Antonio Brown clears the air with Ryan, talks about his NFL exits, gratitude for Tom Brady, relationship with Kanye, what's next for him as he looks to make his NFL return with sights set on Dallas as a possible home. Sitting down for the first time since their longtime feud, Ryan And AB talk about how their once close friendship as teammates fizzled into years of animosity. Ryan shares his side as AB fires back on his thoughts of what went wrong- Claiming the other guys on team were jealous of his contract as a young player, Ryan pushes back that no one cared about the money, they were bothered when AB felt like he was the team and the final straw was his aggression towards HOF coach Dick Lebeau. The two hash it out and then go into Tampa situation and why other quarterbacks should trust AB in the future, referencing how it ended with Big Ben and Tom Brady. AB immediately shares his gratitude for Tom Brady and upmost respect for him changing his life and giving him a chance when he was in a dark place but says he can't control what the organization does. AB relies on Ryan to back him up on how only the ones in Pittsburgh knew how Bruce Arians treated him back then and how it carried over to Tampa years later. "Only you and I know what it was like..." Fred comes from a different point recalling their training days together and how much talent AB showed and how he's always been one of his favorite players. Channing can't help himself as he dives into the female topic and asks AB what really went on the night before NY game with the girl which leads into a conversation about relationships, sex before games as AB tells him he is a different breed! AB opens up about his plans for the future and upcoming surgery, his music career, business relationship with Kanye and why Dallas may be a good home for him. Learn more about your ad choices.

• 0:31Antonio Brown?

  Yeah, what up, baby? Superstar, what up? What you doing, man? Yes, sir.

• 0:35Ryan Clark?

  Good, bro?

• 0:35Antonio Brown?

  See, how you doing, man?

• 0:36Ryan Clark?

  I don't love, bro.

• 0:37Antonio Brown?

  Yes, sir, you look good, man.

• 0:39Ryan Clark?

  Why you ain't come in with the Kanye mask, man?

• 0:41Antonio Brown?

  I got it to our brother Kanye.

• 0:42Ryan Clark?

  You gotta put it on, dawg. There we go.

• 0:45Antonio Brown?

  Gee.

• 0:45Ryan Clark?

  Yeah, we gotta get the picture with that.

• 0:49Antonio Brown?

  You in the middle, dawg. I feel like superhero.

• 0:50Ryan Clark?

  So, because you know we always got to fight at practice, right? We gotta redo the practice fight picture, though. So you gotta turn this way.

• 0:56Antonio Brown?

  What happened? You like this?

• 1:01Ryan Clark?

  You gotta start laughing.

• 1:03Antonio Brown?

  Yeah, that's my dog, though.

• 1:04Ryan Clark?

  Yeah, yeah, we ain't good here, dawg.

• 1:31Ryan Clark?

  What up, man? Special edition of the Pivot. You know how we do it. We talk about people that make different moves. Moves that people aren't always necessarily comfortable with. Got my dog Freaky Freddy here, Channing, and we got AB. Business is always booming, but I think what I need people to know first off is obviously us two sitting together, something people have wanted for years. But on the other side of this, this isn't about publicity. You ain't getting paid to be here. It's on the strength of relationships with people like Floyd and Alicia and different things. So I think people need to know this isn't about publicity. Like, that's not why we're sitting here. But from a situation of you and I, I don't think people really know how we started. We started in a situation where you were my friend. I was the older guy on the team.

• 2:15Ryan Clark?

  You had Lil AB with you. And the way that I saw you, the way that my family saw you, especially Jordan and my wife, was so you was dang near Uncle AB, even though you were young. Obviously, things went a different route. And so what I want to say from the beginning is, I should have reached out to you. When I felt a certain way, whether it was when I was leaving and you said I spoke about people smoking weed and you felt some type of way, at that time, instead of attacking you, I should have called you and said, hey, man, like, I really appreciate what you said. Where is it coming from? Also, on the other side of that, as things got along and you started to have your issues in Pittsburgh, and I came out and spoke, I should have talked to you then as well. They both know, I've said that on this show before, that I should have been better as

• 2:59Ryan Clark?

  an OG and been better in the way that I dealt with you. And so I wanted to get that out and clear the air. Why didn't you reach out to my man? That's the little brother, man. Why didn't you reach out to him? You know what? I'll be honest, you know, at the time, like, I truly didn't understand it. Anything I ever felt about him, I always kept to myself. And you know how this world work? This world is dirty. When they understood that we had an issue, people would call me constantly, AB did this, AB did that, AB didn't pay this person, AB didn't do this. And my answer to them all the time was, that ain't got nothing to do with football. Because in my heart, no matter what was going on with his outside life, if it didn't pertain to football, it wasn't for the world to know, and I wasn't going to report that on the strength of us.

• 3:44Ryan Clark?

  But when it, when it involved football, I felt like it was my job. And, you know, but then we get to a point, and this is when I really realized that I reached a point where I needed to pull back, is he shoots me a text, and he's like, man, whenever I see you, it's on sight. And y'all been around me long enough. Yeah, boy.

• 4:00Fred Taylor?

  That's the Liberty City.

• 4:02Ryan Clark?

  Yeah, well, you know, the first, well, I'm from New Orleans, and the first thing I said is, I said, you got a jet, you know I work out.

• 4:07Fred Taylor?

  You got to run it.

• 4:08Ryan Clark?

  How did you feel about all those situations?

• 4:11Fred Taylor?

  Before you answer, AB, is this a formal apology?

• 4:15Ryan Clark?

  No, I'm formally apologizing, absolutely.

• 4:17Fred Taylor?

  I just wanted to get that on record.

• 4:21Antonio Brown?

  Now, Ryan always been, you know, one of my favorite safeties, you know, he's an alpha male. And as soon as I got to the team as a young player, you know, he attracted me. You know, I think, you know, seven on seven, I get catching a couple passes. He was the type of guy who'd come over and be like, "Yo, I'm gonna knock you the [__] out." And I'm like, "I'm like, yo, I'll [__] you up." So, he was always that older guy who brought the energy. And, you know, I think I seen him later in his career, you know, while I was becoming a young player, transitioning to that second contract. And you know, when you could transition to the second contract, depending on the state of the team, you know, you could get a little jealousy from the other guys, you know, because I was a third-year player.

• 5:04Antonio Brown?

  I was young. The team didn't even know that I was gonna get extension on the contract. Everyone thought Mike Wallace was gonna get the contract. So, when I get to camp, we already that year, 2012, we had the worst team ever. If it still is history. Like, we didn't have no unity, no camaraderie, uh, no fellowship, no brothership. And like, our leaders, like, in training camp, even like guys like Troy Polamalu would get in fight.

• 5:29Channing Crowder?

  Right.

• 5:29Antonio Brown?

  Like, so we didn't have no unity. And then, all of a sudden, we from from a team that thought one guy was gonna be the guy, and I'm the guy who getting five-year, forty-two million. And, you know, Ryan always been my friend since the day one. And it's like, now, I've become a marked man from the team because I'm the young player who technically getting the most money now. So, in that sense, you know, always been the young player that, you know, bring a lot of energy to the field. So, on the field, me, RC, always get into it, but it never be him. It always be someone else. And they'll get back to him, you know, he's the safety, he's like the quarterback for the defense. So, I never really had a personal problem with him. It would just always be someone else, and he had to be the guy who helped that person.

• 6:12Channing Crowder?

  Bruh, bru, bru, why, why getting your money? Why getting forty-two? Everybody get paid. Why get him, why, why you getting money was a problem? Because everybody gonna get paid.

• 6:20Antonio Brown?

  Well, RC would tell you it was a problem because of the state of the team. You know, we had a lot of different contract situations. A lot of things that the players thought would have happened, and it didn't go that way. It went to the sense where I became the guy, in the sense, you know what I mean, of everyone didn't know. So in the midst of being the guy, you know, you a marked man, you know, you come to practice. You know, I'm a young player. Like I said, I'm on my third year. I'm a sixth round pick. Distillers never really pay a guy after two years, so it was kind of unprecedented. And then when I'm peeling the guy, I'm a young guy now, I'm peeling the guys like Ike Taylor. You know, these guys 12 years. You know, I got a lot of energy in the field, so. You know, when you get that deal, you a marked man, you know, older guys feel like, you know, it's a certain level of humble you gotta be.

• 7:06Ryan Clark?

  Yeah.

• 7:06Antonio Brown?

  You know, if they feel like practice, if they push you holding a little extra, you should be able to deal with it. And at that point, when I got the deal, you know, I was already hungry for being a sixth round and be like, trying to be an overachiever in the team. I feel like they wasn't helping me fulfill my potential in regards to what I could do. So guys like Warren Clark used to like, man, I'm telling you, man, this kid, like, he used to believe in me. You know, so when I became the guy, you know, I still held those feelings where guys treated me wrong. Like, you know, did a little rookie shit to me, you know.

• 7:37Ryan Clark?

  Had to sing your songs and.

• 7:38Antonio Brown?

  Yeah, no, fill my car with popcorn, you know, little petty shit. Like Ben Barstow won't throw me the pass, like on purpose in practice. Or if I come down the hill, let extra, I may not get the pass today. You know, so a lot of things that was built up. And when I got the money, you know, other guys wanted to do extra stuff and I wasn't taking no extra. So one time, I mean, I had an all out brawl, you know, during practice. The guy, you know, one of the guys I love, we had an all out fight, you know, he, you know, leading after practice, more fight. And then RC, you know what I'm saying, he the quarterback of the team, so we like always getting to it. But we never really have a problem.

