Bruce Arians & Buccaneers Say Antonio Brown Quit Over Lack Of Targets vs Jets | Pat McAfee Reacts 

"Everyone is mic'd up, we're going to learn." If it makes the NFL look bad those recordings will never see the light of day.

When my ankle is killing me, I always do jumping jacks in the end zone with a smile on my face.

His big mistake was crossing TB12 when he complained that Gronk was getting all the targets and Tom walked away after that. Don’t Bite the Hand That Feeds You.

Dejavu...... It's probably been forgotten how his exit went down in Pittsburgh, but it wasn't much different that what is going on now. In the last week of the season in 2018, Brown was nursing an injury so Tomlin to go home, skip practice the next day and rest. Brown did and then never responded the rest of the week to calls, texts, and correspondence from the team but showed up out of the blue on Sunday to play when Tomlin told him that he wasn't playing. Brown's story was that he was shocked and angry that he told Tomlin that he was injured and Mike said to "go home."

Not many QB’s spread the ball around like Brady does. For him to complain about targets his way from Brady, Brady said his favorite receiver. His favorite is the one that’s open. Gronk makes himself open and then fights more yards after the catch. He also is a great pass blocker which is why he is on the field so much.

Hey coach my ankle is broke, I didn't get enough targets in the first half

What B.Arians said sounds grammatically accurate to how AB talks.

The fact that AB was pissing and moaning about targets, then turns around and claim he was sitting because of his ankle, it's pretty clear the ankle was just an excuse for his behavior, instead of manning up to it.

Why isn’t anyone asking Mike Evans what happened? Seems like he was the last point of contact.

It was going to happen, and it finally has

It'd be different if it was the first-team he had issues with but he's had issues with multiple teams now Antonio Brown is the problem

Everyone knew this…the fact anyone actually believed AB is sad 😂it was obvious

As far as the second class citizen goes.. He was put on notice and if it were not for Brady he wouldn't even got a sniff of a opportunity.. He should've been thanking Brady and being the first one in and the last one out everyday. No Bullshizz.

Ankle seemed fine when we was jumping around shirtless in the endzone

As always, im gonna wait for evidence until i have an opinion, as should all of you.

"He said, she said" is still very applicable to Antonio Brown.....

Pat: “Everyone was mic’d up and the audio will bring things to light” Mason Rudolphs audio never got released after the incident with Myles Garrett, I have a feeling if it makes the NFL look bad they won’t release a thing and put the blame on the player

Being a Jets fan, I took this as a victory.

Thank you Ty for calling out AB instead of giving him another benefit of the doubt in order to get an interview.

First game back from covid, you catch 10 for 101 yards with 15 targets. Next game you get 3 for 26 yards with 3 targets, but quit during the 3rd because you didn't get enough targets?? Typical Brown BS.

BA has an interesting point. If you can't play over health, it's still his job to tell the doctors and not wait until hes called in to drop the bomb. Even if the fight was over the ankle I think AB is wrong

He literally had 15 targets the week prior lol

That one route AB ran tho was insane haha he just flowed and beat the breaks off that corner like it was cakewalk

With yet another Tampa WR out, you gotta think Edelman is dodging like ten calls a day from Brady lmao

AB : I'm not getting Targeted Enough!!! Bruce: Alright AB Your IN AB: Na you didnt target me enough I'm OUT

No way BA says this unless its true players would revolt if he went to media and lied.

I can't believe people were actually starting to believe AB.

AB has been, is and always will be a DRAMA QUEEN...just saying the dude has the emotional intelligence of a four year old who throws temper tantrums when not getting his way.

My immediate take on the Antonio tantrum that he was that he was pissed he was being played enough. He was off-field during an important offensive drive, and he had already been playing and seemed perfectly able, plus it seemed like a hissy fit rather than a perfectly reasonable "I'm too hurt".

Aj’s face when Pat throws the ole’ mini belt over his shoulder 😂

The questionable “Whaaatt?” Got me dying 😂

It’s a shame to see someone squander so much talent and potential 😞

With AB's track record can't help but to side with Arians on this Once again he is his own worse enemy

Shannon Sharpe called it from the beginning… He said “yeah Gronk gettin all his targets.” And he is was right.

