ORIGINAL POST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown took off his pads, threw his T-shirt into the stands, and then jogged off the field during the 3rd quarter of today’s game against the New York Jets:
#Bucs WR Antonio Brown took his uniform off along with his equipment, threw it into the stands, and left the field. Of course he did.

This . . . reminds us of the end of the movie “Slap Shot”:

Anyway, nobody seems to know *why* Brown ran off the field during the game, but it will reportedly be “a costly outburst” if this is the last play of his career with Tampa Bay:
Antonio Brown needed:
8 more catches to unlock a $333,333 bonus.
He also needed 55 receiving yards to unlock another $333,333 bonus.
He also needed just 1 receiving TD to unlock another $333,333 bonus.
This was a costly outburst.
