Antonio Brown once again goes after Tom Brady, this time fat-shaming Buccaneers QB
There is no love lost between the former NFL teammates Tom Brady and Antonio Brown. But given Brown’s ample free time during the NFL season, the wide receiver spends a lot of time trolling his old quarterback on social media.
After the Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost to the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, Brown used Snapchat to make fun of Brady and the Buccaneer’s loss to the Browns. His first Snapchat was a photoshopped picture of Brady with extra fat around his face.
The second post was a meme of an upset Brady with the caption:
“Tom Brady realizing he has to talk to his family after the game.”
Previously, Brown went down the fat-shaming route to poke fun at Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr. He referred to Carr as "Derek Carb."
Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers slip in pursuit of NFC South division title
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are struggling this season at 5-6 after their latest loss to the Cleveland Browns. Tom Brady has dealt with numerous injuries to the wide receiver room. But against the Browns, he had most of his offensive weapons, including Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and Julio Jones.
imagine having 3 timeouts but not using one on a potential game winning drive because you were worried Tom Brady MIGHT THROW AN INTERCEPTION, just insanely dumb

Despite the loss, the Buccaneers still lead the division thanks to the horrendous play of the other teams in the NFC South. The Atlanta Falcons are behind the Buccaneers with a 5-7 record (the Falcons have not had their bye week yet) with the Carolina Panthers and the New Orleans Saints both at 4-8.
If nothing else changes, and the Buccaneers continue to just win enough and lose enough to stay atop the putrid NFC South, they would still win the division. This would make them the fourth seed in the NFC playoffs.
With all that has been going on, the future Hall of Fame quarterback and his team can take solace in the fact that they still control their own destiny to make the playoffs.
Despite the mediocre record, the team has time to get healthier on both sides of the ball and continue to build chemistry on offense in order to make a final push towards the playoffs. If that's not enough motivation, then perhaps Brady can exact some measure of revenge (or dilute Brown's trolling) by ultimately succeeding on the football field.
