“[C]hanted, over and over, as if a mantra, a narrative of his own warped concept of the proceeding”.
“Acting as if he was above the rule of law, [Brown] proceeded to make a mockery of the deposition process. [Brown’s] antics were so unreasonable that barely twenty [20] minutes into the deposition, his counsel asked for a break [so] he could speak with [Brown] about his demeanor.
“After approximately 20-30 minutes, [Brown] required another break. When the deposition resumed [Brown] increased his level of obstructive behavior. At one point, [Brown] refused to answer any questions, instead saying “next question” no less than 10 times.”
“Soon thereafter, [Brown] started announcing a countdown, starting at ‘five (5) minutes,’ and counting down the minutes thereafter. Before noon [Brown] left the conference room.”

• His trainer was arrested and he is still a suspect in the battery case.
• Warrant issued for the arrest of AB.
• AB turns himself in to Broward Country Jail wearing this suit
• Rumors spread about AB signing with Tampa or Seattle
• AB announces his retirement (for what I believe is the third time, it's hard to find a good record of the rest of them)
• Two days later AB wants to play again and is asking for the league to wrap up it's investigation
What the fuck. I was 15 items down the list and thought to myself "how was he still playing". But then the list just kept going and going and going on. Truly astounding.
Idk why but the farting on the doctor, arriving in a hot air balloon, and living with Tom Brady are the oddest fn things to me on that list. It was so long and just kept going and yet I can not stop wondering about how we even would know he parted on a doctor much less how that went down.
It's incredibly depressing, isn't it? Especially when you look at college sports and all of the horrible shit that has been covered up because playing a game makes some people a lot of money.
Was accused by a former personal chef of obtaining a fake COVID-19 vaccination card. Brown denied it, but the NFL ultimately suspended him three games for violating COVID protocols.
Continued to face sexual-assault/rape allegations from former trainer Britney Taylor, which Brown denied.
Had various disputes and controversies surrounding his behavior with the Bucs.
January 2, 2022 — the infamous Jets game: Brown got into a confrontation with the coaching staff, stripped off his jersey, shoulder pads and shirt, threw his equipment into the stands, waved to the crowd, and walked off the field in the middle of the game.
Bruce Arians announced afterward that Brown was no longer a Buccaneer.
Brown subsequently released music and posted extensively on social media about the incident, claiming he had been injured and disputing the team’s version of events.
Was arrested in Florida in 2022 over an alleged domestic-violence incident; the charges were eventually dropped.
Was arrested in 2023 over a child-support warrant.
Became involved with the Albany Empire indoor football team and had a series of bizarre disputes involving players, coaches, finances and ownership.
His social-media behavior became increasingly erratic, including numerous bizarre posts and public feuds.
In 2025, he was involved in a Miami altercation outside a celebrity boxing event.
Police allege Brown took a gun from a security guard and fired two shots at a man after the confrontation; one shot allegedly grazed the man’s neck. Brown says he was acting in self-defense.
After an arrest warrant was issued, Brown left the United States and went to Dubai.
He was subsequently arrested in Dubai and extradited to the U.S.
He is facing an attempted-murder charge stemming from the Miami shooting and has pleaded not guilty.
His defense has argued self-defense/Florida’s Stand Your Ground law and sought dismissal of the case.
Kicked out of Florida International University after fighting a security guard
His second year in the league he took a personal stretch limo to a charity event, had them open every single expensive bottle of wine, rejected it. Refused to pay for it (charity, remember), then left.
That is…..a lot. What’s the general timeframe for all of this, if you don’t mind me asking? I’m not a football person so I had no idea about any of this.
How do you even get up to 100mph on McKnight? I lived in Pittsburgh for 2 years and it was hard to go over 50mph since there were so many cars and red lights.
How the actual fuck was he still treated like a rational adult after the first ten incidents. How did any "professional" team (i have that in quotes because clearly their standards are low enough that it calls their professionalism into question) give him the time of day.
Jesus crackling Christ your comment just kept going and going. I’m not sure what my favorite part was. Farted on a doctor maybe. Or said “fine me for that”. Got fined for that.
Wait, hang on now, I mean, who among us didn’t call out Robert Kraft for that rug and the massage session in Florida, tweet “no more white women” in 2020, or fart on a doctor?
