Antonio Brown spoke today on the Burfict hit and other matters

Steelers' Antonio Brown says Vontaze Burfict was trying to 'kill me, steal my dreams'

In his first public comments since he sustained a concussion in the Steelers’ 18-16 victory against Cincinnati in an AFC wild card game, Steelers All-Pro receiver Antonio Brown had some strong words for Vontaze Burfict and Adam Jones ...

“I feel like guys don’t want to stop me no more,” Brown said. “They want to take me out. They want to kill. They want to steal my dreams. They want to ruin me. They want to end me. We’re not going to let them. We’re going to win more.”

When asked if Burfict was saying those types of things on the field, Brown replied: “Every guy talks, man. When you do something like that, you hit a guy after the play, a defenseless guy in the helmet. There are a lot of things that aren’t right about that.”

Brown also had a terse reply when asked if he had any interaction with Jones ...

“The guy texted me,” Brown said. “No reply. I don’t even know why people give him the platform. Ridiculous.”

Brown said he was never close to being cleared to play against the Broncos....

Brown said he started to feel better the following Friday and was then cleared by doctors five days later, but it was unclear if he would have been able to play in the AFC championship game had the Steelers advanced.

I think Burfict has hunted for enough heads that someone is going to try and steal Burfict's dreams next year

Sounds like AB would not have played against New England - IMO losing to the Pats* again as they went to the Super Bowl would have been far worse than losing in Denver

Vontaze Burfict as

THE SANDMAN

He'll steal your dreams


Coming next August

I didn't know AB had a bit for flair and dramatics, "They want to take me out. They want to kill. They want to steal my dreams. They want to ruin me. They want to end me"

I can see Hamlet saying something like this [I need to reread Hamlet: it's been a while].

Someone needs to make this a meme, or at least a slogan on a tee shirt.

Vontaze Burfict has attained the Mister Sandman perk

It's right up there with Michael Crabtree's "I dreamed it...in my head!" after Texas Tech upset Texas.

I see you're channeling your inner Ray Lewis again.

The weapon of choice gave it away.

It was a blatant cheap shot, he hit Brown in the head with the forearm. You don't do that unless you're trying to harm someone.

With bell too, if you re watch that, instead of letting momentum carry him down, he whips his legs behind bell to trap the knee. Ken shamrock would be proud

Vontaze Burfict =

Burfict will get his - best quote I ever read about payback being a bitch came from Bart Scott discussing Hines

Scott, to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, said of Ward: "His time will come. He'll get his. . . . He'll come across the middle one day, and someone will hit him or take out his knee. The guy will be fined, and [Ward] will be gone. No one will care. No one will even care. No one will send him any cards saying they're sorry. Not to that guy. . . . You reap what you sow."

Not saying Hines was dirty, just that players know how to take someone out - a lot easier to take down a LB than a WR

Burt Lauten ‏@SteelersPRBurt

#Steelers WR @AntonioBrown84 has arrived in SF for @superbowl50 events in style.

That's just plain sick.

I was so glad A.B. came out and said this. I was a bit pissed when James Harrison early on defended the hit, saying it was unavoidable...
