- Antonio Brown Fires Back at Bruce Arians With a Video of His Super Bowl LV Ring
Tampa Bay finally ended its skid on Thursday night, beating Dallas 24-16 for its first win of the season. Yet the biggest buzz around the Buccaneers came from a former star Antonio Brown , the wideout who helped the franchise win Super Bowl LV, posted a new message aimed at Bruce Arians, and the reason traces back to one podcast.
Antonio Brown's Super Bowl ring video targets Bruce Arians
Brown posted an 11-second clip on X on Thursday with an expletive-filled caption aimed at Arians. The video appears to show him urinating on the Super Bowl LV ring he earned with Tampa Bay, the team Arians coached to the title. Fans reacted quickly and loudly across social media.
Brown finished his NFL career with 928 catches, 12,291 receiving yards, 83 touchdowns and seven Pro Bowl selections.

A day earlier, Arians joined Cam Heyward's Not Just Football podcast and looked back at the January 2022 game against the New York Jets, when Brown stripped off his jersey and pads and left the field mid-game.

"That's probably my fault," Arians told Heyward.
He said injuries to Mike Evans and Chris Godwin left Rob Gronkowski catching most throws in the middle. Brown grew upset at halftime and said he was not going back in. Arians said he told Brown to leave, and Brown took that literally.
Arians did not sound bitter. He said he loves Brown and called him a tireless worker in practice, though he said Brown sometimes gets in his own way.
Brown has taken aim at plenty of NFL names lately, and one recent target may surprise you.