• 8:15Ryan Clark?

  The thing I do want to put out there though, and you know, we talk about this guy a lot.

• 8:21Ryan Clark?

  Defensively, we had unity. Offensively was where the issue was. But that was also why AB was always fighting. Right? Because Troy Palamalu is the greatest human I've ever been around. Right? And so if he gets to a point where he's there, then you know it's a real issue. And, you know, he got his deal and he was, like, everything he's saying about who he was, he was. He was brash. He didn't take no stuff. Like, if you came at him, he came back at you. And that was why I never had a public problem with him. Right? Because everything that he felt, all the things that he did, made him the best number 84 he could possibly be. And I understood that. Our thing was, now since you are the guy, now since you earned the money.

• 9:06Ryan Clark?

  Fall in line and help the Troy Palamalu's, the Ryan Clarks, the Ike Taylors. Make sure this team is where it needs to be. And so when we felt like that wasn't happening, that was the issue. And it wasn't even just about me being the safety. It's like if you go at LeBeau, you go at Ike, you go at Troy, you go at me. Like I want to rank, I want to rank with these dudes. I've been to Super Bowls with these dudes. And what was crazy is, I knew he was getting this deal before he did. Mike T told me, he said, we gonna offer this to Mike Wallace. And if Mike Wallace doesn't take it, we gonna sign A B. And at the time, this dude was coming off two years. Pro Bowl as a returner, a receiver with 1,200 in like damn near the second half. And I'll be honest, I'll say this publicly, and I said it on TV.

• 9:50Ryan Clark?

  I said, if y'all don't talk to him and tell him what that means at this age with the way he is. I was like, y'all are gonna create a monster.

• 10:00Channing Crowder?

  Why would he have to fall in line with what y'all want? I guess I'm defending A B, but brother.

• 10:05Antonio Brown?

  Now that's why, that's what it comes.

• 10:06Ryan Clark?

  Because, because, because everybody fell in line there.

• 10:08Antonio Brown?

  That's what it comes down to when you a young guy and you getting money.

• 10:11Ryan Clark?

  Yeah.

• 10:11Antonio Brown?

  And you ain't taking what they saying, and they need like guys like him to tell me, A B, you gotta go about it this way. But that's where his job was, that's where, that's not who Ryan is as a person. When I needed a place to work out as a rookie, hey Ryan, I'm staying. He set me up with a workout. When I can't play for the game and the doctor coming from international Canada. Ryan, man, my ankle fucked up. Yo, I got the lady on room, what you calling? My Thursday when Lisa come with the needles. Ryan, man, I paid for A B's at my crib Thursday. So it never was a problem with him, but he one of the leaders on the team. And I done been through so much, and I'm like, nah, I'm the leader. And they ain't really understanding how my leadership is. And I'm like, alright, you right here, I'm right here. So wherever we meet at, we just gonna meet right here and, and we gonna deal with it.

• 10:54Ryan Clark?

  Yep.

• 10:55Antonio Brown?

  And it always to be like that, and it ain't have to be like that because it's a football team. It's about unity, it's about us working together. So it was already a lot of conflict with our team. But me and Ryan never had a problem. It's a media problem. He's a professional. I remember one time his last year playing, he told me in the training room, you know, training can't be the hardest time, you know that. So training camp, we in the room, he like, you know what, man? When I become a broadcaster, he like, man, I'm gonna say everything. I don't give a about nobody. You know, but he was at that point in his career where they had made him to the point of like, man, you know what? I love this guy right here, man. I seen this guy play with torn bicep. I seen this guy karate defense that prevent like winning cultures. So it wasn't never intentionally with him. It was just our job, you know?

• 11:40Fred Taylor?

  Do you think most of it, if you look at the Steelers historically, right?

• 11:44Antonio Brown?

  Yeah.

• 11:44Fred Taylor?

  They talk, they only talk about the steel curtain.

• 11:47Ryan Clark?

  Mm-hmm.

• 11:48Fred Taylor?

  Then you sprinkle in Heinz Ward.

• 11:50Ryan Clark?

  Mm-hmm. Bettis.

• 11:52Fred Taylor?

  Jerome Bettis.

• 11:54Ryan Clark?

  Offensively, you got, you know, you go back in the day, they talk about Lynn, they talk about.

• 11:57Fred Taylor?

  Lynn Swann.

• 11:58Ryan Clark?

  Terry Bradshaw.

• 11:59Fred Taylor?

  Right, but it's not a ton of players. Do you think the animosity stemmed from, you know, when you look at modern times? You've been the best thing in Steelers history, you know, in the last 20 years?

• 12:12Ryan Clark?

  For six years, statistically, you were the greatest wide receiver that ever lived.

• 12:16Fred Taylor?

  Ever. So do you think some of the animosity stemmed from the defense is saying? This is us. This is what Steelers history is. But here you have a rookie. You know, not a rookie, but a young player that you're coming in and you're shining. And what you're doing is way above what the defense is being recognized for. Do you think some of the animosity stemmed from what you were doing?

• 12:41Antonio Brown?

  I mean, it still is based on a lot of great individual players. But the championship come from the karate and the fellowship of the unity of the players to win. And, you know, I was a part of the team in 2010 when we went to the Sioux Bowl. When we went to the Dittler Bowl Hall of Fame speech as a, as a unit. When the defense all wear his jersey, Larry Foot and the guys, you know, to show them that love. And we just ain't had that type of camaraderie, you know, on the, on the track of the course of the career. There was always some friction in regards of what was going on other than the higher purpose of winning. And I think a lot of Steelers players, older players, you know, they, their career didn't really go well, how they exited out. You know, a lot of marquee franchise players, you know, so.

• 13:27Antonio Brown?

  I mean, it's still a prestigious organization, but they win when the camaraderie and the unity is there. And, you know, my time there, you know, was the greatest time playing football statistically and living out the NFL dreams. But, you know, you go to those type of programs to win. You know, Ryan Clark experienced that a couple of times. You know, the number one defense.

• 13:48Fred Taylor?

  But you, you did some stuff that's never been done before in NFL history. And I remember us training together. You know, so it's always good to see you, Brad. But just to see a young, attentive, humble, hardworking young man who just wanted to be the best. You talked about it. You said, "I'm gonna go out there, I'm gonna do numbers." You know, but you put in the work to back it up. Guys say that, but typically they don't always put in the work to match that, that passion, right? And you set goals early on. And, uh, and I commend you for that. I always tip my hat off for that. And when people ask me, "What's up with A.B.?" I always go back to that first and foremost.

• 14:31Fred Taylor?

  And I always say, "A.B. is calculated in everything that he does." He's smart, he's resilient, he's always been a hard worker in my eyes. So, uh, I just want to give you those flowers, man, always. Uh, 'cause I, I fight for you. Shut the [__] up, bro. Bro, every show you do this, though. We wanna give people flowers. This is my dog.

• 14:53Antonio Brown?

  I got it. That's where I tell her, man. Nah, that's where I tell her right there, man. He one of the icon of people running back all time, you know what I'm saying? Workload and lucidity, you see what I'm saying? Jarred Wash, like, you know, history, so like...

• 15:07Fred Taylor?

  You know what it is.

• 15:08Antonio Brown?

  You know, I'm taking it for granted, you know?

• 15:09Fred Taylor?

  You know what it is. But let me, let me big up you. I just wanna give him his...

• 15:13Antonio Brown?

  Nah, nah, but, but Fred, not everybody can say that because grown alpha males don't like to say that. Instead of Ryan Clark saying, "You know what, young boy? You kinda cold." He said, "Bro, I'm gonna knock you the [__] out if you do." I'm like, "Bro, what you talking about?"

• 15:26Ryan Clark?

  But here's the thing is, though... RC don't wanna give, he ain't giving me flowers. No, I'm be honest. It was, first off, I always backed him. But the thing is, too, once we get on that grass...

• 15:34Antonio Brown?

  When you get on that grass, bro, everyone...

• 15:36Channing Crowder?

  He gonna do it.

• 15:37Antonio Brown?

  He gonna kill everyone.

• 15:38Channing Crowder?

  Because I question his alpha male all the time because he's so little.

• 15:41Antonio Brown?

  Nah, he really like that.

• 15:41Channing Crowder?

  He's tiny.

• 15:42Antonio Brown?

  He's cool off the field, but he got a crazy switch. When he go on the field, he go walking on his toes with his low key. He might tell, he might tell you something crazy.

• 15:51Channing Crowder?

  He talk nasty to you.

• 15:52Antonio Brown?

  Nah, he talk crazy.

• 15:53Ryan Clark?

  Hey, B, here's my, so here's my question, bro. Like now, we're in a state where everybody wants to understand what's going on with you. And doing my job, people are constantly trying to tell me that you're crazy. And I often tell them, I was like, he's smart, he understands what's going on. I say, and he knows who he wants Antonio Brown to be. So for the people that think you have lost control, what would be your message to them about you?

• 16:18Antonio Brown?

