It feels like not that long ago that Cam Heyward and Antonio Brown were teammates on the Pittsburgh Steelers. 

But it has been a while, and while Heyward is still atop his game, Brown is wanted by Miami-Dade authorities for attempted murder

That hasn't slowed him down from his social media shenanigans, however, with Cam Heyward being the focal point of a recent post from AB…


Heyward claps back at AB for the distasteful post

"Good thing you can’t spell?! Let me know when you back in the states," responded Heyward in response to Antonio Brown's post. If you're wondering where Brown is, that would be the Middle East, where he has fled amid his ongoing legal situation. Here are the details on that:

Officers responded to a report of gunshots being fired outside of the venue shortly before midnight May 16. When they arrived, an off-duty officer working security at the event said he left the venue after being told of the sound of gunfire, according to the warrant, and said he then observed Brown involved in a physical altercation with another man.Patrons in the parking lot told officers that Brown was the shooter, according to the warrant, which also states that Brown had no weapon on him when officers patted him down. Investigators found two spent shell casings and an empty gun holster, according to the warrant.Miami police detectives later obtained video footage that appears to show Brown punching another man, sparking a melee, and the footage later shows Brown appearing to take the gun of a security officer and running toward the man he had punched. According to the warrant, cellphone video captures two gunshots as Brown approaches the victim and includes the victim ducking.

Brown, who last played for the Steelers in 2018, had stints with the Las Vegas Raiders (though he never played), New England Patriots, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers before walking away from football in 2021.
