bundchen, he bombarded him with a series of tweets trolling him and rubbing salt into his wounds.
Towards the end of his tenure with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, AB feels that the entire organization, including Brady, conspired against him and despite him being open on many plays, he never got the passes that he rightfully should have. All of this ultimately led to his public meltdown in the game against the Jets. Since then, he has been following his passions in music and other business endeavors. It is safe to say that Tom Brady and his relationship seem to be broken beyond repair at this point.