  Nah, I'm a guy, you ask that question because, you know, people, you know, fear what they don't understand and they try to marginalize you when they think how you're supposed to be. But you and I know how tough I am and what I'll do in regards to play. And only you and I know when I was a young player, how Bruce Arians used to treat me. You and I know when I was a pro bowl player, I was a second year player and only started, it's only game seven. You and I know Bruce Arians used to say when 88 up, 84 is down. You and I know the first time I played in NFL, I scored a touchdown and they benched me for coming late on a bonus day for this game. You and I know Bruce Arians used to say, oh, AB is not a smart player, he's not smart enough to play the X. You and I know Ben Roethlisberger had to say enough is enough with AB, Bruce Arians.

• 17:02Antonio Brown?

  We gotta play this guy, we need him. Only you and I know that, but the public gonna know that. At the end of the day, Bruce Arians gotta respect me, AB, as a player. Like the GOAT called me, the mountain, the mood of team to go get the shit. So you gotta treat me with respect, but they jealous because he don't like that I'm bringing out different cards or he don't like how my plays coming up. But he's like, bro, that ain't nothing to do with me, that's God doing. So like, treat me like a man, don't treat me like that. In the middle of the game, how you gonna tell me, get the [bleep] out of here? Bro, you know how it is in the game, or you just starts running what you on and how you act when game day. On game day, if a coach would've told you that, how would you, what you would've did?

• 17:37Ryan Clark?

  I can't even tell you.

• 17:38Antonio Brown?

  Exactly, you probably would've slapped him.

• 17:40Ryan Clark?

  I can't even tell you.

• 17:41Channing Crowder?

  Hey, why? I could've slapped you.

• 17:43Antonio Brown?

  Because you that hard that you ain't getting used to your full potential when you know what you could do.

• 17:47Ryan Clark?

  So wasn't it about, so wasn't it about the injury?

• 17:50Channing Crowder?

  AB, it was about the injury?

• 17:51Antonio Brown?

  Yeah, man, I play football for incentives, of course. If I can't play, man, I can't play. I gotta get surgery, matter of fact, in a couple of weeks. Like, them guys know my injury. It's a torn, deltoid ligament. You know what that mean, right? What did that mean, RC? Because people, I like, they don't know what that mean.

• 18:05Channing Crowder?

  That means that it's only can be fixed surgically. It can only be repaired.

• 18:08Antonio Brown?

  Exactly, so like, I know I play football, look, easy, and I could probably run at seventeen, eighteen miles, where it's not normal with in my ankle. But, bro, over the course of the year in the game, you can't do that. You won't heal yourself. So, yeah, man, I don't have no mental health. I'm just about respect. I stand on principle.

• 18:24Channing Crowder?

  So, going into that game, then, did they know that?

• 18:26Antonio Brown?

  He knew that from way report. He knew that from text message I shoot. Showed him. He knew that from communication, from missed practice. He knew that from questionable that week. He knew that. But every time it's a problem with me, everyone act like they don't know that because of success and the statistics that the flowers of Fred tell to talk about. There's no been ever a guy in sixth round history to do what I've been able to do. No other player a size of quarterback in still the history weren't able to get the contracts I was able to get. And people don't like that, so they feel like I should act a certain way or I should be a certain way. I should be content with going to Oakland Raiders and making more money than I used to just for that. No, but I want to win. So, it's like, people try to marginalize my vision because they don't understand it. But it's okay to not understand something. It's okay for us to work together and win together.

• 19:11Antonio Brown?

  It don't have to be a loser and a winner.

• 19:14Channing Crowder?

  Bro, why don't you get the respect? Like, you just said, it don't say, why don't you get the respect?

• 19:18Antonio Brown?

  Because I ain't nobody done it this way. It's not understandable. And, you know, I do get the respect. I'm the best football player in there. When people talk about AB, they talk about he's the best player. That's it. And the other stuff is just what's said, narratives. They made money for talking about my name. You know that, right?

• 19:33Channing Crowder?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 19:33Antonio Brown?

  So, what they talk good? Like, you know, I fit the description. Look how I look.

• 19:37Channing Crowder?

  And this is the alternative media, bro. Like, this is what, this is how this started.

• 19:41Antonio Brown?

  Nah, this fellowship with the boys, like, this the homies. So, we getting a little deeper than what people think on the football field. I'm sexy for the papers. I'm sexy for the headlines. You know, you could put, you know? You know, that's what they made money off. So of course they want me and RC to fight. He wanted the greatest safety in the NFL.

• 19:58Fred Taylor?

  No, don't do that.

• 19:59Antonio Brown?

  He played 13 plus years and a Super Bowl champion. You know what I mean?

• 20:03Ryan Clark?

  He's just telling you the truth.

• 20:04Antonio Brown?

  I'm just being factual. That's not normal for anyone in the world. So of course they want a safety to fight against a receiver.

• 20:11Ryan Clark?

  So AB though, we're talking about the things you were able to accomplish on the field, right? And I said it, I told them, like I said, I told you before you came in, what you were able to do. And I remember the first OTAs, you caught every punt and you scored a touchdown, you jogged back, you took the next rep. We went to the Super Bowl that year and kickoff return that year. You caught every kickoff and ran it to the end zone. And I remember saying in OTAs, there's no way he does it for a year. Next year, you're the Pro Bowl returner. After that, obviously AB becomes AB. Do you believe you're more famous because of what you were able to do on the field? Or it's been the phone calls with John Gruden that you leak? It's been jumping in the pool after you get out, going to New England,

• 20:56Ryan Clark?

  having the stuff in New England break down, getting to Tampa Bay? Dog, you hang with Kanye now. You hang with Floyd now. You don't do football player stuff. Are you more famous for the Hall of Fame football career or for the antics off of the field?

• 21:10Antonio Brown?

  At the end of the day, they know me for work, like Freddie T say. That's what's important, you know, the connection with God, that would make me famous. And people know me for work, but I know other people know me from being with Floyd and being with Ye. That's like cool. Now everybody could do that. So, you know, it's not about being famous. It's about being real with yourself and it's about being connected with God. Cause you know, we all living for a purpose and we living and we all gotta die. So at the end of the day, you know, I'm famous with God because I got that connection. And like, people could know me for anything they want to believe would ever inspire them. But as a football player in the sports history, you know, it's a lot of history for me to have been done and it's a lot of history left for me to be done.

• 21:55Antonio Brown?

  And there's a lot of exciting stuff as well that come with that, you know?

• 21:58Fred Taylor?

  Hard worker out of Liberty City. You make it to the NFL. You fulfill your dreams as a child. You kill the league. You know, people get on certain sides where they're not necessarily rooting for you and some people are rooting for you because you're keeping it real. You have some people that question if your mental capacity is intact.

• 22:21Fred Taylor?

  Where is A B today? Is it Antonio Brown versus A B?

• 22:27Channing Crowder?

  Antonio Tavares Brown.

• 22:30Fred Taylor?

  Brown. Some people tend to say A B is a rock star. He's a superstar. He's a rock star. Where are you at right now today?

• 22:41Antonio Brown?

  You know, life is about living, you know, creating opportunities to put yourself in a good position. You know, I'm gonna still get an opportunity to play once I get my ankle surgery. And you know, I'm the president at Donnas what? You know, it's a lot of things, you know, I'm just a.

• 22:54Fred Taylor?

  Say that again?

• 22:55Antonio Brown?

  I'm the president of Donnas what, you know, it's a lot of opportunities. I got a document with Floyd coming. So, you know, I'm just an iconical player. You know, it's never been an iconical player in football, you know, a lot of the guys end of their career. They get cut. They don't get a lot of opportunities to transition their lives. You know, I'm just one of those Shaquille O'Neal type guys. But it so happened to be in football. What are O Gs at in football who we, I used to look up to, what they doing now? They ain't got nothing now, so the players I'm seeing and studying before me. They going down when they leave the league. I'm increasing. They decreasing. So that's the confusion. That's the illusion. Football players supposed to die out. They supposed to go report the news for other players. I'm just one of those players ain't had to do that.

• 23:40Antonio Brown?

  I'm not one of those players that keep transitioning. So they keep asking me, how famous you were? It don't matter. It's something about work. What I do, it's not about what we say. It's not about what they write. It's about what I do. So stay tuned, that's it.

• 23:54Fred Taylor?

  How much of where you are now is about, you know, integrity? I saw you have business is booming on this jacket. I saw another jacket where you said, you don't owe me. And I know you've mentioned before that you don't conform to the rules of the NFL. Because they try to box you in. How much of what you believe in has to do with that?

• 24:19Antonio Brown?

  I mean, I do stand on principle first and foremost, and my integrity is important to me. And I wouldn't say I don't follow rules because you have to follow rules because, you know, rules are protocols that in longer the business or fulfill the business. I just say like, you know, I just was smarter to be able to create opportunities within the rule that benefit me. And a lot of guys wasn't smart enough, like, you know, I knew Pittsburgh Steelers wasn't winning Super Bowl because of the culture. I've been there with Ryan Clark in 2010, when I've been around Paulo Malu, when we was all prayered up and it was all team winning. So I have experience, I have the knowledge personally to know what position I did be in, what's the energy of the team to know how to win.

• 24:59Antonio Brown?

