The big question is... What set him off? We can only hope AB provides his side of the story.

Can you say... Bipolar issues? Anger issues? Other mental health issues? The dude's got a screw loose.

[wab]

He’s gotten about 20 too many one more chances

[wab]

I lol’d

[Xee]

I was absolutely amazed that the Bucs signed him after all that helmet crap with the Raiders and that time he started throwing furniture off a balcony and almost hit a kid.

Yeah, the guy definitely needs help but he also seems like a shitty person. I'd say this is the last straw and no one will sign him again but teams get desperate in the playoffs and based on these past couple years, it seems they'll look past almost anything.

[Xee]

Here's another angle:

[wab]

They didn’t even let him take the bus back…

[southdakbearfan]

CTE, Crazy, Bipolar or whatever. The dude is whacked and needs help.

[dplank]

[mmmc_35]

So he definitely seems to have a mental health issue, weather it be cute or a borderline personality type disorder. Funny and sad.

[The Marshall Plan]

Let's just hope that somehow he gets the help he needs before he hurts himself or somebody else.

[IE]

They didn’t even let him take the bus back…

His behavior was inexcusable but I also believe it is inexcusable if he wanted transportation back and the team didn't make that happen during what was clearly an episode of some sort. I hope they offered to get him home or somewhere safely. I'm assuming they did.

Mental health is one of the biggest crises that this country faces. AB clearly has some issues and needs to get some help. I agree TMP, I hope he finds it soon.

[dplank]

Not every rich entitled asshole who acts a fool is having a crisis of some sort. Maybe he’s just a cry baby who couldn’t handle getting benched earlier in the game?

[UOK]

I don't know what his deal is, but he's an eccentric who beyond football seems incomprehensibly dumb. Guy will no doubt be mixed up in some tragedy before long.

It's entirely possible. As WAB said, he's had about 20 too many chances. But I'd err on the side of caution and if he needs the help I hope he gets it. If it turns out that he's just an entitled prick (which all signs point to "yes") then absolutely, fuck him.

I 100% agree with this here, given his past issues on and off the football field.

At some point it is on the person.

So apparently he freaked out because they benched him in order to keep him from meeting some sort of playing time incentive in his contract.

[dplank]

Ohhhhhh shit that is LOW. I don't blame him for losing his shit, but he probably cost himself even more money. Who would take him now?

Completely possible

I dont want to get too much into it - or rain down (though I want to) on AB -

Too much of a chance its something in the brain for my taste

That is shitty, but at the same time, Arians told him "one misstep and you're gone," and he got suspended 3 games for COVID violations, yet they kept him anyway. Arians probably let him know that he'd financially punish him this way, but Brown clearly called his bluff since Arians put up with all of AB's bullshit for a couple years now with impunity.

Imagine how much AB crap there's been that we simply haven't heard. The guy is likely a walking drama factory with every breath, and Arians and co. are probably relieved as hell to get him the fuck outta there.

More to the story

I tend to believe this over the benching for $ reason.

[UOK]

Yeah, so he's just an asshole.

[o-pus #40 in B major]

Maybe he's an asshole with mental health issues and a flair for drama.

I generally agree with this. I feel no sympathy for him. I do think he has something mentally not right. I think wording, crisis vs an issue are very different. He wasn't covered in his own shit. He made his decision.

I applaud the team for telling him to find his own ride. Fuck that, you quit, I'm sure he wouldn't have been super great on the bus/plane. He made his bed.

Professional athlete getting paid unimaginable wages for playing a sport.

Be professional, don’t be a prick, appreciate how lucky you are.

[Atkins&Rebel]

For someone who is too hurt to play, he sure had some nice hops and skips and jumps walking off the field.

There's something to be said for your point here.

I have an ex daughter-in-law who has... let's call them personality issues. She lost custodianship of her kids because of psych eval done on both parents. Without getting into it which would take too long, she takes no responsibility for issues she causes and thinks she's this huge victim and everybody else is the problem in her life. It's one thing to have mental health issues. It's quite another if one knows that, but refuses to seek help or take responsibility.

[southdakbearfan]

What a spiral down and millions of dollars lost. $50 he is broke in 5 years if not already.
