Antonio Brown Trolls Patriots In Pregame Hype Video; Tom Brady Approves

What is this all about?

Antonio Brown on Sunday took aim at the Patriots with a post that seemingly got a stamp of approval from Tom Brady.

Ahead of the Week 4 showdown between New England and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Brown shared a pregame hype video that features highlights from his one game with the Patriots in 2019. The clip also includes footage of Bill Belichick fielding questions about Brown after rape allegations were brought against the superstar receiver.

“Laser Focus!” Brown wrote in the caption. “Around the world then I’m back again…. #CallGod #Boomin”

Take a look:

And here’s a reply from Brady:

Weird stuff.

What do you think?  Leave a comment.

Belichick didn’t say anything bad about Brown during the press conference featured in the video. In fact, the Patriots coach essentially defended Brown while deflecting questions from reporters.

Brown publicly attacked Robert Kraft upon his release from the Patriots. So, his animosity toward the franchise is no secret. Still, breaking news highlights from the day of his release would’ve made more sense for the video than what wound up being included.

The Patriots and Bucs will play Sunday night in Foxboro, Mass. Kickoff from Gillette Stadium is scheduled for 8:20 p.m. ET.