  So I was smart enough to know, okay, I know at some point, I seen Big Ben in the relationship with Hans Ward, how that phased out. So I don't, I love Big Ben, Big Ben, I wouldn't be an opportunity, I'd be in without Big Ben. But at some point, as a player, you have to be smart for yourself. And I got smart for myself and I said, you know what? I seen how the other older players at the Steelers went out. So how do I want to keep transitioning myself? So matter of fact, I'll tell Mr. Rooney after the season, like, man, I don't want to be here no more as a man. And he would agree, like, we'll let you go. I've been to Oakland with the big deal and was like, ah, man, I'm getting paid twice as I was, but the karate, we hitting the karate to win. Then I met Tom Brady and then.

• 26:09Antonio Brown?

  See how God work, you know what I'm saying? That's something you can't plan, that's something you can't do.

• 26:15Ryan Clark?

  But AB, but somebody would say though, you was about to make damn near 30 million just for me on the team.

• 26:20Antonio Brown?

  But I'm already rich though, this deal has already made me rich. I had a 40 million deal in 2012, I got 70 million in 2017. So when I said somebody else count in my pockets, I know my pockets a little sexy, but I gotta do what's best for me.

• 26:33Channing Crowder?

  Your pocket look very sexy to me, I ain't gonna lie. You a good looking dude.

• 26:36Antonio Brown?

  Pocket washing dude.

• 26:37Channing Crowder?

  Your bottom of your feet were burnt up and you couldn't just get to the first game to get that sack.

• 26:43Antonio Brown?

  Nah, but I couldn't.

• 26:44Channing Crowder?

  Get that sack, AB.

• 26:45Antonio Brown?

  That was a decision I had to make, if I wanted the sack, it was there. I didn't want that, I wanted something greater for myself. So I went to the preachers, met with Tom Brady and look, I became a champion. When Ryan Clark and the boys walk in the room, I'm in those rooms, not everybody in those rooms. So listen, what might be best for what other people think for me, that's the problem. Everyone wanna be my mom and dad, like I'm a dad, you know what I'm saying? I got six kids, I don't need y'all to be my dad and worry about what AB gonna do. AB did this, don't worry about what I'm doing, just know the work here, the work gonna be presented. And it's have been presented, no matter what's been done.

• 27:20Channing Crowder?

  And you good with all your, you have no regrets in anything you've ever done?

• 27:25Antonio Brown?

  Nah, man, that's a part of living. I ain't my best human, you guys ain't your best human. We all involving people until we die, we believe to be better. Yeah, I ain't done some stuff that may have been right, but it may have been right in my heart at the moment. And that's what I did. And emotionally, as people, we made a physically, mentally, emotionally. Sometimes you make, you say, "F**k me," I'm gonna say, "F**k you too." You say you want war, you touch me, I'm gonna "F**k" you over. That's what I'm living on. Obviously, we can't think like that in the real world, but I'm a player, I'm a receiver. I'm used to, but God's in front of me being aggressive, decisive. You know, that's a mentality. That ain't a mentality in the real world, but that's a mentality for me being in the game. So people gotta differentiate, hey, man, AB a real person. He can make logical decisions that you may not understand.

• 28:09Antonio Brown?

  You know, you might not get it in this year, but two years from now, now I became a champion. You're like, oh, the money wasn't important to him. But a lot of football players can't think like that because they haven't been set up with the opportunity that I have been. So that create the conflict, that create the jealousy, that create Hans Ward telling Bruce Arians, oh, AB don't know his plays. Emmanuel Sanders rapping in the meeting. Yeah, Kobe Young can fly, that's what we do. We getting ready to come to show. Why are you hating on it?

• 28:37Ryan Clark?

  What was the name? What was the name back in the day?

• 28:39Antonio Brown?

  Young Money Crew, we the Mugadi Boys. We ride out, like, we got fast cars and we smoke people for touchdowns. That's our motto, that's what we live by, like, that's what we stand on. But a lot of older guys, they want to understand that because that's too much energy for them.

• 28:53Ryan Clark?

  Right.

• 28:53Antonio Brown?

  So they try to harness that. And that's the guys that speak on the television. Ryan does a great job. I have a personal relationship with him. He threw my son's birthday party at the science center. You know what I'm saying?

• 29:05Ryan Clark?

  You know, it's dope.

• 29:07Antonio Brown?

  Uncle and all the kids, you know what I'm saying? My mind work, but people don't think my mind work because I'm hanging with Floyd and I'm just saying billions of dollars like every day. And then I'm saying like, oh, you know.

• 29:16Ryan Clark?

  So, so AB, for, for, for you, I, I remember you coming in, right? And, and, and your childhood wasn't a childhood that said you would end up being where you are. It didn't say that AB would end up being, shoot, really this cultural icon. So tell me when that switched from you, growing up the way you did, being drafted in the sixth round. Didn't you show up to school with like a duffel bag? And a duffel bag only? And now being in this position where you do run in the circles you run in, what was the switch for you that told you football wasn't enough when you damn near came from nothing?

• 29:51Antonio Brown?

  Football is enough. I just think that a lot of stuff right now look a little shiny outside the game. Like I said, a lot of players haven't been in that position. Where off the field, it would get hotter even a little bit because. You know, the game is about the quarterbacks. You know, them the guys that get in the front lines and the real looks. You know, because I'm at this point right now. It look like it's something else. But like, yo, I'm known for football. Football what I do good. I'm my best person when I'm on the field, working out, training, being my best self. Going against guys like you, you know, dominating guys like you. So they know like when they go home at night, that boy, that boy, you know what I'm saying? For work, I know he make it look good, but when he come on the field, you know I ain't running out of gas.

• 30:29Ryan Clark?

  Yeah, you grounded, yeah.

• 30:30Antonio Brown?

  You know I'm taking it to the zone every time because that's what I stand on. That's my standard, like Coach T say, the standard is the standard. That's my standard. When A B pull up to your football team, he gonna have the most energy. He gonna never run out of gas. You see me come out the game and tap my helmet every before I play?

• 30:45Ryan Clark?

  Not one time. To this day?

• 30:47Antonio Brown?

  When my big toe was swelled up in 2012, who played the whole year?

• 30:50Ryan Clark?

  You. But A B, A B, but to this day now with Cup, Devante Adams, Tyreek Hill.

• 30:56Antonio Brown?

  Them some good players.

• 30:57Ryan Clark?

  But are you with them?

• 30:59Antonio Brown?

  Them some good players.

• 31:00Ryan Clark?

  2022, A B, you still with them boys?

• 31:02Antonio Brown?

  I'm the OG now, these the young boys. Take the game crazy as you can. We'll judge it after. I ain't gotta say what I do. You already know what I do.

• 31:09Ryan Clark?

  Do you still want to play?

• 31:10Antonio Brown?

  Yeah, I'm a player. I got ankle surgery in a couple of weeks.

• 31:13Ryan Clark?

  Okay.

• 31:13Antonio Brown?

  I'm gonna be out there to give you the work.

• 31:15Ryan Clark?

  So who, so if you had your choice of who you could play for right now, who would it be?

• 31:20Antonio Brown?

  We'll see when the quarterbacks, you know, at March free agency start. I got my surgery in a couple of weeks. We gonna document the whole process with me coming back dominating. I feel like with Temple, I did good. I feel like they ain't used me to my highs and my potential. You can check my GPS numbers. They still got analytics on what I do. They still know what I do. They still can't win without me.

• 31:42Ryan Clark?

  I love it.

• 31:42Antonio Brown?

  Like, you know what I'm saying? No matter where I go, no matter where I go, I leave, you can't win without me. The GOAT called me to move the mountain, so I must be the mountain.

• 31:49Ryan Clark?

  Hmm, so tell me this, you had the stuff with Ben. You said you couldn't be where you are without Ben Roethlisberger. But obviously, when you left, y'all had y'all issues. Same thing with Tom Brady. He was willing to let you live in his house. If you're going to another team, and I'm a quarterback, what tells me I can trust Antonio Brown? Because the game is about trust. The game is about relationships.

• 32:09Antonio Brown?

  Let me get this straight. Tom Brady is one of my closest friend ever, man. In my darkest time, he the guy that came to got me. He the guy that invited me over to Jeff's over house, made a plan for me getting back in the league. Made a plan for me to get back to being the champion. Got my life on track to be in the position I'm in. He can't help how other people treat me. And I'm as his friend crying in the media like, "Bro, help me out." He got a job to do. They didn't want me at first. He made them want me. And then when they got me, they wanted me, we won, and then they still treat me like this. You know, it was outside of his control at this point, but don't get it twisted, man. I'm forever indebted and love Tom Brady. Because what he did for me, a lot of guys would have never do. You know what I'm saying? He stood on the table for me.

• 32:53Antonio Brown?

  He told everybody what it was, the reality of A B. Man, this guy is for real. This guy's about business. This guy, this guy show up and be the highest professional you ever seen. And he's still on the table when everyone turned their back. And in the darkest times, you remember your friends in a situation like that. So, don't never get it twisted. Me and Tom Brady ain't got nothing that's negative.

• 33:13Channing Crowder?

  That's good to hear.

• 33:13Antonio Brown?

