Antonio Brown – Important
WR Antonio Brown went on the offensive while meeting with reporters on Thursday. Brown has been the center of attention this week, as he was seen venting in the direction of offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner during Pittsburgh’s 42-37 setback to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. The six-time Pro Bowl selection then offered a curious “trade me” response to a critical tweet from former Steelers public relation staffer Ryan Scarpino on social media the following day while failing to show up for work at the team facility. Brown set the record straight on Thursday, saying that he doesn’t want to be traded and attributed his anger during and after Sunday’s game to the team’s 0-1-1 start to the season. “We were losing the game. We haven’t won a game yet. I’m not on the sideline begging for the ball or making statements that you guys (say I) make. I’m (angry). We’re losing. We (stink),” the 30-year-old said.
