Well, we know Brown knows he can share internal team convos with the public now. What’s next, he disagrees with a game plan, shares it in a video, and draws up the plays he wants to run instead? He’s already the GM, so does he become coach next?

What is perplexing to me is he spends all this energy trying to be known as more than just a football player, but never articulates what he wants and isn’t getting beyond being one. My guess is Brown doesn’t want to be a football player in his heart of hearts, but that he also wants the money he can have by being one. It would be analogous to someone knowing they are homosexual but not coming out of closet.

All Antonio Brown’s actions betray a guy who wants to be a media star more than a football player. I feel confident saying that if he could announce his football retirement in exchange for getting paid $30 million to be a media star, he would do it in a nanosecond. Because guys who really want to play don’t act like he is.

Jon Gruden asks Brown if he wants to be a Raider. What he should ask is if he wants to play football and hammer Brown with questions that reveal the answer he doesn’t want to give, A Few Good Men style.
