Memphis Ten-a-key I tell my husband that all the time. After watching a video my husband always comments on how good FlemLo is. I’m not a big fan of talking heads. Most get on my last nerve and it’s good we don’t have SLAP VISION yet because when one goes off on a holier than thou rant about a player I would be slapping their face off. But I could listen to FL everyday. He gets in depth on these young men’s lives not just focusing on their athletic talent but the trials they have gone through, about their hearts. He cares. It’s refreshing in these times.
TEAM CLASSIC SONIC Ah yes, the New England Gear Grinder, I heard he was Edelman’s mentor during his rookie year. It’s a shame how he just vanished from the league.
@@jakeredmond382 ryan clark said he was a terrible person and he was his teammate for years. Ever since AB was a rookie, that was long before a Burfict hit ever came along. People letting him get away with everything created a monster.
Shannon Sharpe: "Money doesn't change you, it makes you more of what you really are" AB got guaranteed dollars in Pittsburgh and revealed his true colours.
As a physician myself, I agree with you but I think there is an important additional point to make. I have seen some of the videos by physicians that you are referring to where they say that you cannot necessarily call this CTE. I do understand their point, and while I personally suspect that AB has some degree of CTE, that really doesn't even matter. In an interview with AB sometime after the hit, he states that he did in fact lose consciousness for a period of time immediately following the hit. In the medical field, a traumatic blow to the head resulting in loss of consciousness is by definition considered to be at least a Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). It is very well known that TBI's can very well result in a variety of symptoms such as impulsivity, personality changes, mood disorders, etc. To address the point that some people bring up that he was like this in the past, it is also important to point out that people with premorbid behavioral problems who sustain a TBI can very much have these issues amplified as a result.
Wouldnt surprise me if he if he had borderline or bi polar tendencies/ traits before that were amplified after brain trauma. He obviously has gone through many stages of mania type behaviour with suttle crashes here or there. Wish the guy the best in his career and moreso his mental health and relationships going forward.
When I recorded my video with AB for M19, dude was all over the place lol. I don't think I can legally say all of the wild stuff he did in the brief period that I met him, but something was definitely off
Lol something was off because he was cloned. That’s not the AB we know. MK ultra is a known mind control procedure & for that to happen a part of their hair has to be turned blonde and little do we know..his moustache became blonde then ever since shit really hit the fan. Look into it.
Dude....I love how flemlo puts in the work for his theories. Even delving into graphic novel lore. From a comic book reader AND huge football fan, MUCH RESPECT
How timely to revisit this, I've getting texts from people hating on AB after the indent at the Jets game. All I do is send them the link to this video for understanding. I think Tom Brady comments today after the game reflect that there's much more to this story than we realize and I hope AB can get the help he needs.
I am born and raised in Pittsburgh. I’m still here. I covered the nfl during AB but moved to the nhl during the Penguins back to back Cup runs in 2016/2017. Ohhh the AB stories Pittsburgh media has but hasn’t put in writing are some of the most interesting lol.
for real he just a straight up hater.. Can't stand to see other people do better then him especially team mates!! No real baller that loves the sport is gonna hate on a teammate for balling out, real ballers wanna see everyone ball out especially his teammates especially if they winning!
I did to but it didn’t turn out well I was going to a Ohio state game and bought my ticket on SeatGeek and had actually good seats but was denied entry to the game because on another website someone bought the same exact seat and yeah I unfortunately wasn’t able to go to the game but I got a full refund plus some extra money back. SeatGeek although they made me miss a game they were great by giving me a full refund plus extra money for the trouble.
SUPER smart! Well thought out. Great Video man💯 I’m not gonna lie, I was one of those people who use to call AB a clown but after watching your video I feel like I understand him a little bit better. (Not completely, but a little bit better)
@@adgee5401 yeah u can't do one without the other. That's like Cadillac William's and Ronnie Brown for Auburn. I remember I used to play with Minnesota like crazy on NCAA football when Maroney and Barber were both there and I'm a Florida Gator fan. Lmao!!
Michael Hunziker He was a beast for a while though. One of the hardest runners I’ve ever watched. Wouldn’t be surprised if he had CTE either now that I think about it...
I watched the original documentary about the cte issues, and it effects the frontal lobe aka decision making. It’s like a super duper coke head who been daily using for 20years.. not even 20yr coke problem can fuck with CTE.