  It's all love with Tom Brady, like, you know, I know a little flashy in the media, but don't play with me about Tom Brady. Like, Tom Brady executed my career when everyone was trying to count me out and helped me become a champion. And like, don't take for granted, you know what I'm saying, about that. You know, I wish, you know, he could have helped, but how he gonna do something? We all work for the NFL. We all players, you know? It's not his team. I know if it's his team, shit, he'll throw me the ball every play.

• 33:38Channing Crowder?

  Bruh, do you think you can get another big deal? After all that, like you saying, like, you're overall, bruh, you can't. I know you was hot about your deal in Tampa now. Do you think you can get another one?

• 33:48Antonio Brown?

  I wasn't hot about no deal with Tampa. I'm good with Tampa.

• 33:50Channing Crowder?

  Bruh, you talked about Gronk money. And you ain't get Gronk money. You think you'll get another big deal?

• 33:55Antonio Brown?

  Nah, listen, it ain't about the videos, about respect. Look at the analytics. When I got the Tampa Bay Buccaneers team last year, who led the team? Do you know the analytics? I know R C.

• 34:05Channing Crowder?

  I do. 100%.

• 34:06Antonio Brown?

  So, let me ask the question.

• 34:07Channing Crowder?

  When he played, he led the team in the tips.

• 34:08Antonio Brown?

  So, when I played in the game, who led the team?

• 34:11Channing Crowder?

  You did.

• 34:11Antonio Brown?

  Alright, so why we acting like?

• 34:13Channing Crowder?

  Bruh, I saw you eating the, I'm a Dolphin fan. I cover the Dolphin. Bruh, you destroyed our ass.

• 34:17Antonio Brown?

  Yeah, but you know, we could do that every week.

• 34:19Channing Crowder?

  But is a team gonna respect you as the number one option?

• 34:23Antonio Brown?

  Man, listen, I was coming off the bench being humble for 30 plays. You know what I'm saying? I was showing that I could be a humble player and not, you know, come in the game when needed and make those big plays for Tampa. I showed I could go in when Mike Evans go down and play 60 plays. I understand that I'm not the 25-year-old player that I was that they wanna... Whatever my role is, I could get in there and move the chains and get to the box efficiently. I'm faster than a lot of young players, I'm smarter, I get open. That's what I do. It ain't enough for me to worry about who gonna sign me and what they gonna do. My job is to be ready. Long as I'm ready, there's 32 teams, 30 whatever teams alone, the other teams, somebody will give me an opportunity.

• 35:01Ryan Clark?

  I got a name I wanna throw out there though. Dak Prescott. Is that a guy you wanna play with?

• 35:05Antonio Brown?

  Dallas Cowboys sexy too. You know, I like them too. We gonna have a lot of opportunities. The first order I've been in, get my ankle cleaned up, you know, and get on that training regimen. Get discipline on my schedule. And you know how we go to work, man? And we go work with an agenda, a mission, and we go to do it. We don't worry about who gonna do it. As long as we ready, it's gonna be an opportunity. If that's for 60 players, we ready. If that's for 30 players, we ready. Let's just win. Let's just win, man. I got a lot of stats, you know my stats? Even missing years, I'm still, you know, up there. Who doing what I'm doing? At an old age still too.

• 35:41Ryan Clark?

  Are you a Hall of Famer?

• 35:42Antonio Brown?

  Come on, man, y'all asking questions y'all should already know.

• 35:45Ryan Clark?

  I'm asking you, do you believe that?

• 35:47Antonio Brown?

  We know, we have our own opinion. Who the most, let me ask you a question. Any sixth round receiver, who got the most yards for a sixth round in history ever?

• 35:55Ryan Clark?

  I don't even know.

• 35:55Antonio Brown?

  Who got the best run? Who got the best run for a sixth round receiver ever?

• 35:59Ryan Clark?

  You got the best run for any receiver for six years?

• 36:02Antonio Brown?

  Ever, any. I know, I'm just hoping y'all know.

• 36:04Ryan Clark?

  I know.

• 36:04Fred Taylor?

  It's strong. We know who Antonio Brown is. I think they wanna know who is A.B. Are we witnessing the evolution of Antonio Brown? Are you making preparation for post-career? You know, you and Yeezy, you guys have developed the relationship. I think a lot of people wanna know, how is that relationship? Working with Kanye? You know, what's next for you? You know, it's a lot of questions outside of football because when they look at you as a football player, they try to put you in a box and say, you know, mentally. He ain't on his radar, but what's next for A B?

• 36:44Antonio Brown?

  Well, we see what happen next, you know, obviously I got a lot of shiny opportunities, you know, like being with Ye and being the president of Dona's Sports.

• 36:51Fred Taylor?

  How did that come into play and then tell me what's next?

• 36:54Antonio Brown?

  So, I ran into Kanye in L A at Craig's and we had decided like, like yo, man, me and you like the same, we both geniuses, like whatever you want to do, you just tell me how much you want and I'll do it. You know what I mean? Just write down bulletin board what you want, how much, whatever you want and then I'mma do it because I know you're a genius and I know you can help me creatively with, uh, Dona's Sports. I'm just like, man, I already got my own money, so, you know, I mean, just, you know, make me the president in regards of being able to help in the sports department. Obviously, people see, you know, you like basketball, you like sports, if you watch this documentary and they see that you empower other people, like, you know, he's upon ownership and leadership and, and helping others. You know, he just got out all his contract, did a lot of smart and strategic moves.

• 37:39Antonio Brown?

  Obviously, you know, about his creative genius from being an artist or, you know, being a culturally empire in fashion, so, you know, we came together, you know, and he gave me an opportunity to be the president of the sports, you know, giving kids, players and the few future generation opportunities. So, players don't run in the instance, like what I have done, the instance where he have done, where record labels don't believe, people don't believe, and you gotta stand on believing in yourself and you gotta break down these doors, you gotta still have people doubt you. So, he already felt the energy that what we've been through and the mentality I had, so he gave me the opportunity, you know, to be in the sports department for Dona's Sports and the League Sports Club that empower the future generation, the next superhero, you know what I mean?

• 38:21Antonio Brown?

  Help us not be in these positions with, with football players who've been great for so long. You look up at them and they're iconic and they just fall at the end of their career and no one's there to bring them up or, you know, he just gave me that leeway to be able to empower the culture with influence, you know, help people in positions like me who don't have Tom Brady, to, you know, help you when you can't get up, you know what I mean? So, in regards of that. You know, that opportunity has been great for me, but it's bigger than just me and that opportunity. You know, I don't have that opportunity just for AB's sake. You know, that opportunity is for the next kid.

• 38:56Ryan Clark?

  Right.

• 38:57Antonio Brown?

  The next person looking for the opportunity, the better their life, to be the best player. Because kids got dreams and we're here to just provide that elite club and pack those dreams and help people to be themselves creatively.

• 39:08Ryan Clark?

  Did Ye like your music? You got a whole lot of money. I heard it, bro. I know you got a whole lot of money, a whole lot of money, a whole lot of money.

• 39:14Antonio Brown?

  No, real sorry.

• 39:15Ryan Clark?

  Did Ye like the music?

• 39:16Antonio Brown?

  So really, I ain't never had played Ye my music until we went to Floyd's party. DJ J. Blin, Champ DJ, actually played my song because he like it because, you know, I ain't really going to people selling them on what I do. If you don't really know, then you should find out. Like, you know what I'm saying? I'm not going out here pushing CDs. You know, I just do this creatively because I love it and I learned to love it more since I wasn't playing. So, I played at Pit From the Palace at Champ's party and he was rocking crazy to it. He say he gonna possibly get on it.

• 39:47Ryan Clark?

  He fooling with it.

• 39:49Ryan Clark?

  So you have what goes on, you have what goes on in Tampa or what went on in New York with Tampa.

• 39:55Antonio Brown?

  I ain't been home yet.

• 39:56Ryan Clark?

  And then you was already, you was ready to drop an album. That seems calculated, bro.

• 40:01Antonio Brown?

  Listen, I don't upload DSPs.

• 40:04Ryan Clark?

  Okay.

• 40:04Antonio Brown?

  I have a big deal with a distribution company called Video. They backed my record label at Cadd Records. They backed it with a lot of money and when stuff happened, he dropped the music.

• 40:13Ryan Clark?

  Mm-hmm.

• 40:13Antonio Brown?

  I make the music, I give it to him. I don't even worry about the rollouts. He do all the rollouts. So when that thing happened at the game, I left the game, he like, yo, uh, ABM upload and everything, it be ready in an hour, I'll send it to you. At that point, I ain't even, I was so frustrated, I wasn't even thinking about that. But he did that because I got a deal of music. Not only I got a distribution deal with Video, I got a deal with Fuego. I got a five million dollar, uh, deal with Fuego with music and I got equity. Football players don't get that, so that's why the jealousy come in because they like, huh. How is he that cool to be able to do that? But, you know. I'm a renaissance man.

• 40:53Ryan Clark?

  So on the other side, on the other side of that though, you hanging out with Kanye and you've been through a lot of adversity. Right now, it seems that Kanye is going through a ton of adversity. Obviously, things going on with his family. And you're in the midst of that, becoming one of his closest friends. And we all sit around, we all drop knowledge to one another. And we all share about life. Is there ever any times you sitting with Kanye like, "Bro, look, I done been through some stuff. Here's some advice on handling this." Do you advise him?

• 41:23Antonio Brown?

