Once upon a time, Antonio Brown was a promising NFL WR who played for 10 seasons and registered more than 13,000 receiving yards and 94 TDs. But he became marred by controversies that ultimately ended his career when he exited the game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the New York Jets. And according to him, Tom Brady was the root of his discontentment in Tampa Bay. 

To this day, Brown holds a grudge against the NFL GOAT. This is why he pulled off the controversial dig at Brady during his divorce from ex-wife Gisele Bündchen. Is he not sorry about his actions? And what was it that made the king of controversies so bitter toward Tom Brady?

As Brown said on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast, “Now when we get the ring in 2021, the next year I’m the last guy that signed. My agent, Ed Wasielewski, is getting called, cursed out by Tom Brady over why he is pushing back for the contract for scraps.” The reason Brown took this so personally is that Brady allegedly was the one who brought him in to win Super Bowls, and to be humiliated like that pulled the wrong nerve.