That ring n touchdown cool n all but I still would be sick about that 39 million that was guaranteed from Oakland literally 1 day before it was all guaranteed 😂😂 just saying
Man I always liked Antonio Brown and was super happy when he came to the Raider! Just sad really. Mental illness is serious and some people see it from a different point of view. He never hit a woman he wasn’t a drug addict he just dealing with stuff no one knows about but are quick to judge. Glad he finally got a ring tho and got back to what he loves!
Its crazy flemlo is a legend he makes the best football stories and says it in a way that touches my heart and it’s really enjoyable to watch and good luck a the channal
He doesn’t have to have CTE for a head injury to effect his personality, mental health, and behavior. ONE concussion in life, increases the likelihood of mental health problems (depression, anxiety, psychosis, sleep disturbances, hyper/hypo-sexuality, etc) I’m a doctor BTW, and have worked a lot of years in traumatic brain injury recovery units. Now, we don’t know how many other concussions AB has had in his football career. Likely, he has had others. We can’t say for sure though. It only takes ONE. I’ve had concussions, all in my youth.....2 definite KO situations. I suffered from insomnia as a teen and depression, which may/may not be linked.....but it did happen. Doesn’t mean they are the cause, but those incidents did make those issues more likely. Everyone’s brain is different. Trauma, either physical or emotional, can unlock psychological issues that are just underneath the surface. Everyone’s issues can be different, and everyone’s threshold is different. This is why EVERYONE, kids and adults, whether biking, skating, or whatever....should always wear a helmet. It is so dumb not to. One injury can CHANGE YOUR LIFE forever. I’ve seen families devastated by traumatic brain injury. I’ve seen intelligent mild-mannered young people, turn into hyper-aggressive, violent, hyper-sexualized....just a dramatic personality change, and it so hard for the family to understand why their son or daughter, is now “a completely different person”. Its very sad when its severe. Not severe enough to cause permanent physical and cognitive disability, but severe enough to keep then from getting a job, having a family, and enjoying life. Wear your goddamn helmet!!!! Don’t care if your kid is scootering or hover boarding.....they don’t need to be going fast....always wear a helmet. Adults bicycling? YES!!! Its not random bike accidents that are the primary concern, but rather drivers who are on their phones. Again, I’ve seen devastating injuries from car on bike accidents with no helmet involved.
So can I blame my shitty personality, steady decline into drug addiction and inability to hold down a job because some days I just don't feel like showing up, on the concussions I took? I mean before my concussions I was doing well and on my way to being "successful".
Sam okay dude.....where did I ever say that the concussion had everything to do with the helmet? Is English your first language? I cannot believe how dumb people are sometimes, which is why I never comment on this crap. You’re literally nit-picking my comment, hoping to correct me and get some living in mom’s basement thrill. OF COURSE concussions occur with football helmets. Never said they didn’t. What I said, was people should wear helmets more often, when doing other activities, to prevent brain injury, including concussion. Your statement that helmets ONLY prevent skull fracture is false. Yes, two 250 pound men running full speed into each other is going to cause a concussion with or without a helmet. People on bicycles, skates, skateboards, whatever.....simply the act of falling backwards onto the concrete, a helmet can most certainly prevent concussion. I personally have a close friend, who now needs 24 hour care, because she was hit by a car on her bicycle on the way home from work. No helmet, no skull fracture.....she now operates at about a 4 to 5 year old cognitive level. She has two children, and a husband, and its AWFUL. Had she worn a helmet, would she have sustained brain injury? Considering the severity, its very possible, but most certainly would have been nowhere near as severe. You watched a football documentary on CTE. I went to school until I was 30. I’m talking about brain injury in general, not just football. BTW, you can sustain skull fracture even with a helmet on. I’ve seen a guy who was riding his motorcycle at 120mph, and came up behind a truck going 50mph. He put his helmeted head through the back gate of the truck bed at a speed of 70mph, sustaining an open skull fracture. I don’t know what came of him, but he survived his surgery.
i said the same thing about taken that hit from the bengals game I think he has CTE we dont know how many hits he took when he was younger but i feel that may have been the deciding blow
Who’s here after he got cut from the Bucs? And who’s looking forward to an update? Bc we need this sort of perspective in the conversation about AB today.
I think I should take this time to remind everyone that Peter Griffin has a longer career with the Patriots and scored more points (touchdown and field goal).
thank you flemlo I needed a video to fully breakdown his life. it's crazy when things like this happen I think of you bruh. good work. can I get a link to your lofi playlist please
I completely agree with Flemlo Raps about that hit that Antonio Brown suffered. His entire personality changed afterwards. I'm not a neurologist, but with all the news about CTE, it makes you wonder.
