Just as easy to picture was what his post-NFL life would be like.
An agent of chaos.
Sometimes, his posts are actually as funny as they are on-point.
Like Brown picks someone that everyone is talking about and goes after them for reasons known only to himself.
And a while ago, he inexplicably put Caitlin Clark in his crosshairs.
Why compare her the hirsute, nonverbal relative of the Addams Family?
What did she do to Brown to be tarred with this epithet?
Your guess is as good as mine.
But my money is on there being no reason.
He simply wanted to watch her world burn.
Unemployment is not without its privileges.
But Brown is also still a celebrity, such as it is.
There’s no drama here.
I’m excited about what you’re going to do for women’s basketball.
You’re an amazing player.
I love to watch your game, You bring a lot of excitement and energy.
“Never mind, CTESPN would love to have you talk.
Express what you deal with.
How you continue to be great.
It’s all on fun and games.
“Continue to be great.
Keep the focus on being the best athlete you’re able to be.
Continue to lead women’s sports.
Pioneering it, the way you want to pioneer it.
I have a daughter, they look up to you.
They look up to everything you guys are doing.
So shout out to you Caitlin Clark.”
All I can say is wow.
That was, dare I say it, beautiful.
The sort of humble, contrite, heartfelt feelings I’ve never heard Brown express.
And didn’t think he was capable of.
And had the interview ended there, it would’ve been perfect.
Remember though, when Ned Stark said, “Everything before the word ‘but’ is bullshit”?
That is the very definition of not leaving well enough alone.
The man just can’t help himself.
Not even when he’s trying to do the right thing.
Both by being gracious to someone he’s been attacking for some unknown reason.
And in trying to support the noble cause of pubic hair growth.
But this was neither the time nor the forum to bring it up.
It was in bad taste.
And it cancelled out all the kind sentiments he’d expressed before.
I’d say “Be better, Antonio.”
But this cracker knows that’s not possible.
