Antonio Brown addresses his relationship with Mike Tomlin, former Steelers teammates Ben Roethlisberger and Ryan Clark
Antonio Brown took some time on Twitter to reminisce about his glory days with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Once upon a time, Brown was arguably the best wide receiver in the entire NFL, and was a fan-favorite in Pittsburgh. Then, when the Steelers dealt Brown to the Las Vegas Raiders, everything changed regarding his football career.
While Brown has his beef with many different figures in the NFL, it’s evident he still has plenty of love for the people who helped him while he was playing for the Steelers, as he explained on Twitter.
“With @_BigBen7 it’s all Love. With @Realrclark25 it’s all Love. You KNOW I love my sensei Coach Tomlin. Anything that any of us have said or done in the past is the PAST. #PittothePALACE,” tweeted the former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver. “Water is under the bridge. I won’t be the one saying anything against anybody that is ever wore The Black and Gold. It’s a Fraternity of Gladiators.”
As you can see, Brown mentioned former Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, defensive back Ryan Clark and of course, head coach Mike Tomlin, by name. Those were three of the biggest stars with the franchise while Brown played there, and it’s obvious they made an impact on him.
One has to wonder if Antonio Brown would be in a different place if he simply opted to remain with the Steelers when he had the chance. It’s a shame the path he’s gone down, but at least the Steelers will always have the fond memories of the wide receiver on this team.
Second arrest warrant reportedly issued for Antonio Brown for unpaid child support
Meanwhile, Brown has another warrant out for his arrest, according to Miami-Dade County court documents obtained by TMZ Sports.
A judge has ordered Brown’s arrest dating back to Aug. 9 for missing $15,000 worth of payments to Wiltrice Jackson. Jackson is one of Brown’s former girlfriends and the mother to his daughter.
In the past, Jackson has successfully sought remedy from the court for the former Steeler’s failure to pay child support.
According to the court documents, Brown can avoid arrest, as he did previously in April, if he makes the outstanding payment. He must also pay an additional $5,000 in attorney fees.
To get out of a previous warrant, Brown coughed up roughly $30,000 in late child support payments, plus extra fees.
The wide receiver who ended his career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers has made few positive headlines since leaving the league. He took over the Albany Empire of the AFL but his ownership fell apart in stunning fashion.