Hey Flem love your content i just have a small request for one of these videos for the future could you possibly do what happened to Jim Harbaugh? Because idk if you noticed it but i think his balls where some how misplaced and now are missing & he has been atrocious at Michigan thanks flem! Big fan
This video came across my feed and it’s funny that I’ve been thinking about that hit the whole time through all of this and your the only other person to bring it up.
I am 70 years old, and have damaged in my front part of the brain. for the last ten years I have slowly decline in my short term memory and motor skills . My mood will change and I have now accepted my limitations. But I also hav e a great support system . My wife and family keep me centered but in browns case it can manifest in many forms. It could very well be from the hit but generally it takes many hits over time to start to show. He needs someone he can trust that will set him down and give him strait talk. But the bottom line it get worse over time and there is no cure. Funny thing is if I could do it all over, I would still play, I just love the game. Ps your MRI will show damage in the front part of the brain which you can do things to help
M B you still cant say for certain someone has it until they pass ab might just be mad because juju was better than him. lmao i. dont think thats the actual reason and im not saying he doesnt have cte im just sayin you cant diagnose it till after death
@Olly Tropics I wouldn't say he has ZERO symptoms but he does have very few. If you wanna look at a former NFL player that has the signs of schizophrenia then check out Tre Mason.
Great video, As a Pittsburgh Steeler fan all my life and AB, I came to the same conclusions. I thought at first it was money and a ploy to get to N.E. but he blew that too! I think he has CTE. Sad.
God please help this man as soon as possible. Not so we can see him play again, but so he can be at peace. He is obviously dealing with something, and it needs resolution.
As a Steeler fan this is a great summation. I mean AB was one of the great Steelers receivers ever and possibly one of the best of all time in the NFL. He was always definitely a primadonna of sorts but after the Burfict hit he went totally off the rails. Yeah correlation doesn't always equal causation but you gotta wonder in this case. For real great analysis my man and your videos are on totally lit for me.
Nick Ortega I'm completely apathetic. Much similar to how you don't give Aaron Hernandez a pass for murder because he had severe CTE, you don't give AB a pass for being, well, AB, even if it's discovered he has CTE.
@@puck4787 I agree. Pray for him. But don't make excuses for him either. When ppl make excuses for others they tend to use those excuses as their reason for not changing.
New to ur channel and two weeks or so into ur content, and it was this video which displayed the brilliance of ur perspective. Whether right or wrong, I respect and appreciate the way u see things, and I’m entertained by the way u present them
Yo Flem - might be time to start lookin into law school bro. At the start of this vid, i was pretty skeptical about "the Killing Joke Defense"(great comic btw). But by the end, you had me convinced. That's when i realized - considering your channel's content, and your efficacy for defending the character of your subjects: you should seriously consider legal defense. You're a smart cat and if you put the time into getting the prerequisites - you could make the jump from commenting on these athlete's personal lives, to defending their lives in a courtroom setting.
Yeah, I’d honestly agree with this. Being a great lawyer involves a solid amount of empathy, perspective taking, attention to detail and skilled storytelling. Flem really does tick all these boxes, based on what I’ve seen.
No team, Pittsburgh or otherwise, could hide well the behavior that happened at the end of 2018, if ir preceeded that time. That's where Flemlo and I agree as to when the behavior manifested. He was a flamboyant well liked guy. He didn't become a bad dude till after 2018.
I think it’s partying and blow. Literally same thing happened to me- at the same age. I partied down- still was productive as hell at work...and then I hit 30- didn’t think I had a blow problem. Started doing it more- weeknights...going to work after an hour of sleep...stopped doing everything I needed to at work...etc. I think he was up through the night- slept thru practice a couple of times until he knew there were no excuses. Started blaming problems on other things- got a fresh start...kept doing blow- one thing led to another.... I dunno... I’m convinced tho
@@thellama3239 dont ever apologize. Act like it was fuckin awesome and roll over like you just rocked her world. Eventually she'll associate your confidence with her gratification and wont notice.
Thank you so much for your research for this case. It is very well put together and I learned a few things I didn't know. I am looking forward to watching all of your videos. Keep up the excellent work.
regardless of the situation, if it's not a brain injury I pray that he gets his act together, and if it is a brain injury I pray that science catches up and can repair the damage so he can get back to a successful life.
