Antonio Brown backtracks about his relationship with Tom Brady

Antonio Brown seemed to burn his only supporter, Tom Brady, on the way out of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers organization. Brown indicated he felt was treated unfairly and was underpaid in Tampa.

Well, he did another interview to take most of it back. Brown expressed solidarity with Brady — just a few weeks after suggesting his relationship with Brady was superficial. Brown appeared on HBO’s “Real Sports” with Bryant Gumbel to discuss his outburst during the regular season with the Buccaneers when he stormed off the field, leading to his departure from the team.

Brown had a lot of money on the line during the game, with the ability to make up to $1 million in incentives in his contract. He had just three catches and 26 yards — short of the milestones he needed to reach in his contract — when he took off his pads and shirt and left the field.
