Pittsburgh Steelers beat writer Ed Bouchette had a relatively quiet Monday on Twitter. He tweeted out a Big Ben training camp article, and also sent out some status updates on star receiver Antonio Brown.
Antonio Brown limps off practice after some early individual work

Mike Tomlin said the plan for Antonio Brown today was for him to do individual work and that is all. No injury aggravation

So what we have here is a respected journalist (2014 Dick McCann Award winner) doing his job. He observed a limp but later relayed that it was no big thing. This shouldn’t be blog worthy, but AB saw Bouchette’s first tweet and resorted to calling him a “clown” like the classy guy he is:
Bro seriously have some respect you making shit up clown https://t.co/SxgHHee7KV

If AB is going to go off on reporters for this alleged fake limp, Adam Schefter should expect an angry tweet sometime tonight for reporting the same damn thing:
Even though Steelers’ Antonio Brown limped off practice field today, he did not aggravate his quad injury and he is “fine”, according to a source familiar with his condition. Nothing significant.

What did we ultimately learn from this? Nothing, really, other than AB remains quite sensitive with the media, which is interesting for someone who definitely classifies as an attention whore.
