'Crazy!' J.J. Watt Accused Of Steroid Use By Antonio Brown

Former NFL star Antonio Brown has unfortunately become more well-known for his outrageousness than for what was for a time a brilliant football career.

Indeed, it could be argued that much of what he did as a player on offense matched what all-time Houston Texans great J.J. Watt accomplished on defense.

But now, again, Brown - run out of the league due to a series of disturbing actions and in his forced retirement in constant trouble with law-enforcement officials amid allegations from even those who are close to him that there is a mental-illness issue - is back in the news.

And it's not about a positive action.

It was pointed out on social media on Friday that Watt and Brown played on the same offense together at Central Michigan back in 2007, and that Watt was at the time a tight end, before he of course moved to Wisconsin, moved to defense, and eventually became one of the NFL's greatest-ever players.

None of this is "news''; it is at this point simply a fun factoid. But then Brown opted to "make it news'' by replying to the tweet that their interaction, and presumably the photo of the two of them, reflected "Before bro went Steroid Crazy @CtespnN #CTESPN."

Brown's "CTE'' reference stems from assumptions that he is himself suffering from that affliction.
