Antonio Brown wound up as a college student

Antonio Brown’s new beginnings with the Oakland Raiders went haywire rather quickly. The star wideout had a multitude of issues—the most interesting was his frostbitten feet suffered from not wearing shoes/protective footwear during a Whole Body Cryotherapy (WBC) session. Beyond the Austin Powers-related mishaps, Brown had issues with a helmet policy and, eventually, the Raiders—which led to the team releasing him. As expected, New England picked him up and, following rape allegations, immediately released him too. Since then, Brown has fired off sun-temperature hot takes and followed them with ghost-written apologies. Through all of it, his current status is “Central Michigan student.”