Everyone talking about how AB can’t be trusted because of his past. Let’s talk about Bruce starting Gronk with a broken rib and Godwin running sidelines with a torn ACL. And having fournette running routes after his injury led to IR. And Winston playing with a torn meniscus and fractured thumb. His past isn’t clean too.

That ankle looked ok when he did jumping jacks and ran off the field. That might come back and bite him.

Can they stop saying one of the best football players of all time to describe Antonio Brown

Ain't no way am I gonna believe Antonio Browns story given his past lies

If he could have just stayed in Pittsburgh, kept his mouth shut, and controlled his ego, he would be a sure fire Hall of Famer. Neither AB or Leveon Bell will ever recapture the magic that they had in their primes at Pittsburgh

one side has a clean record and the other side is littered with problems

AB somehow always the victim no matter who involved…

Listen to podcast Pardon My..where they interviewed Uber driver on night Antonio Brown left. He said Brown said it was because he wasn't getting throws. This lines up with an argument Brown seems to be having with TB12 just before Arians told him to go in and Brown refused. If his ankle was bothering him during the half he could have told the coaches,trainers and Arians...

If we do not ever hear the audio. AB is telling the truth.

Thank you Ty

Everyone knew AB is injured/was injured. He even stated that he'd use his 3 game suspension DUE TO FAKEING HIS VAX CARD (which they didn't fire him for) to heal his ankle. I am willing to bet that he was worried about getting his incentives because he thought it was the last game of the season (and probably forgot about the 17th game)...

I’m I the only guy who noticed that AB ran/jumped off the field and into the tunnel! His ankle looked great!!

When the boys start the “What?” I lose it every time.

Why were those the saddest and most distraught “what”s I’ve heard the boys ever do

“The finger did go across”??? That’s how everyone does the “your outta here” move. Cmon Pat.

ABs injury and his exit from the game are 2 totally seperate issues He got hurt in practice and was quiestionable for the game. Everybody knew that. He got cleared to play and decided to suck it up and play. That got settled before the game even started. The IN GAME issues are different. He started throwing a tantrum and complaining about not getting the ball and refused to go in. The coach then Benched him and everybody saw the video of how the actions transpired. The reason he exited the game was related about him not getting the ball - the injury situation got settled way before that AB now is trying to relate both situations to save his face AND I DONT BLAME HIM one bit (many would do that if they were on his spot) His career is on the line and he got to throw his hail marys so save it before the clock hits 0 but it simply is not the truth. He got those 15 targets for like 110 yds vs Panthers and thought it was going to be like that every week.

This show im not sure if the guys realize it but there revolutionizing sports talk and just media in general. The coverage on Ab n this topic just shows it perfectly. Just unbiased evidence based news. Major props to this whole crew and thankyou

Your rock pat!

Dude could not handle himself with bill on the patriots and Brady on the bucs he needs help it’s sad

Dude had 5 targets in the game before he left halfway...

You're not hearing the mic'd up part lol. We didnt get to hear what Brady said to the Kansas defense from last years superbowl.

Pat..you are my favorite new channel. Thanks for everything. Bingo Bengo.

I don't believe a damn word AB says. The man thrives on having all eyes on him and right now that's what he's got.

There's only one problem. One of the parties doesn't have an ounce of credibility, and that party is Antonio Brown.

Everyone says "I hope he gets the help he needs'.... Is there help for being spoiled and selfish? Whats the help for there never being enough money?

I broke my ankle. My ankle is broken. 😂😂😂

Forget about all of the details. While titillating, there is no excuse for ABs exit during a crucial 3rd down. End of story.

As an AB apologist I swear if this whole thing is just about a lack of targets, I'll be beyond disappointed. If this outburst is based around a lack of targets and he is lying about his ankle, there is no more AB sympathy from me.

Isnt there video of them on the sideline?

Like Shannon Sharpe said everybody at this time of year is playing with injuries cuz things ain’t going ur way with catches to get money u wanna say ur hurt to the coaches who know ur not hurt

Its so simple on what happened yes he had a bad ankle but did not go through protocol or communicate to anyone that he didnt feel good enough to play leading up to the game most likely because AB wanted to hit his incentives, then at halftime when he wasnt getting alot of targets by that point he got the sooks and gave up on the game and used the ankle as the scape goat.