FlemLo Raps just seems like a good dude. Never bashes anybody, just explains the history, the connections, and the logic behind them.
Yeah man I totally agree!

100% agree

LMAO from a Bengals fan, that's the most annoying and accurate saying.
Antonio Brown is still setting records, he is the only Diva in NFL history to have 3 different team Jerseys on the clearance rack in the same year
Jeff Herron could be 4 some say he might sign with the Saints
T.O. had 4 once at a hibbit sports I went to, Bills, Cowboy's, Eagles, and 49ers. His Bengals jersey was full price though.
Randy Moss had 3 at once lol possibly 4 if raiders jerseys were still hanging around
@Zachary Odom they would be stupid to sign AB. They already have a great team. Bringing in a player with character issues makes zero sense.

i said the same thing about taken that hit from the bengals game I think he has CTE we dont know how many hits he took when he was younger but i feel that may have been the deciding blow
I, too, believe the Burfict hit is the turning point in AB's life. All we can do is pray for him.
Bruh you are so right!!! Hell of a video!!! One of the best videos ever put out on youtube! This is the definition of quality content
Who’s here after he got cut from the Bucs? And who’s looking forward to an update? Bc we need this sort of perspective in the conversation about AB today.
AB: used to think my life was a tragedy, but now I realize it's a comedy
Uzumaki Clan 7798 just watched this movie 🍿 it was good
Bruh, The Joker is a better human than AB. 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
I dunno, the Joker once cut off his own face just to staple it back on.
... we're just giving AB ideas now, aren't we?
He started less shit to
“And once that happened I was like okay-“. *Uber ad plays*
I absolutely love the analogies you use when you are trying to make people understand!
Been binging your videos lately. Great stuff. Really enjoy. But wheres the Le'veon bell video.
I think I should take this time to remind everyone that Peter Griffin has a longer career with the Patriots and scored more points (touchdown and field goal).
thank you flemlo I needed a video to fully breakdown his life. it's crazy when things like this happen I think of you bruh. good work. can I get a link to your lofi playlist please
Hi
Next video should be Peter Warrick, it should fit since you’re a bengals fan👍
Awesome work Flemo, true work of art as usual, this video is oozing with research.
I completely agree with Flemlo Raps about that hit that Antonio Brown suffered. His entire personality changed afterwards. I'm not a neurologist, but with all the news about CTE, it makes you wonder.
Flem. You just made my informative speech for class a whole lot easier
Very nicely put my friend you could be right but like you said we'll never really know
Hey Flem love your content i just have a small request for one of these videos for the future could you possibly do what happened to Jim Harbaugh? Because idk if you noticed it but i think his balls where some how misplaced and now are missing & he has been atrocious at Michigan thanks flem! Big fan
This video came across my feed and it’s funny that I’ve been thinking about that hit the whole time through all of this and your the only other person to bring it up.
You have a good point about that hit. I have been following you for 5 months and you are doing a good job
Almost time for another AB update. Dude lands on his feet again
And he got a ring
@@spencerroberson4780 aaaand now he got in a fight at training camp and Brady of all people had to talk to him about it. The AB cycle continues...
PSA: If a black man dye his hair blonde he going through something
OBJ?
@@mrafeial maybe not Odell. But Kanye, Chris Brown
XXXTentacion 🤔 he was at least half way gone
Dennis Rodman
@@jamesbryant3482 you didn’t hear? Odell pays women to poo on his chest.
I am 70 years old, and have damaged in my front part of the brain. for the last ten years I have slowly decline in my short term memory and motor skills . My mood will change and I have now accepted my limitations. But I also hav e a great support system . My wife and family keep me centered but in browns case it can manifest in many forms. It could very well be from the hit but generally it takes many hits over time to start to show. He needs someone he can trust that will set him down and give him strait talk. But the bottom line it get worse over time and there is no cure. Funny thing is if I could do it all over, I would still play, I just love the game. Ps your MRI will show damage in the front part of the brain which you can do things to help
JAKE GUS rude
@JAKE GUS
Go back to hell, Jake Gus the troll.
I'm sorry to hear that. I hope things work out for you
I love a good story and you tell even a better one! Don't change anything, your great that would you do!
Thank you so much for bringing this up, Flem! The Aaron Hernandez findings were pretty damning.
