PITTSBURGH -- Eddie Brown was with his son when the Albany Empire of the Arena Football League called him to offer a jersey retirement appearance.
Brown asked his boy, Pittsburgh Steelers star receiver Antonio Brown, to join him in Albany, New York, where "Touchdown Brown" became arguably the AFL's best player of all time. Antonio agreed, and the two have been celebrating the moment ever since.
The Browns will be honorary captains for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Soul. Antonio is headed to Albany via private jet, of course.
