You ain't that, TikTok Boy!

So when AJ Brown says in his tweet; "He admitted that he grabbed you but don’t act like your like that or ever was" AJ was being facetious?

Yeah...nah.

Yes, so he should have said the refs hadn't called holding all game long so why did they call me on that play? IMO, there is a difference between the "right" call and the technically correct call. A smart statement would have been why is something that wasn't a penalty for 59 minutes suddenly a penalty? Was JSS even the intended receiver?

I figured he was aiming for subtlety, or not wanting to seem like a sore loser, or not to get fined, or a little bit of all three.

Okay, then I think saying nothing is more effective. Because if what you plausibly offer was his motivation his statement had mostly the opposite effect. If the accused miscreant says it was the right call then it was is how everyone seems to perceive it. You are saying that maybe thats not what he meant. I can see it.

The dude was asked this question by reporters just hours after the biggest heartbreaking loss of his life. These are athletes, not politicians. Expecting a high level of nuance is unrealistic. I just give the guy credit for not acting like a big whiner because a lot of other players would have.

I think he gave the whiner's version of right call but bad call.

EXACTLY.

Amazing this has to be explained.

I never expected a high level of nuance. I expected a no comment. Ice brought up the perceived attempted nuance. He might be right.

That was a really low blow by Juju. Completely unnecessary. Show some class.

There is such a thing as a sore winner. Juju fits into that mold

Glad he KO'd Burfict, but beyond that Juju is an afterthought to me.

Great post. He could have be loved like Hines Ward. Instead he's turned into a childish prick. Shame but glad it's for another team.

Anyone else remember after we traded AB, AJ Brown tweeting begging the Steelers to draft him? Imagine what could have been had we not traded up for Bush.

He tweeted "I’ll be the new AB in Pittsburgh ...lol draft me . Just give me a different number." Pretty clear he was just joking, but yeah, looking back in hindsight that stings.

I thought he said he would take #84 so people could keep using their old Brown jerseys.
