"Call Brady and apologize" - Antonio Brown gets clowned by NFL fans over former Bucs WR's latest realization

Humility and Antonio Brown do not often go along in the same sentence, just ask Tom Brady.

The NFL GOAT is the reason wide receiver Brown got a chance to resurrect his career and win a Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, he walked out of the team in a huff midgame and spent the next few months taking aim at Brady. He crossed many lines when he went after the quarterback's marriage as it was falling apart with his ex-wife Gisele Bundchen.

So, an admission that he was wrong was unexpected and surprising. Generally used to seeing inflammatory comments and actions, Brown posted a tweet that was instead contrite and seemed to acknowledge that he had the wrong viewpoint earlier. He tweeted:

"As a owner, I finally see now why it's important to make everyone know no one is bigger then the Team '! As a player I always thought opposite !"

However, NFL fans who have seen his off-field behavior rarely meet common decorum are still unimpressed. They said that while an admission might be something, it did not go towards eliminating the hurt he has caused many people, including Tom Brady.

Here's a sampling of some of the responses to show where the general sentiment is currently. One said:

"Call Brady and apologize then"

Here are some of the other reactions:

Will Antonio Brown's latest act lead to reconciliation with Tom Brady?

While one would never know with Antonio Brown, it could be the start of a more even-keeled career curve if he maintains this outlook.

The ownership he's talking about is the National Arena League franchise Albany Empire. He recently became a part owner of the team and was introduced by majority owner Mike Kwarta. It was AB's first foray back into football since he was last seen on an NFL field.

If that leads to a realization of what it is like to be a leader, it might eventually lead to a rapproachment with his former quarterback. Brady famously was never the highest-paid quarterback in the league, aided by his wife's wealth in that regard, and understood better than anyone else that it needed a team to win in football.

It was one of the reasons why he ended up with a record seven Super Bowl rings. Perhaps the same awareness is hitting Antonio Brown now. If the sentiments here are genuine, he should give a call to the GOAT and apologize to him.
