Shannon Sharpe throws shade at Antonio Brown with tweet
Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe threw some shade at Antonio Brown during the fourth quarter of “Monday Night Football” between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Brown and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger failed to connect on third-down pass with under four minutes to go and the Steelers’ 3-point lead looking shaky. Roethlisberger was anticipating Brown would break off his deep route and threw towards the sidelines. Brown kept running straight, not knowing that his quarterback had already thrown a pass that fell incomplete.
Sharpe saw the play and tweeted about it, taking a swipe at Brown in the process.
AB, that route adjustment was discussed when you didn’t show up on Monday.

Sharpe’s comment was a reference to Brown skipping practice on Monday.
Brown said after the game that Big Ben didn’t need to apologize for missing the pass, so it seems maybe that Brown wasn’t to blame. But Sharpe couldn’t resist taking his shot anyway.
