    UPDATE: Brown to meet with Art Rooney II

    Looks like AB will now meet with Art, which I think is good. AB is a shithead but I think he probably has some issues that are valid.

    The Pittsburgh Steelers seemed to be taking one final Hail Mary at convincing Antonio Brown to stay in Pittsburgh. And according to a report from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Brown has no interest in making things work. Per this tweet from Rapoport, team owner Art Rooney II flew to Florida in the hopes of meeting with Brown. That didn’t happen.

    At this point I'd sit him down without pay for the season before giving in to his pouty whims if there's no fair trade offers out there.

    Guarantee this idiot will be broke 10 years out of the league.

    Don't underestimate what can happen when Brown and Rooney actually sit down and meet. If Rooney thinks he can't get trade value, he will likely try to talk AB into forgetting the past and starting over with the Steelers.

    Any word on whether AB and AJRII have agreed on a third party to handle security for the sit down?

    Will there be any windows in the meeting room?

    Will they be closed and securely locked?

    Will there be any furniture in the room?

    These are very important questions as well.

He would gladly lose games as long as he gets all his stats and the team he is playing for gets him the ball constantly. Playoff football and championships would be nice....but not at the expense of him "getting his".

    Winning is clearly somewhere further down on his list of things that are important to him.

    That is clearly AB's definition of "Business is Boomin'".

    In his twitter Q&A yesterday AB also shared his thoughts on his upcoming meeting with AJRII.

    Nailed it. AB wants respect but he doesn't actually have a proposal for what that is. Money? Days off? Input into team decisions? A Tv show? All he's got is that QB is catered to more than WR or RB. Welcome to the NFL. No one cares?

    There is one way this all makes a bit if sense. That would be if Ben has decided he can let his preparation slip. Figured he knows the offense, seen most of what an NFL defense can do, and determined he doesn't need to work as much leading up to game day. Then AB is pissed that Ben can coast and he can't. Sees Ben tossing picks, blaming others, and palling around with coaches during the week. Meanwhile AB is catching 1000 balls a day or whatever.

    Somehow, I doubt that is the scenario. Some part would've come out by now.

    Lack of commitment by unidentified others allegedly was one of AB's grievances

    That's one of the biggest TWEETS I've ever seen, it must be serious! But at Reggie's age I guess his eye sight isn't that great. I'm still pissed he tried to kill Queen Elizabeth.
