Antonio Brown to Ben Roethlisberger: Shut up already

Antonio Brown replaced barbs directed toward the Steelers and Ben Roethlisberger with frostbitten feet and helmet grievances this summer, but he’s back to playing the hits now that the latter two fronts have quieted down.

During an interview with Michele Tafoya for the Sunday Night Football telecast of the Steelers’ game against the Titans, Roethlisberger again said that he regretted calling Brown out publicly after a loss to the Broncos last season.

“Obviously it ruined a friendship,” Roethlisberger said.

Brown replied to a tweet sharing video of that interview on Tuesday and made it clear that he doesn’t feel that there was any friendship to ruin between the two players. He also suggests that Roethlisberger find other topics of conversation.

“Never friends just had to get my ends…….shut up already,” Brown wrote.

The Raiders and Steelers don’t play each other this season, although it remains to be seen whether or not that leads to everyone shutting up about the way things ended for Brown in Pittsburgh.

  1. Only a matter of time before he gets tired of griping about the Steelers and decides he doesn’t like anybody on the Raiders either.

  2. Roethlisberger was asked a question and answered it.

    Brown responded unprompted and unnecessarily.

    So who is the one that needs to “shut up already”?

  3. “The Raiders and Steelers don’t play each other this season, although it remains to be seen whether or not that leads to everyone shutting up about the way things ended for Brown in Pittsburgh.”

    Between the media and butthurt Steelers fans, it’ll never end.

  4. Antonio Brown and Andrew Luck are the smartest guys in the NFL. Luck walks away with millions. AB left the Steelers for more money, stayed healthy in the preseason by skipping the preseason and is getting more money from a helmet endorsement.

    Get all the money you can get.

  5. Ben was asked a question and he answered it. If Brown would just shut up, the questions would stop being asked. Most people learn this while growing up… Apparently Brown hasn’t learned that yet…

  6. And to think Davis, born with a silver spoon to feed him, gifted this wing nut Brown with all those guaranteed millions.
    You football fans are foolish to pay into this circus.

  7. Like Ben never got into trouble before his marriage ..yeah he’s a real role noodle ! ha ha
    the honeymoons been over for years
    the divorce papers
    were served

    they both need to shut up already

  8. Brown needs to realize that Ben played a HUGE part in making Brown who he is as a WR. He force fed him the ball like not many other QBs could or would.

  9. Brown should just shut up himself. I am no fan of Ben at all but Brown makes himself look like the stereotype for a spoiled, selfish, diva receiver.

  10. After watching hard knocks it has become clear to me Antonio Brown is an idiot and that’s it. Not very intelligent at all.

  11. I give it three or four weeks before AB starts calling out the Raiders because his numbers will be down. Not a chance he will take any of the blame for missing most of camp.

  12. Why exactly are you here then?

    Antonio going to be missing Ben by, oh, week 3 or so.
    ——————————————-
    Guess what? The Raiders beat the Steelers last year! The Steelers tied a game with the Cleveland Browns. Don’t look for Big Ben in the playoffs. There won’t be 4 easy games each year for them.

  14. Better watch it AB, Favre made Percy Harvin and Sidney Rice. Once they left Minny for Seattle, they were never the same players. Trust me AB will be outta the league in 2 years.

  15. So by his own admission, Brown is a FAKE! Clearly Ben thought they were friends at some point. Nope! Just AB being a fake, and a flake.

  16. So what did AB do again? He talks a lot and uses social media too much… ok.. got it… what did Ben do? He is accused of sexually assaulting two women and scaring the piss out of a porn star.. SO why again is AB the problem??

  17. Ben was asked a question. He answered it.
    If anybody needs to shut up already, it’s that delusional idiot.
    Brown is mentally ill.

    ===========

    You know why. “Certain” people don’t like ostentatious, extravagant behavior. I get it, I’m part of the old school. Let your game speak for itself, act like you’ve been there, etc. I’m part of the Raider Nation that was dreading the news of our potential trade, in part because of the distractions but mostly because it seemed like he quit on his former team.

    But when you can dump on AB for being “extra” and defend a scumbag like Ben? Methinks it’s an issue of Melanin aversion. Just because Ben isn’t his own brand and constantly seeking the limelight doesn’t mean he’s wearing any white hats here.

    Now let those thumbs down pour in.

    Without Ben, Brown would be nothing.

    Without Brown, Ben won two Super Bowls.

    ============

    Dude, what? Pitt managed Ben big time his rookie year in a smashmouth offense. AB came in as a 6th round return guy. I think they kind of made each other.

  20. What are his “ends” AB just had to get? I’m never sure what language he is speaking.

  21. At this point in time Ben just needs to not answer anything about Antonio Brown; this nut job that is AB will implode soon enough on his own and then can just quietly smile when questions are asked and say, Antonio is not on my team, I suggest you contact the Raider organization.

  22. I seem to remember an entire offseason of Mr Big Ego hating on ex teammates like a jilted girlfriend after his temper tantrum finally got him shipped off to Oakland. Reality is a meal best served with facts. By the way, thanks for Devin Bush, the trade was the icing on the goodbye cake.

  23. It’s too bad AB and Vontaze Burfict are now on the same team. I’d love to see a repeat of the hit Burfict put on AB in 2016. Some people say that hit is what knocked AB off his rocker. Maybe a repeat would knock his brain back into the real world.

  24. Just play ball. Big Ben is one of the greatest QB’s I’ve ever seen, and Antonio Brown could even be the best WR I’ve seen. I love them both, at least on the field. The media loves these guys off the field because they pay a lot of bills. All is good. Just play football!

  25. AB deleted the tweet pretty quickly. Musta been told that it made him look like a bigger idiot than normal.

  26. AB should take his own advice and keep his own mouth shut for a change….although that will NEVER happen.

  27. Totally class less self absorbed kid. Brown continues to show everyone what he is made of yet the so called football experts sports announcers continue to stroke Brown. Watching the interview Ben said noting wrong and just another example of Brown choosing to show his head is up his back side most of the time.

  28. Brown got out at the right time. He has plenty of gas left in the tank while the Steelers are barely running on fumes. Remember, this is a team that got Tebowed out of the playoffs and has been going downhill ever since. Little Ben is lucky he’s not playing the Raiders. He can never beat them and that’s got to hurt. A lot.
