"Antonio Brown is at least a low-level Batman villain at this point." In case you've missed it, Antonio Brown is in extreme meltdown mode. In the past month, he's had a weird cryotherapy injury, refused to play unless he can use an old helmet, received fines for not showing up to practice, and now he threatened to punch Raider's GM Mike Mayock in the face.
It all started yesterday when Antonio Brown posted a fine he received from the Raiders due to missing practices.
Antonio Brown took to Instagram after receiving another fine from the Raiders.

Today we learned that he also had an exchange with GM Mike Mayock yesterday as well. He apparently threatened to punch him in the face and had to be held back by teammates.
Antonio Brown was unhappy about being fined and had an exchange with #Raiders general manager Mike Mayock on Wednesday. He was held back by a couple of teammates, sources said, and is now facing a team suspension.

Antonio Brown posted the fine letter on social media that Raiders’ GM Mike Mayock sent him. It led to an exchange, which is now leading to further discipline. This is not going away anytime soon.

He also was not at practice today and there have been lots of rumors about him getting suspended as well as him wanting to get released or traded.
#Raiders GM Mike Mayock at his press conference: “Antonio Brown is not in the building today. He’s not going to be practicing. I don't have any more information. When we do, I’ll get it to you. That’s it for today."

Antonio Brown’s plot to end up with the Patriots is pure genius.

It just seems like @AB84 doesn’t want to play football anymore. All evidence points to that. I can completely relate to his behavior. I behaved the same way...playing the victim and I never had near his talent. Personal accountability is such an attribute. I hope he finds it soon

It’s perfectly possible that the #Raiders may soon look to void the guarantees for Antonio Brown’s 2019 & 2020 salaries ($14.6M in 2019, $14.5M in 2020) based on various incidents of conduct detrimental to the team.

It's obviously been an extremely meme-able month for AB and people were going for it on Twitter.
