Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown’s no less happy at the officials he believes cost him a touchdown.
But he at least deleted the swearing at them.
Brown posted “F---ing refs,” next to a picture of his feet apparently in bounds on his Twitter page, has since deleted it, and come back with an even better reply.
“Apologies for cursing the refs but dang,” the latest message reads, while Kermit the Frog looks at a picture of Browns feet, clearly in bounds.
“When you’re passionate about something, you speak your mind,” Brown said on his radio show on 970 ESPN, via Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Dean Blandino, the league’s head of officials, maintained the call was correct.
“Touchdowns are hard to come by in the NFL,” Brown said. “That would have given us a two-touchdown lead and made it harder for [the Texans].”
What might be even harder is the realization that swearing at the refs isn’t going to make him any richer, and might make it harder to get a call next time.
