How do you shame a guy who knows no shame?
Twitter. That’s how.
Former Pittsburgh Steelers All-Pro Antonio Brown sent out the tweet below. Then he deleted it.

That was Brown’s response to Ben Roethlisberger’s halftime interview Sunday night. While the quarterback was speaking with Michele Tafoya on NBC, he claimed regret for calling out Brown during a radio hit after the loss in Denver last season.
Roethlisberger stated he was upset that his comment about Brown running a poor route during that game ruined a friendship.

Whether he was sincere or not is a different story. But at least Roethlisberger gave a politically correct answer to defuse the situation with Brown.
Mr. Big Chest didn’t seem to buy it though, did he? Based on his subtweet, the new Oakland Raider is suggesting he and Big Ben were never friends in the first place.
But, as Brown should know, social media is a dangerous thing. There is no white-out for the internet.
It didn’t take long for folks to find Brown’s previous posts where he extolled the virtue of his friendship with his quarterback.

So, one of two things is true. Either Brown was just bowing up online to make himself look like a tough guy and forgot what he had previously posted.
Or, when he posted those images in easier times, he was being just as disingenuous then, as he is insisting Roethlisberger was with Tafoya.
Either way, it’s a bad look for Mr. Frozen Feet. And that’s probably why he took down the post.
Don’t worry. The regular season has yet to start. Brown will make himself look dumb again soon enough.
