AB needs help. He’s messed up in the head. But man arians looks really really bad in this. If ABs texts are true then arians lied about not knowing AB was injured and it does seem like he was pressured to play through an injury. After arians’ asshole sore winner behavior after the last super bowl, screw that guy. Assume everyone has seen the texts released by AB. [Reply]

Ariens lied about AB being on a zero tolerance policy.

A Thursday morning social-media barrage from AB included the sharing of text messages with Alex Guerrero, Tom Brady’s friend, partner, and trainer. It began with Brown requesting on the morning of Christmas Eve half of a $100,000 fee that Brown previously paid to Guerrero, “if we not going to work any more.” Guerrero responded politely and almost cheerfully, offering to “send the balance.”
Brown added this observation on Twitter: “Imagine your QB trainer charges you 100k then doing no work must be was a part of these guys plans all along.”
In other words, Brown is suggesting that Brady and Guerrero wanted to recruit Brown to the Buccaneers because they viewed him as someone who could be targeted for excessive fees charged by the TB12 operation.
Still waiting for somebody to explain to me how AB’s ankle injury was so bad that he couldn’t play yet he had no problem running and jumping off the field. I mean, he wasn’t even favoring it a little. [Reply]

In fairness he did claim they shot him up with something that players are advised against taking.
But the way I see it, is AB was upset with the Bucs for a long time. It probably did not help that the Bucs publicly aired they were considering cutting him for the whole lying about vax card.
The Bucs are down receivers and AB wants to play the prima donna and wonderful he is. He does not want to play. Bucs medical staff does not think anything is wrong. BA based on that wants him to paly. He suits up and agrees to play. The game is not going the way he wants and is done. BA is then done with AB. [Reply]

Not to defend AB on this but it sure seems like Bruce arians played dumb about an injury he clearly knew about. If they were pumping serious painkillers then he knew it was a serious injury. It’s hard to trust AB but the bucs look to be sweeping things under the rug. [Reply]

Not so sure. To me the texts it sounds like AB wanted to play and thought he was a game time call. BA seemed to indicate yes we want you to play if your healthy. I would think most of these teams are set up where medical handles the medical issues and informs the coach of what they determined.
But it would be nice if the BUCS let their DR.'s and training staff talk about what happened. But I can see where you are in the playoffs and want to focus on that even if your in the right do not want to air this in the press. Besides at this point the league really needs to handle the investigation. [Reply]