Give it a couple years and I’m looking forward to the Crime In Sports episode about Antonio Brown.

I love how careful McAfee is with his choice of words when he is on these topics.

Somehow I had a feeling this was the real reason why. But the game wasn't even over yet, fight harder for targets amd they will come.

I believe he was injured like a lot of players but now to save himself, he’s just tryna leave out key details and try to save himself. I feel like if he had a 1-2 touchdowns that game, he would still be on the team and wouldn’t have that outburst

Nice Dove in the background

So you admit to verbally abusing an employee. By using the f word toward him. Lol

AB didnt quit, he just had the twisties.. Hes actually stunning and brave

With his history, AB doesn't get the benefit of the doubt.

I love the what bit

There he go with the Baby title to the shoulder. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

If AB was not as talented and famous in the sport we all love, we would have been done with him years ago ! That is a FACT !

dude was on pace for double digit targets that game😂 makes no sense on either side lmao.

What the hell is that giant stack of papers on Pat’s desk? 😂

Knew this was coming lol. Excuses excuses!

8:07 Arians said AB and Mike Evans were both on “pitch counts” which means he knew they were hurt and couldn’t play every down. Arians admits to kicking AB out, sending him to the locker room from the sideline because AB wouldn’t play. And Arians said after the game Sunday that AB was no longer a Buc. But now we’re to believe that the Bucs wanted to get AB evaluated AFTER they kicked him off the team some time this week?

This is literally a case of the boy who cried wolf, but is there a wolf is the question we want answered.

I’d like to know what drugs were given to AB. Opioids can do weird things to a person. I’ve seen people get uncontrollably angry over the slightest stuff while taking them. If he’s a head case already, worried about his ankle and bonuses, and is taking powerful drugs too. That would explain a lot. It would also explain why he looked so nimble in spite being hurt. You feel nothing when you’re on that stuff.

Full send podcast did an interview with him today. Coming out tomorrow so we’ll see what he says

Ungrateful man! My (nephew) Victor Cruz took advantage of his chance and he will be always grateful! I'm a retired Firefighter Captain and Im grateful for my opportunity to serve at 911...we all should be grateful for life!!

He said "Its his choice, its his body" but not when it comes to the jab!!!!!

This episode of man in the arena is going to be sick

They will only release a small clipped audio of what fits the narrative.. wait and see

Brown is a train wreck. Thumbs up to Tom Brady. He is a class act!

During this speculation phase, my position is AB is toast. I’m siding with TB because AB has a long history, (someone is clearly lying here) liars are extremely arrogant thinking they won’t ever get caught, yet do. Same as thieves, so arrogant and full of pride only to get caught. Then filled with regret without remorse or repentance. I’m siding with TB and think the sideline microphone system will reveal AB is fully delusional. My only question; is AB related to Jussie S?

BA looks like Godwin from Duck Commander. Or Duck Dynasty.

I bet the media has the audio already but they're holding onto it to drive clicks up.

So if he’s injured why does he want the ball more 😂 ab has made plenty of money I don’t know if doing this was worth it for his career going forward

The ankle injury is the first excuse for Antonio clown by the time all this is over he'll have 100 more excuses

If what is recorded on those “Mics” is damning for the Buccs / League… you’ll never hear it.

Gee, I wonder who to believe in this incredibly complicated situation?

Everybodys telling the truth AND lying at the same time lol ...AB had a bum ankle but the deal was he'd play through it. But when he didnt get his targets he sited the ankle as the ISSUE Arians knew About the ankle but also knew that AB agreed to play through it. Everbody just wants to come out clean....lol

The story the Bucs are telling keeps changing.....

Has everybody forgotten that AB was jumping around in the end-zone. I am pretty sure that his ankle wasn't bothering him that bad.

At halftime GRONK: 6 targets AB: 5 targets Evans: 4 targets

And yet Derrick Henry is doing anything he can to get back from injury to help his team in the playoffs. That’s what a professional does. Hell Ronnie Lott had them cut off his finger so he could play.
