I never understood the assertion. You hear it on TV too..

Obviously Brown is a piece of shit, but not the kind we want to sign.

This piece of shit been murdered or land in jail yet?

CTE? Fame, yes!

No sympathy for the dumbass. He's been a head case his whole NFL life and looking back you have to give Tomlin credit for dealing with his shit for so long.

Don’t do drugs kids

This is typical behavior for him. Has been for a long time. The only difference now is Tomlin isn't around to cover his crazy ass. Gotta give MT credit for keeping a lid on the thug behaviour as long as he did.

Jesus. If Charlie Sheen was a football player.... :shake:

CTE. Though from what Ryan Clark has said earlier this season, this might also be in part just who this guy is. But CTE probably removed whatever mental restraints he had to govern his behavior.

Millions have some form of CTE from playing school yard football and other sports. We don't do and say the dumb things AB does. Quit giving him a pass by saying it's just CTE. He's a racist punk, that's what he is!

I would assume it's not the CTE even though he may develop that. It's more the fact that he's having trouble dealing with and accepting his NFL career is over. Some people are just self destructive and when you're wealthy its even easier to be that way because you think you're invincible.

CTE

CTE is for sure a potential contributor. But as I was watching the Aaron Hernandez documentary, I feel like too many of these head cases are being blamed exclusively on CTE. Why can't a dude just be crazy? It seems to me you have a young immature kid thrown into fame way too soon, got crazy drunk off the spotlight, and has no idea how to handle it.

Or, there's science:

cwd-chronic wasting disease. Deer are getting it.

I'm talking about it as the only factor. In Hernandez's case, he was getting into tons of trouble probably way before the worst of the CTE, right? Same with Antonio Brown - he's been crazy cocky his entire career. Seems CTE brings the worst out of bad tendencies, but it starts with a person having bad tendencies to begin with.
