Tom Brady Says Antonio Brown Thinks He “Blacked Out” During Fight
August 20th, 2021
Now this is a little scary.
NFL fans know all about the history/baggage of furniture-hurling, bicycle-throwing Antonio Brown.
He’s served his debt to society (and the NFL) and is out from under the law as of earlier this year. Bucs fans hope Brown is mentally stable and ready for a great season.
Yesterday, Brown got into a fight with a Titans defensive back and threw punches and ripped the guy’s helmet off. Speaking on SiriusXM NFL Radio tonight, Tom Brady talked about the fight at One Buc Palace and shared his interaction with Brown after the melee.
“I asked. I said, ‘A.B., what happened?'” Brady began.
“He said. ‘Man, I lost it. I lost it. I just blacked out. I think I blacked out over there.'”
Yeah, Joe cringed a little hearing Brown say he blacked out in rage. But hey, it’s football and not a woman or a furniture mover. So it’s all good.
Brady added that he was feeling that a Leonard Fournette-Jeffery Simmons fight might be inevitable at the joint practice with the Titans yesterday. So he stepped in and asked Fournette to stop chirping.
Playoff Lenny said he would, per Brady, and that led to one of Brady’s favorite moments of training camp.
Brady had his teenage son Jack with him at camp all this week and after the elder Brady cooled off Playoff Lenny, Jack walked up with a message. “Jack comes up to him like 10 seconds later, and says, ‘Hey Lenny, man, if you get in a fight with him, I got your back.”’
Brady said it was hilarious and one of his treasured moments as a dad, and then he ordered Jack to run away from any fight pile if he finds himself near one.
Joint practices are crazy, Brady said, and he likes Bucco Bruce Arians’ analogy of the sessions. “There’s 30 dogs and there’s 15 bones.”
Listening to Brady, it’s so obvious he’s having a great time with the Bucs.
Talking Titans! TAMPA TWO is back with a look at training camp and Preseason Game 2.
Derrick Brooks is in the house!

Brady knows what happens in those piles and he wants grandchildren.

Joe you sound like some natty talking about this helmet came off and it’s huge because AB was involved. Move on…
Would you prefer Joe not share unique comments from the Bucs’ quarterback, the greatest QB ever, about one of his receivers?–Joe

The Titans identity is smash mouth football and intimidation. Love to see the Bucs not taking BS from them.

“The greatest qb ever.”
Dang joe is growing up
Or is this reasonable joe? And no messiah cult joe

All great warriors black out in a fight.
It’s called survival.
It’s called 1.5 million of evolution.

AB is known to be intense in practice. I dont see a red flag, but I do wonder why the extra energy so early. Too talented to have to play on emotion. Evans, Jensen, and Suh kept it under control and the team thrived.

Blackout where I come from means “over reacted” meaning he attacked the guy without reasoning. But when you tolerate AB that’s what happens. Nothing to see here folks

Whatever Joe let’s talk some FOOTBALL! I know it’s the slow season. Tell me about some position battles. We have so much talent and I don’t have season tickets so it’s hard to tell who could be at what spot on the final 53.

C’mon. 🙄

Blackouts to me mean….
Hey I am a poster on a blog post…… FUUUUUUUUUUUUc
Thought I was a footballer like AB
August 20th, 2021 at 11:07 pm
Also means,
I just woke up…. Byethem is President.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUc

Also means,
A Nebraska corn husker in Tampa is HOT.
Sorry Sue and LVD, I don’t mean you’s two.

The guy got what he deserved.

That’s just an excuse a-holes make to explain away their bad behavior.
…I don’t remember… It wasn’t me… I blacked out…
Whatever, I don’t care how big of an a-hole he is if he helps the team win. For all your dolts who say you want a team of Boy Scouts, go fill up a stadium when the team is 2-15 and then I’ll believe you.

Watch film on the hits A. Brown has taken to the head over his career, he could definitely have a little CTE. That would explain a lot. Give the man a break. There’s a lot of NFL players that don’t have any game problems, they are just bad people, one of them did one of the biggest hits on Brown. And those guys don’t get half the flack Brown gets

What fight?

What continues to bring me to JoeBucsFan is the passion for getting quotes that no other source gets. I always wondered why out-of-town sports reporters gets quotes when local reporters either can’t or don’t. But, JBF always gets the skinny. The banter between Brady and his son was priceless. Thanks, JBF.

That’s not un-normal in my life experience. I have plenty of friends from HS and people I know after who blackout when they get in fights. I’ve had it happen to me before in a few.
Let’s not pull out our jump to conclusions mat all Willy-Nilly
August 21st, 2021 at 7:28 am
You have to admit….It’s a scary thought……to have a guy like AB who will bring anything to a fight…..a bicycle, a lawn chair…….blacking out…..scary!!!
August 21st, 2021 at 7:51 am
Global warming probably caused it… probably
August 21st, 2021 at 8:18 am
Given AB’s history, I’m a little disappointed that Brady would publicly share that info.
August 21st, 2021 at 9:38 am
“Blacked Out” = “I got out of control with anger and my elongated reptilian brain stem took over.”
August 21st, 2021 at 10:07 am
AB blacked out 😅 not good to hear hope it was just a combo of the heat and anger. Thankfully we only have two 1 o’clock games at home this season early October and early January 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Brady will look out for his guys, never throw them under the bus. years ago during the playoffs the Steelers went to Indianapolis and won. Hall of Fame QB Peyton Manning when interviewed after the game blamed his one wide receiver for an interception and ripped his offensive line. he never checks his ego at the door.

ME13 and CG14 didn’t have blackouts and blowups. Still not into Bennett and I never will be. Too much of a temper freak.

Actually, this is possibly one of the highest-character teams that we have ever seen in Tampa, yet we are still winning.

It was only “lawn” furniture because it was thrown outside!” 😆

What passion from AB !
August 22nd, 2021 at 5:16 am
He’ll even Jack wants to fight. Don’t see any complacency here. GO BUCS!
August 22nd, 2021 at 12:57 pm
He woke up with blood on his bicycle, lawn chair, local truck driver, opponents helmet and his wife. Just another day in the life of AB. He is a phenomenal baller though, can’t deny that.
