Two things in the world are hard to predict, the weather and Antonio Brown‘s next move. It has been a minute since Brown took a snap in the NFL, but his antics have continued to keep him relevant. AB spent the last two years picking a fight with Tom Brady by taking repeated shots at him.
In a shocking move, Antonio Brown decided it was time to bury the hatchet with Tom Brady and mend things with TB12. He posted an audio clip of himself speaking to his former teammate on call wherein he issued an apology to him for his behavior. This move led fans to believe that AB has become a better person and is no longer the person who trifles with people over trivial matters.
Just a few hours after that, Antonio Brown took a shot at ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith. The host of First Take posted a video of him attending the NBA season opener with the caption ‘NBA BACK!’ on X. In the video, a cameraman was filming Smith walking in the tunnel, making his way into the arena with his chest puffed. The man looked like he was there for business. This walk seemed hilarious to AB who reposted it on his account.

Realistically, Brown’s comments do hold some merit in this scenario as Stephen A. could pass off as a head coach of either team with his ‘purely business’ facial expression and style of walking.
Stephen A. Smith might not be an NBA player, but he could soon be compensated like one. The analyst is nearing the end of his contract with ESPN. Negotiations have been heated between the network and Smith who is rumored to have turned down ESPN’s initial offer of $18 million per year for 5-years. He is on track to become a $100 million man as his new contract could offer him anywhere between $20-$25 million a year.

The wide receiver first joined the New England Patriots after being released by the Steelers. He did not last long in Boston but found a home in Florida when Tom Brady came calling to reunite in Tampa Bay. The duo won a Super Bowl together and AB helped in the big game as he caught a touchdown pass.
Their spat began after Antonio Brown left the field in the middle of the Bucs-Jets game, which led to Bruce Arians releasing him from the team. Since then, he has not played a game in the NFL.
