Yesterday’s revelations and allegations take me back to the days of that Swedish pop music supergroup. 

Whose pants are on fire?  AB or BA?

His ankle didn't really seem all that bad while doing jumping jacks through the endzone lol.

First thing I thought of.

3 sides to this story. His, theirs, and what really happened. If AB really got mistreated, the Bucs should be penalized. But he has so little credibility at this point. Hard to take him seriously. One thing about the NFL though, all of the sidelines are mic’d up. It’ll be interesting when audio starts “leaking” as to what was actually said. Putting out that statement is going to put the Bucs on the defensive. This thing could get a lot uglier.  

I'm not holding my breath. It seems odd the first account of this version of the story came out days later. This wasn't taking place on a phone call or in a back office. It was in front of multiple people. We are about six years into Antonio Brown unhinged tour, with this being the final act... presumably before a curtain call elsewhere.

A player putting off season ending surgery happens, I don't know, 100 times a season? See Baker Mayfield.

If every single thing he says in this statement is true, it still does not excuse him walking off the field like that.

Doing jumping jacks and jogging to the tunnel doesn’t mean he can run routes at a high rate against healthier athletes.  You know this.   Just say you can’t stand him and don’t believe him.  Lol.

BA. He knows he will be believed before AB so BA can say what he wants.  He has more “credibility”.

Agreed.

My only guess is that they don't want to see him sign to another playoff team?

If he is 100% at fault like they claim he is then who would sign him?  Especially a playoff team.  
 

Plus he’s injured and having surgery.  He can’t play for anyone this season.  
 

No way AB acts the way he acted on Sunday and I don’t release him immediately if I am not at fault in some fashion.  What do they have to lose by releasing him?

And look at how trash Baker was.  He should have had the surgery earlier. He hurt his team more than he helped it.

He's trash anyways ?

Definitely agree there.   They blamed OBJ…………

If we’re going to be all the way real about it, the fact the Bucs didn’t cut him for his fake vaccination card tells me all I need to know about the Bucs and how they do things.  He should have been cut then.  Him and Mike Edwards.  
 

 

But they need both of them soooooooo………….winning cures all.  

PP92....Preach!  Love it.  My opinion based on the narrative that has existed for AB had me feeling like he was at fault.  Same can be said for OBJ, for me, and Aaron Rodgers for that matter.  This is very eye opening for me.  My perception of reality when dealing with pro athletes may need to adjust.  Maybe there is more to the story.  Facts that I may never know or will ever get.  It makes me wonder how often in life I have felt one way or another before I had all the facts or understood the situation fully.

This is the elephant in the room.  The fly in the ointment. The hair in your soup. 

Why is he still under contract?
