Share this: For all of his incredible talent, Antonio Brown might be on thin ice with the Pittsburgh Steelers. After creating a distraction with his ill-conceived Facebook Live video, the Steelers wide receiver delivered a solid yet unspectacular performance against the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game, catching seven passes for 77 yards in Pittsburgh’s 36-17 loss. But more concerning to the Steelers, apparently, was one play early in Sunday’s game when running back DeAngelo Williams scored the team’s first touchdown. According to NFL Network’s Aditi Kinkhabwala, Brown was seen pouting after the score. “His team just scored a touchdown and he was upset that he was wide open and (quarterback Ben) Roethlisberger didn’t go to him,” Kinkhabwala, who was on Pittsburgh’s sideline during

Tom Brady’s ESPN The Magazine Super Bowl Preview Cover Is A Little Bit Ironic
Share this: Love ’em or hate ’em, ESPN really knows how to get the most out of a story. New England Patriots fans have spent the last two years lambasting the Worldwide Leader in Sports for its coverage of the “Deflategate” saga. Patriots fans not only blame ESPN for (incorrectly) giving the story legs but also for prolonging the story with either sketchy reporting (alternative facts, at best?) or loud opinions. So Patriots fans likely will get a kick out of the upcoming cover of ESPN the Magazine’s Super Bowl LI preview which features Brady with the headline “Brady’s Revenge.” One would assume the “revenge” is in reference to Brady and the Patriots looking for retribution on the NFL and especially Roger Goodell for