  I never advise him, because you know, he's a creative genius. He make his own decision. But you know, we had a ride to the airport, you know, caught a private jet to go to the Dunder game in Chicago. You know, I always tell him, you know, family important. And you know, it's nothing like being with your family. And in the day, you know, your family is where the love at, you know, and I always let him know, and he know, he know that too, so, you know.

• 41:45Channing Crowder?

  Do you struggle with that, with your kids and your life? And outside of A.B., Ann, Antonio, Tavarus Brown? Do you struggle with separating that and not being around your kids?

• 41:56Antonio Brown?

  Nah, you gotta make kids important, you know. The time with kids is the most important thing you could do. So to me, you know, being with a dad is far more important than anything. You know what I mean? So you make time for the things that are important, and your legacy is your kids and your family. So you can keep that in perspective.

• 42:13Channing Crowder?

  Yeah, and you make babies. You know how to make babies. Are you nasty?

• 42:17Antonio Brown?

  Nah, I ain't that nasty, what you mean?

• 42:19Channing Crowder?

  I'm just, how nasty are you? Like, are you missionary guy?

• 42:23Ryan Clark?

  I knew this was coming.

• 42:24Channing Crowder?

  I gotta ask, because I just, I love to hear about this.

• 42:27Ryan Clark?

  Hey, I realize too, my dog was getting busy before the game with the Jets too, though.

  Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

  My dog, hey, he wasn't just sleeping at curfew.

• 42:35Channing Crowder?

  A.B., it's so funny.

• 42:36Antonio Brown?

  I don't even have sets for the game, though.

• 42:38Channing Crowder?

  Hey, no, when the thing came out about that, everybody knows if the team is on the 14th floor, you can get a room on the 17th floor and bring something back.

• 42:46Antonio Brown?

  They got security on the floor, man. I don't know why they do that.

• 42:48Channing Crowder?

  But then you can go upstairs. I did it, A.B.

• 42:52Antonio Brown?

  Fam, I'm A.B. to the team. You don't think the security, all these people, they like, they like, watch me, they watch me like, extra, like, "Bro, you can't do that." Like, you know that, bro.

• 43:01Channing Crowder?

  You can't sneak up that back, that back staircase?

• 43:03Ryan Clark?

  Hey, this is, hey, listen, this is the nastiest human I know. If there is any way to get to something in the hotel, he gonna get there, A.B.

• 43:11Channing Crowder?

  The night before, hold on, you guys are football players? Give me your funniest night before the game you had sex, what happened in that game? Tell me, because I know you had the worst game ever, tell me.

  You work so hard during the week, running these plays over and over, focus on film.

• 43:44Channing Crowder?

  So why didn't the story come out then?

  See, he was an average guy, so he can do some shit like that.

• 44:29Channing Crowder?

  Why am I the one to test my, test my gangster?

• 44:32Antonio Brown?

  I respect you, but I'm saying, this is the type of shit that average players do. Like, I'm gonna hit her after the game and get her IV, you heard, and I ain't gonna even get on soft. That's the type of shit I be on, like, after the game, I'ma go to, I'ma buy you a go yard, and I ain't gonna come after that. She like, hi, I'm like, don't even worry about it.

• 44:49Channing Crowder?

  Okay, but, but past that, you like, I was gonna ask, you like, like role playing and toys?

• 44:54Antonio Brown?

  No, I don't do that.

• 44:56Channing Crowder?

  You don't do no role playing, you ain't never been a kitty cat and the girl is an old woman in the house? And you at the back door and you scratched the door?

• 45:03Antonio Brown?

  I like to get right to business, you know, I'm sexy with it, but I ain't really.

• 45:06Channing Crowder?

  You ain't really nasty.

  But we get it, we in the point of no doubt though. A lot of people don't like to talk about that, I love it. Like, you a superstar now, bro. Like, it's a different life. Like, a lot of football players don't live your life. And you've explained that about the things you've been able to do outside of it, whether it's music, commercials, endorsements. Now, you're in the Kanye and the Floyd world. Is it a different world to a point to where you feel like you've transcended football? To where you no longer need football anymore?

• 46:42Antonio Brown?

  Well, I always need football, you know, because it bring out the best of yourself. There's no other game or no other work in the world where it's like me against you or me versus myself. So like, football always the main thing for me because I know I still got the skills to win. There's nothing as a player when you know you could still be like successful with doing your job. A football player usually know when he can't get off the hash or he can't make that hit. Frantin, you knew when you couldn't really get up to the top burst.

• 47:14Ryan Clark?

  Right.

• 47:15Antonio Brown?

  I don't really know that I can't do that. I still run 20s on the G P 21. Imagine like I just had knee surgery in June, getting my knee cleaned up. Like, and I'm a worrying football player, like I done been to the doctor and like got... You feel me like, yeah, like I'm a really, I'm committed to the game. I done been, I done did everything regarding the game.

• 47:34Ryan Clark?

  How are people supposed to, right now, look at you and take this seriously? Like you got the hood on your head. Like the people who don't understand our culture and don't understand what that mean, don't understand what it's about fashion, they'll look at you and they'll judge you. They'll perceive you a certain way.

• 47:51Antonio Brown?

  This is about the message. I cover my face because a lot of people ruin my face. So sometimes they don't need to see my face. This ain't about Kanye. This is about AB. When I walk to places, people want to take pictures and I don't know how to say no. So sometimes I need to cover my face so I could get straight to where I gotta go. This ain't about fashion. Yeah, my fashion does has a message. This is mine. This is about ownership. This is about getting the right to write the message. I might not want to show y'all my face because it's always right up on my face. It's always the wrong sand on my face. So now I'm not bringing more attention to myself. I just don't want you to see my face right now. I know, I know it looks sexy to y'all, but I mean, I want to show my face.

• 48:31Ryan Clark?

  So with that being said, right?

• 48:32Antonio Brown?

  I want to stop all the girls, take a picture. I want to relax and be a normal girl. So I might want to cover my face, but I still can see. Hey Fred, how many fingers you got up? Four. You know, when niggas get knocked out, they be like, get the sock. Hey, one time I got hit so hard.

• 48:47Ryan Clark?

  My tears perfect? My tears perfect?

• 48:50Antonio Brown?

  That was hard, but it wasn't that hard.

• 48:54Antonio Brown?

  Let's talk about that hit.

• 48:55Ryan Clark?

  Yeah, let's talk about it, dawg.

• 48:56Fred Taylor?

  Let's talk about it.

• 48:58Antonio Brown?

  You know what I'm saying? Let's talk about the hit. If you play in the NFL long enough, you gonna take a big hit. It's a part of the game. If you ain't get hit hard, if somebody hit you hard, then you wasn't playing football for real.

• 49:09Fred Taylor?

  You wasn't playing.

• 49:09Antonio Brown?

  But sometimes he want to talk about when I get hit. You a guy, how many times you got hit hard? Where you like, ooh, he got the best me right there. Yeah, a lot of times that happened to me. But yeah, it's a couple of times. That's a part of the game. But I won, I won a lot of share in the cup of my time.

• 49:23Ryan Clark?

  Yeah.

• 49:23Antonio Brown?

  And I kicked a lot of ass in my time.

• 49:25Ryan Clark?

  Yeah.

• 49:26Antonio Brown?

  You ever seen the guy stop me?

• 49:27Ryan Clark?

  No, bro.

• 49:27Antonio Brown?

  You ever seen the guy stop me? So what we, what we saying?

• 49:29Ryan Clark?

  You got any beef with Bird?

• 49:30Antonio Brown?

  Listen.

• 49:31Channing Crowder?

  You got any beef with him, Buck?

• 49:32Antonio Brown?

  No, man.

• 49:32Channing Crowder?

  Cause that was a cheap shot, bro. I'm a linebacker, and I said it.

• 49:34Antonio Brown?

  That helped us win the game. You see how good of a teammate I am? I took the hit, took the knockout for the team to get close to win the playoff game. And you know what happened after the next game? The motherfucker didn't even take me to the game.

• 49:47Ryan Clark?

  But you couldn't play though, AB. You was concussed.

• 49:49Antonio Brown?

  So that don't so cause I can't play, I can't come. Let me tell you how the NFL works. Niggas be so jealous of me, right? I'm a part of the team, like this is like, hold on. This the army, right? You done been killing with niggas all year. The moment niggas say, yo, yo, man, I got a concussion, I can't play. That mean I can't come to the playoff game and support the game? What type of is that?

• 50:09Channing Crowder?

  Do you think, do you think?

• 50:10Antonio Brown?

  How would you feel? How would you feel?

• 50:12Channing Crowder?

  I'd have been hurt.

• 50:14Channing Crowder?

  I'd have been hurt.

• 50:14Antonio Brown?

  These guys, they jealous, you know what I'm saying? Like that be happening, like, oh, Coach don't want AB on the sideline because the sideline gonna swing the camera and talk about he there. Like that I be having to deal with because these guys be that jealous and shit. You know what I'm saying? Like, I just won the biggest game for the team, honey, y'all. Took the knockout hit, yeah, took the jokes, the memes, all the funny shit.

• 50:37Channing Crowder?

  And they wouldn't let you come to the game the next week.

• 50:39Antonio Brown?

  The coach say, you can't go.

• 50:41Fred Taylor?

