Antonio Brown Admits He Caused Team A Distraction With Tweet And No-Show

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown is very rarely a distraction on the field in his opponents’ eyes. Rather, he is the focal point of their attention, the player on the field about which they most have to concern themselves, because nobody can hurt them more than he can.

Off the field—or on the sideline—it can be a different story, and the ninth-year wide receiver is aware of it. Following a busy extended weekend in which he blew up on the sidelines, left the locker room ahead of media availability, responded to a former employee on Twitter, and then failed to report to a Monday meeting, he met with the media yesterday to address the past several days.
