If history is any proof, many fans would recall Antonio Brown as the NFL’s top WR. After years on the turf, he walked off the field and made an empire of his own. But his antics remain the same and grab the media’s attention. AB’s recent move, ‘a cryptic statement on Twitter’, did just that. However, the unusual remark was not entirely his.

On Thursday, the ex-Buccaneers wide receiver shared an illustration with a quote attributed to him revealing his greatest regret from his pro career. The statement then contrasted to seeing either The Beatles or Jesus perform at Colorado’s famous Red Rocks music venue — But the remark appeared to be a forgery.

The Tweet mentioned, “My biggest regret in my career doesn’t involve calling my GM a ‘cracker,’ or showing up to Raiders camp late in a hot-air balloon with frozen feet, or throwing rocks at that UPS driver, and it definitely doesn’t involve taking my shirt off and doing a victory lap around the Jets’ stadium mid game while throwing up deuces.”

“My biggest regret is that I’ll never get to see me, Antonio Brown, play a game live. Sure, I can watch the game afterwards, but I can’t imagine what that was like for you all to see something like that. Like watching the Beatles or Jesus perform at Red Rocks.”
