Football fans are ripping on former wide receiver Antonio Brown over his cruel and insensitive tweet about Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
In the third quarter of Thursday night’s game against the Buffalo Bills, Tua Tagovailoa suffered a concussion after his head made hard contact with Damar Hamlin during a routine tackle attempt.
Tagovailoa was quickly ruled out of the game, forcing the Dolphins to finish the contest with backup Skylar Thompson. The Bills went on to win 31-10 in a lopsided affair, but the Dolphins’ main concern is Tua’s health over the result of last night’s game.
Tua Tagovailoa suffered three concussions during the 2022 season and had to miss five games. Naturally, some fans and prognosticators on social media began to wonder if Tua may end up having to retire after another head injury scare.
As such, you can understand why fans were enraged with Antonio Brown’s tweet that coldly joked about Tagovailoa having CTE:
Fans wasted no time destroying the former Pro Bowl wide receiver for his insensitive tweet on Tua Tagovailoa:
Brown last played in the NFL three seasons ago, but as we’ve all learned, he’ll never stop saying out-of-line things on social media if it means attracting more attention to himself.
Tagovailoa’s night ended with 145 passing yards on 17 completions for one touchdown and three interceptions, including a pick-six. Thompson finished 8-of-14 for 40 yards and no touchdown in the blowout loss.
Dolphins Should Find More QB Depth Behind Tua Tagovailoa
With all due respect to Skylar Thompson, he’s not suited to be a long-term starting quarterback if Tua has to miss time. The Dolphins have too much talent in place and can’t afford another lost season because of lackluster quarterback depth behind Tagovailoa.
Old friend Ryan Tannehill is a potential option for Miami in free agency. Or they could look at trading for an experienced veteran like Joe Flacco, Jameis Winston or Andy Dalton. The bottom line is that GM Chris Grier must act if Tagovailoa misses more time.

Kevin Durant has wrapped up the Paris Olympics in remarkable fashion, becoming the only player in history to win four gold medals in men’s basketball. After returning from injury to lead Team USA, Durant’s performance has fueled high expectations for the Phoenix Suns in the upcoming NBA season.
Amid this success, Durant’s time with the Golden State Warriors has come back into focus, especially through the words of his mother, Wanda Durant. Wanda recently boldly stated that if Team USA’s top scorer had stayed with the Warriors team, they could have dominated the league for years.
“We would’ve had 20 rings by now. And it was about 10 years ago. That’s how cold they were,” Wanda said on the latest episode of TV One’s “Raising Fame.
Durant joined the Warriors in 2016 and quickly made an impact, leading the team to two consecutive championships in 2017 and 2018. However, after the 2018 season, Durant left Golden State and signed with the Brooklyn Nets. He departed after a difficult 2019 NBA Finals, where he suffered a ruptured Achilles while playing against the Toronto Raptors.