  Did any of that, cause you was, you was the star, you were a leader on the team. Did any of that factor into your decision to want to get out of Pittsburgh?

• 50:48Antonio Brown?

  Yeah, man, just always, you know what I'm saying? And then my last year, you know, I get the, what was it, twenty eighteen, twenty seventeen? I just get seventy five million. I, I think I was the cover of Matt in the twenty eighteen. I had the first player with the face off. Nike give me a tour bus to ride around AC, he's wrapped up with my picture. Guys are jealous, man. I told you in twenty twenty, in twenty twelve, I had a forty two million dollar deal. I'm fighting the best corner every day because he, he, he mad because the young guy don't put to show him up. It's a young man's game.

• 51:20Ryan Clark?

  Hey, B, that's not why we were fighting you.

• 51:22Antonio Brown?

  Why y'all was fighting?

• 51:23Ryan Clark?

  We were, we were fighting you because you believed you were the team.

• 51:27Antonio Brown?

  How I'm gonna believe I'm a team? I'm a six round guy who you something? Was he wearing y'all ass out? Every [__] day. What you think he's that dude?

• 51:34Ryan Clark?

  Channing.

• 51:35Antonio Brown?

  In the NFL. You know he was. He wearing y'all ass out. In the NFL, only, guys only accept the quarterback being the guy. Yeah. They was having a, I got 75 mil in 2017. Imagine the jealousy then? The jealousy in 2012 for 40 mil, bro, I'm fighting guys every day. They mad when I walk down the hill, people get louder for me than they get louder for them. So now they.

• 51:56Ryan Clark?

  Who was mad about that?

• 51:57Fred Taylor?

  Wait, wait, wait.

• 51:58Ryan Clark?

  You! I was [__] not.

• 51:59Antonio Brown?

  You were mad.

• 52:00Ryan Clark?

  There's no way I'm mad about that.

• 52:02Antonio Brown?

  He get mad. They were mad. No, Ryan Clark, he signed the autographs to the lake. I walk up to the autograph, he, he, you know, they going crazy. Hundreds of people.

• 52:11Ryan Clark?

  He's delusional.

• 52:12Antonio Brown?

  Hey, hey, he signed it for autograph. No, soon as I walk up, the people leave him and come to me, he like.

• 52:18Fred Taylor?

  Hey, hey, AB, let me, AB, let me flip it. Were you guys jealous of the young guy?

• 52:24Antonio Brown?

  Yeah, they was jealous.

• 52:25Fred Taylor?

  Hold up, did you have a target on a young guy?

• 52:28Ryan Clark?

  Absolutely not. The reason, the reason me and AB almost fought was because.

• 52:33Fred Taylor?

  No, no, I'm not talking about you and AB.

• 52:35Ryan Clark?

  Because he cussed out.

• 52:35Antonio Brown?

  Can I tell you a story?

• 52:36Ryan Clark?

  Even when AB had the money, the year we threw the party, AB had the deal already. The first party was thrown somewhere else. The next year, we used to watch Lil AB and we was like, nah, we gonna make sure this party gets together. Cause to me, this is a dude that's a single father taking care of his child.

• 52:52Antonio Brown?

  Right? I used to live by myself, but you and the kids.

• 52:55Ryan Clark?

  And so that was what I was worried about.

• 52:56Antonio Brown?

  I was going late everywhere. They think I was crazy, like, yo, he come late everywhere. So they had to find out like, damn, that boy really raised his kid, nobody had know.

• 53:03Fred Taylor?

  Right.

• 53:03Antonio Brown?

  You see what I'm saying? But Ryan Clark was mad at me, that's why he was mad. Because when the young.

• 53:07Fred Taylor?

  Tell it all, baby.

• 53:08Antonio Brown?

  When the, he the leader. When the young player getting money and, and, and, and successful on the team, it come to Ryan Clark, Clark, calm that guy down. He's the karma, he's the headache guy. When our team looking soft, they look for him.

• 53:21Fred Taylor?

  Here's the vet card.

• 53:22Antonio Brown?

  No, no.

• 53:22Fred Taylor?

  They were trying to pull the vet card.

• 53:23Antonio Brown?

  Let me tell you what happened with Ryan Clark. I get the 42 million dollar deal, right? The first day I practiced, we in one on one lines. You know, NFL one on one lines is the, is the most competitive thing because look, it's me versus you and the whole freaking stands watching. And you know me, I'm going deep every time. All them know that. And it's the first day of practice after I get 42 million dollars.

• 53:44Ryan Clark?

  Same day, it's the same day.

• 53:45Antonio Brown?

  The same day I just got paid. So you know when these guys come to play, it's practice. They come to play against me. Let me tell you how we go in one on one line. The dude slapped me in the head. I'm trying to give him relief. He don't even go to touch me. He slapped me in the head. So I'm like, ain't no Big Ben. Big Ben throw the ball in the ground. So ended like, he just got the best of me. So I said, all right, we go again. Slap his ass in the head, run the route, catch the ball. Don't ever do that shit again or I'mma fuck you over. Right? So now the coach said, oh, he can't do that to him. I'm like, cool, I like you respecting him, but I'll fuck you over too. So I told him, so why I tell him that? This man on the other side of the field, he ain't even on this online. He over there with his safety. This is RDB. He's the guy running the team.

• 54:30Antonio Brown?

  Man, I knew when he got the money, he was gonna change. Man, this god, man. I told y'all, y'all shouldn't have paid him. So I'm not like, fuck you too, I'mma fuck you over. So now I'm ready to fuck all of them over. That's what's going on. So now I gotta do this the whole year. We fucking trash. We don't even make the playoffs. Because these guys was mad I getting money and they, these guys older. They coming on, they on the brink where they ain't getting paid as much. They ain't getting appreciated as much. They wanna fuck me over.

• 54:58Ryan Clark?

  Hey guys, I'mma tell you this. From, from, from, and me. From me. Antonio Brown is full of shit.

• 55:04Antonio Brown?

  That wasn't true?

• 55:06Ryan Clark?

  So, nobody, nobody cared about the money. Nobody cared.

• 55:09Antonio Brown?

  What did you say with the incident? How did you come into the incident?

• 55:12Ryan Clark?

  So remember, I told you, I said at the beginning of the show, when Mike Tomlin told me he would get the deal.

• 55:17Antonio Brown?

  No, what did you say when this, the fight happened? Over there, when you was way over there.

• 55:21Ryan Clark?

  I told you that I was finna fuck you up.

• 55:23Antonio Brown?

  No, you said, I knew when y'all paid him, he was gonna change.

• 55:27Ryan Clark?

  And I was right.

• 55:29Antonio Brown?

  But why would you say that? You don't even know what's going on.

• 55:31Ryan Clark?

  Because it be, it be, it's not, it's not about him slapping you first. When you have Dick LeBeau, who is 75 years old.

• 55:37Antonio Brown?

  He's an ex NFL player who's a Hall of Famer, defensive back.

• 55:41Ryan Clark?

  Right.

• 55:41Antonio Brown?

  He's watching the drill and he's fired up.

• 55:43Ryan Clark?

  So Antonio, tell me this. How can Troy respect him, but you don't fucking have to?

• 55:47Antonio Brown?

  I respect him. I'm just telling him in the drill, I will fuck him over right now in the drill.

• 55:51Ryan Clark?

  But that's not your place and it was my place. If you said that, I had to check it.

• 55:55Antonio Brown?

  See what I'm saying? The field, now I'm ready to fuck him over. In the field, I fuck him over right now. Because he couldn't tell me what I could do to talk to who. Fuck that, I'll talk to whoever I want. If you wanna do it, I'm whooping your ass. That's what I'm standing on.

• 56:07Fred Taylor?

  I'm playing, I'm playing catch up. So he told Dick LeBeau.

• 56:10Antonio Brown?

  I listen, no, let me tell you the play.

• 56:12Ryan Clark?

  Dick LeBeau, bro.

• 56:13Antonio Brown?

  You ain't listening. You ain't listening.

• 56:15Fred Taylor?

  No, I'm listening.

• 56:16Antonio Brown?

  All right, friend, listen. I go to run a route, it's the day I get paid the 42 million. The first route, the guy slapped me in the head legally. You can't do that, dawg. I just told you I gained the practice with 42 mil. The first rep, the nigga slapped me in the head like, "Bro, you can't do that in the middle of the rep." So I gave him that. I come back, slap his ass back, run a route, win. So I'm hard now, like, "You already played me, I'm playing you back." So now the coach like, he getting fired up. He's an ex defensive back coach. I didn't disrespect him as an older. I respect my elders. We in a football field. This is an ex defensive back Hall of Fame guy. I love Dick LeBeau. Dick LeBeau singing the team Christmas carols.

• 56:58Antonio Brown?

  I (bleep) love Dick LeBeau. I sing with him. We cut the lights off every Christmas. This is tradition for the Steelers. Right. But in the football field, in the drill, I'm like, "Coach, you seen him slap me the first one." So now we're not slapping back and running a route on him and then everyone clapping.

• 57:13Ryan Clark?

  You know what? He goes, "He slapped me in the head, I just got 42 million." 42 million is not supposed to factor into you getting slapped.

• 57:21Antonio Brown?

  You ain't supposed to do that, gang.

• 57:22Ryan Clark?

