We’re now just three weeks away from Super Bowl LI. The AFC is down to the Patriots and Steelers after Pittsburgh’s 18-16 win over Kansas City Sunday night. But all everyone is talking about right now is the post-game Facebook Live receiver Antonio Brown shot on his phone in the locker room following the win.
The 17-minute video reportedly had roughly 1 million views on Brown’s Facebook page before it was deleted soon after it was posted. Why?
Well, for starters, we can hear head coach Mike Tomlin call the Patriots “assholes.”
“When you get to this point in the journey, man, not a lot needs to be said. Let’s say very little moving forward. Let’s start our preparations. We just spotted these assholes a day and a half. They played yesterday. Our game got moved to tonight. We’re going to touch down at 4 o’clock in the f—ing morning. So be it,” Tomlin said in the video. “We’ll be ready for their a–. But you ain’t got to tell them we’re coming.
“Keep a low profile, and let’s get ready to ball like this up again here in a few days and be right back at it. That’s our story.”
Tomlin also says to “keep it cool on social media.” Hilarious.
The fun starts shortly after the 2:00 mark.
For those who know what it’s like inside a locker room, none of this is shocking. However, it’s still eye popping that a veteran star player like Brown would do something to absent-minded.
As if they didn’t need any more motivation to clinch another AFC title, the Patriots certainly have more chalk-board material after this video.
