Terry Bradshaw ‘can’t stand’ Antonio Brown, wouldn’t throw to him

Many in the Pittsburgh Steelers organization weren’t particularly sorry to see Antonio Brown go this past offseason. Count Terry Bradshaw as someone outside the organization who felt the same way.

Bradshaw said Friday that the Steelers shouldn’t have put up with as much as they did from Brown, adding that he “wouldn’t throw to him” if he was the quarterback and the receiver was behaving that way.

“I had no idea they catered to Brown as much as they supposedly did,” Bradshaw said, via Joe Rutter of TribLive. “I can’t stand players like Antonio Brown. Winning football games is all about the team and all about players caring about one another and everybody pulling together, not pulling apart. You can’t have Antonio Brown for all the greatness that they are, do you want the baggage that goes with that crap? I wouldn’t.

“I’m glad they got rid of him and I’m upset now that I know how he got away … (what) he was doing there. I wish the heck they would have gotten rid of him a long time ago.”

Brown went full scorched earth on the Steelers during the offseason after a lot of behind-the-scenes drama. The organization has been known to put up with its fair share of drama, so for Brown to wear out his welcome is something. Bradshaw, it seems, wouldn’t have let it go on as long as it did.