  RC, mine is the money. You ain't supposed to, if you slapped me in my head, I'mma slap you back in your head. The problem for me was this, though. I heard 42 million. Right? And so when I'm, when I'm already, when I'm already thinking-

• 57:35Antonio Brown?

  That's the jealousy of the team. That's the jealousy of the players. I don't, I don't think- When a young guy get paid the most on the team, out of every player, and he's his third year player, he even, only played two years. That's never been done in history. You know that? Right. No one ever done that. It's still his history. So these guys is, "Man, yo, the guy slapped me, I slap him back. The coach come arguing with me, that what I could do? You coach, you ain't my coach at this point." Yeah, that's how I feel. So I'm like, "What?" This is- Now he come, "Look, the bag on the team. Look, they, I got this over here controlled, this already over." He got one, I got one. That's it. Let's get back to business. He (bleep) denied it. Right. "Since you gave this guy this money..." Bro, now we having, it ain't me just having a fight. Larry Foot having a fight, Larry Foot's the most spiritual guy on this squad.

• 58:20Antonio Brown?

  He's telling, like, he's telling Willie Cologne. Y'all had fully fight. Bro, you can't, you never [bleep] and stay healthy. We got a linebacker telling the old line, he never [bleep] and stay healthy. He a fast slaw, like, yo. He got, I see my line.

• 58:33Ryan Clark?

  It went bad.

• 58:34Antonio Brown?

  Bro.

• 58:35Ryan Clark?

  It went bad.

• 58:35Antonio Brown?

  Me and Ike Teller blows. You feel me? I'm almost killing this guy here. I almost caught him in the sock. Y'all had both sides going at it. Bro, nah, nah, he the, he the starter of the war, nah. Later on that year, I fight Ike. On Family Day, the whole, Edith Man family here. Nigga's bleeding, everything. Don't take me back to Liberty City, man. I'm, I'm familiar with beating people's eyes, bro, like. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, my [bleep] you put your hand on my tray for my food, I'mma whip your eyes, like, right there, dawg, like.

• 59:07Fred Taylor?

  Do you think the things that happened in Pittsburgh in your earlier years sort of manifested?

• 59:16Antonio Brown?

  Ryan Klaas just told you.

• 59:17Fred Taylor?

  Into what's going on now?

• 59:18Antonio Brown?

  Ryan Klaas just told you. I caught the blunt and ran full speed to the touchdown. Every day. That's a fact. Routinely, every year. That's a fact. My [bleep] knees just paid for this type of [bleep]. I did it consistently every day. Yeah.

• 59:32Fred Taylor?

  You know I know you.

• 59:34Antonio Brown?

  Nah, but people don't understand the work that they were used to see me.

• 59:37Fred Taylor?

  I know that.

• 59:37Antonio Brown?

  Working hella hard.

• 59:38Fred Taylor?

  That's, that's why I say I wanna give you here flowers. Cause I seen that. I appreciate you acknowledging, outside of, you know, regular media platforms, you know, the relationship between you and Ryan. You know, I appreciate that. And, you know, we love that here on our platform. This is the first time people heard it. Right? Cause they try to bring friction and bring you guys between each other.

• 1:00:02Antonio Brown?

  There's three stars of the story. His story, my story, and truth.

• 1:00:05Fred Taylor?

  And what you believe.

• 1:00:06Antonio Brown?

  And people only see the reaction. They don't know what the coach said to me. They don't know about the history of the coach continually every year. Disrespect from Coach Bruce Han. You was there for something. One time the guy was like, man, AB, you like a roach. I'm like, this nigga called me a roach. I gotta like take humor into disrespect like yo this is called me a roach. Like you know what I'm saying like you see here.

• 1:00:28Ryan Clark?

  So when you look at it now A B when you think about everything you've been through. You're a Hall of Fame player. You're now entering a life after football that not many football players can enter into it. When people look back on who you are, who do you think they'll see and who are you truly?

• 1:00:47Antonio Brown?

  Well, it's not about who people think I am, you know. People don't remember who you were. People remember how you made them feel. You know, how you inspired them, how you helped them, how you encouraged them. You know, when you die, they ain't gonna talk about who you was. They gonna talk about how you made people feel. And me as the president, you know, that's my job, the empire of the future. Make people feel better. You know, a lot of people gonna look at everything I'm doing in the midst of it. But you can't really judge a book till it's, you know, it's already, it's full. So a lot of people won't understand between this chapter, this chapter of what went on. But ultimately, when the story is done and it put together, people will see the truth of a beautiful picture.

• 1:01:24Ryan Clark?

  Perfect world. Where is A B five years from now? Where is A B 10 years from now?

• 1:01:29Antonio Brown?

  I'm from the pit, not the palace.

• 1:01:31Ryan Clark?

  Where at though? What you doing? Five years you playing ball, five years you rapping, five years you singing, five years you.

• 1:01:36Antonio Brown?

  Let me see.

• 1:01:36Ryan Clark?

  You owning, you know, Burger Kings?

• 1:01:39Antonio Brown?

  Let's see.

• 1:01:40Ryan Clark?

  What you gonna do? What's the plan though, bro?

• 1:01:42Antonio Brown?

  The plan, the plan to be.

• 1:01:43Ryan Clark?

  If you fail the plan, you plan to fail.

• 1:01:45Antonio Brown?

  The plan to be, the plan is to get back to the game. But get back to the game in a position that no one ever been. Maybe, maybe Jerry Jones think it look sexy that I'm putting out all this motivation and all this hard work and encouragement. Maybe he wanna harness some of that energy. You know what I mean? Obviously, you see players like Kevin Durant. Right now, active player who doing some exceptional things in the tech world. But it's never been a, a football player. You see some things LeBron James have done with his squad and motivating players and people to do. You know, I mean, I'm doing the same thing. You know what I mean? And, and it's never been done from a football player standpoint. I don't know what Jerry Rice had. They, you know, Chris Carter got kicked off the network. Shout out to Ocho Cinco, the most, one of the most marketing genius, impacting cultural dude here from Miami, Florida as well. That's my boy.

• 1:02:31Antonio Brown?

  He showed me the game since a young player. So shout out to Ocho, we gonna smoke cigars soon. Well, uh, yeah, man, I'm just an iconical player that I've been able to, you know, Ocho was one of those type of example that entertainment the game, but then they, they, they sunk him deep, you know what I mean? And took it all away from him and it wasn't no, you know, he wasn't skillful at a point where Tom Brady could come, rise him back up, you know what I'm saying?

• 1:02:54Channing Crowder?

  You know what they say, you got from the pit to the palace.

• 1:02:56Antonio Brown?

  That's what I be from, man, pit to the palace.

• 1:02:58Fred Taylor?

  AB, the way I see it, bro, and I'mma wrap this up. I like the fact that, you know, you're always trying to influence and encourage your people, much like Yeezy. I think he always preach an ownership and doing better for yourself. You know, him, uh, taking the STEM player and selling his album, and really just trying to give, you know, the game to the people that's coming after him. And you trying to give the game to the players that's coming after you. You know, you don't own me, that mindset. Has that been your biggest pivot?

• 1:03:30Antonio Brown?

  Well, the next one, man, I, I still haven't seen my best day yet. You know, it's always good to look forward to the next opportunity, but you know, it's about empowerment. You know how it is as a football player, you get your agent, you just trust your agent gonna get you the place to stay. You trust your agent gonna read that contract and get you the right deal. And the whole time your agent is taking from yourself off the field, taking from you off the, on the field. And not letting you have the creative rights to, you know, be creative as you can and make as much as you can. So what you have been able to do and I'm able to do now is able to, give us the power and the ownership and the integrity to stand on, stuff that's uncomfortable. Stand on being the all ball, you know, stand on being the missionary man. I can be good at certain things or several things, but this the main thing.

• 1:04:15Antonio Brown?

  And, you know, make the uncomfortable comfortable.

• 1:04:17Ryan Clark?

  Yeah, so the big thing is, dog, I just want to end with this on something, I guess, a little happier. We've seen you wear the Happy Dad hat, obviously they, they one of our sponsors.

• 1:04:26Antonio Brown?

  Happy Dad called me. I see, I know y'all post me on your story. Let's get this clear when you doing business. If you pay me for the club, dawg, I get the money, I'm coming to the club. That don't mean post me on your page, dawg.

• 1:04:36Ryan Clark?

  Got you, dawg.

• 1:04:37Antonio Brown?

  Happy guy called me, we get to do them.

• 1:04:39Ryan Clark?

  Lock it in. I love it. Hey, man, I just want to say this, bro. I've been waiting.

• 1:04:43Antonio Brown?

  Business booming, still booming.

• 1:04:44Ryan Clark?

  I've been waiting for a long time, man, to talk to you. I appreciate it. I texted you when everything first went down. I apologize. People don't know that.

• 1:04:50Antonio Brown?

  I got that message.

• 1:04:51Ryan Clark?

  Yeah, I apologize to you because I thought, I thought we could have a conversation. I've seen you do a lot of things since the season ended. I think this is the most open you've been, the most vulnerable, man, and transparent. And this is what like this space is for, for people to be able to get out and do what you just did, man. So we are ultimately grateful. I'm glad we finally got to talk. And, uh, man, business is booming.

• 1:05:12Antonio Brown?

  Business is booming. Love you, dawg, man.
