Antonio Brown seemingly vows to end social media antics, focus on football

Share

Antonio Brown has been spending way too much time on social media.

The Raiders' new star receiver has been seemingly unable to move on from the Steelers, firing shot after shot at his former club in Pittsburgh.

First, Brown took a jab at Steelers coach Mike Tomlin. Then, Brown trashed former teammate JuJu Smith-Schuster over his costly fumble in Week 16 of last season. Things got weird Monday when Brown attempted to continue dragging Smith-Schuster by posting an old DM from the wideout asking for advice while he was in college.

That didn't go over well, and Brown deleted the post Tuesday before apparently vowing to end his social media antics because he doesn't want to feed the "fake news."

Sure.

Brown focusing on football would be best for the Silver and Black as they try to begin a renaissance in Year 2 of Jon Gruden's second reign. But we're skeptical that Brown will quit throwing social media bombs for more than a day or two.
