Antonio Brown
Antonio Brown aka Mr. Big Chest, aka the blonde mustache, aka the locker room cancer went on a tear this offseason. He meticulously manufactured his way out of Pittsburgh because of beef with Ben Rothelisberger. He began his plan last year when he inexplicably missed Pittsburgh's final game. This absence caused them to miss the playoffs all together. He then spent the offseason chirping away at Ben and all around good guy Juju Smith-Schuster. His angle was and is that he felt disrespected by Big Ben's "owner mentality" (whatever that means). There have been rumblings for a while that Brown although incredible on the field is sensitive and temperamental off of it. He appeared to be irked by the rise of Smith-Schuster and has always been a numbers first guy by all accounts. He continued his exodus from the team by bleaching his mustache and hair. He then began a string of irrational and non-sensical instagram lives where he referred to himself as Mr. Big Chest and demanded more money. This recent behaviour is just the tip of the iceberg. Brown has some incredible acts in his past as well. He has been caught throwing furniture out of a 2 story window, exploding on the sideline during games and going live on facebook in the locker room.
The Steelers had finally had enough. They dealt Brown for pennies on the dollar (a third and fifth round pick) to the Oakland Raiders. Brown responded by cutting off his god awful, Dragon Balls Z- esq. due (thank god). He then ingratiated himself to his new QB Dereck Carr and has been acting completely normal (by his standard) for weeks now. Personally, I think this guy is a total piece of shit but you have to give him credit. Instead of going the normal route of the disgruntled wide receiver (not showing up to the team) he decided to take it a step further. He made people question his mental state, all the while torpedoing his trade value. Not only did he get out of the place he hated so much but he screwed the franchise into accepting essentially nothing in return. Credit where its do Mr. Brown, you sir are an evil genius.
