If we've learned anything about Antonio Brown over the last few months, it's that neither accountability nor consequence is a thing that he quite grasps the concept of. Whether it be criminally or verbally, the dude has just been doing and saying whatever he damn well pleases without having much regard for what's to come of it for quite a while now. Well, not any longer. I don't particularly care that Mike Tomlin created a monster, Ben Roethlisberger routinely pissed it off, and both are now dealing with the damages of it stomping its immature feet all over a once proud and professional organization. I do, however, care about teaching the whiniest of wide receivers the lesson that words have repercussions. Therefore, as of his own ill-advised suggestion, I would hope that everyone would follow my lead in referring to Antonio Brown as 'Mr. Big Chest' so repetitively that he ends up regretting changing his own nickname in the sweaty heat of the moment. He might not be the most self-aware of superstars, but if having such an asinine epithet shouted at him, as opposed to something as clean and concise as 'AB', doesn't have him re-examining his penchant for spewing narcissist nonsense then absolutely nothing will. In the form and fashion of someone lying about their identity by catching a brand name in their periphery, Antonio Brown brought the idiocy of 'Big Chest Brown' on himself. It's not like criticism and discipline have gotten him to reflect on his behavior, so - while I have my doubts that someone as self-involved as Antonio Brown will recognize it as such - it's about time we give mockery a shot.
