If you're looking for a good example of the pot calling the kettle black, Antonio Brown obliged Monday.
In an Instagram video apparently filmed from his treadmill, the free-agent wide receiver accused the New Orleans Saints of pulling a "publicity stunt" by hosting him for a recent workout.
"I know I got a really crusty tone lately,” Brown says in the video. "But really I’m at peace. I just don’t like the lack of respect in the world. You know, everyone has deadlines. I guess the NFL don’t have a deadline for me.
"I appreciate Sean Payton and them guys for supporting me and bringing me out to work out. But I think it was a publicity stunt for them. Sean Payton know the feeling of being left behind, not being able to interact with his team. I don’t have a team. But it is what it is."

There's an obvious irony with Brown labeling his workout a publicity stunt. For one, he's drawing more publicity to his situation by griping on social media. More importantly, the Saints reportedly told the ex-New England Patriots wide receiver not to bring an entourage to the workout, but he did anyway.
This irony wasn't lost on NFL pundits and Twitter critics, who called out Brown for his hypocrisy.
And finally, our personal favorite:
The Saints didn't sign Brown after his workout and almost certainly won't after his latest outburst, meaning the 31-year-old will be confined to spouting off on social media while New England and New Orleans gear up for the playoffs.