“Around this point AD even begins to look like the joker..” 😂😂😂 im soooo dead bro
Having an altercation is one thing.
Having an altercation so bad that you're expelled from the school is a different matter.
It's not hard to get expelled from school
@@bamaboitube8572 for a scholarship athlete it kinda is. Basically he beat the security guard up
Wow! Who’s here in 2022 thinking this is a current video!?!
Very nice vid, that's all I can say. Style reminds me of other channels I enjoy, also that lofi hip hop in the background is very nice.
Really been enjoying your videos. God bless. And sorry about the Bengals this year.
Sounds like he was out of control even in high school of his parents kicked him out b4 he was even 18.
I just lost 50 brain cells
TooMuchLean that was tough to read lol
The words "because" and "kicking" woulda helped.
@Tyler Bolen sadly I think its the latter.
Pretty sure it was cause his mom was insane
He either got CTE Or Schizophrenia because dude is tripping 🤦🏾♂️
LavishShawn you cant tell if someone has CTE till after theyre dead
Matt Cary but you can tell by the symptoms butt nugget
M B you still cant say for certain someone has it until they pass ab might just be mad because juju was better than him. lmao i. dont think thats the actual reason and im not saying he doesnt have cte im just sayin you cant diagnose it till after death
after life*
@Olly Tropics I wouldn't say he has ZERO symptoms but he does have very few. If you wanna look at a former NFL player that has the signs of schizophrenia then check out Tre Mason.
We need a Part 2 of this.
FlemLo is honestly one of the most eloquent storytellers on UA-cam. Always love his stories and he definitely thinks outside the box
Like the cat analogy was perfect haha
Great video, As a Pittsburgh Steeler fan all my life and AB, I came to the same conclusions. I thought at first it was money and a ploy to get to N.E. but he blew that too! I think he has CTE. Sad.
God please help this man as soon as possible. Not so we can see him play again, but so he can be at peace. He is obviously dealing with something, and it needs resolution.
As a Steeler fan this is a great summation. I mean AB was one of the great Steelers receivers ever and possibly one of the best of all time in the NFL. He was always definitely a primadonna of sorts but after the Burfict hit he went totally off the rails. Yeah correlation doesn't always equal causation but you gotta wonder in this case. For real great analysis my man and your videos are on totally lit for me.
People laugh at him. I’m praying for him
Nick Ortega Amen !!
Nick Ortega
I'm completely apathetic. Much similar to how you don't give Aaron Hernandez a pass for murder because he had severe CTE, you don't give AB a pass for being, well, AB, even if it's discovered he has CTE.
Rob Gonz all the more reason to pray for him. Seems to have led himself astray and needs some guidance.
@@puck4787 I agree. Pray for him. But don't make excuses for him either. When ppl make excuses for others they tend to use those excuses as their reason for not changing.
Ya that SI artical was unnecessary and the cruelest thing I've seen in sports. They new it would bury him.
love your quality of work and research. and your unbiasedness (? not sure its a word).
keep it up my brother
Dude these what happened videos are so good keep em coming
Me: knock knock
Flemlo: who’s there
Me: Owen
Flemlo: Owen who?
Me: 0-3 bengals
He predicted a 8-8 season too lol
Nice
0-4 now :(
Lol
O-6 NOW
Did AB run around screaming "I'm free" after the Pats released him
He did that after the Raiders released him
He did that after the Raiders released him.
Ex Patriots seem like cult survivors with stockholm syndrome.
Vontae Burfict knocked his brain out of reality
I thought this was new since it just popped up on my recommendations. Definitely needs a follow up.
New to ur channel and two weeks or so into ur content, and it was this video which displayed the brilliance of ur perspective. Whether right or wrong, I respect and appreciate the way u see things, and I’m entertained by the way u present them
Yo Flem - might be time to start lookin into law school bro. At the start of this vid, i was pretty skeptical about "the Killing Joke Defense"(great comic btw). But by the end, you had me convinced. That's when i realized - considering your channel's content, and your efficacy for defending the character of your subjects: you should seriously consider legal defense. You're a smart cat and if you put the time into getting the prerequisites - you could make the jump from commenting on these athlete's personal lives, to defending their lives in a courtroom setting.
the503CreepOut at this point he will make more money on UA-cam in the next 20 years than most lawyers could ever dream, but yes he’d be a great lawyer
Yeah, I’d honestly agree with this. Being a great lawyer involves a solid amount of empathy, perspective taking, attention to detail and skilled storytelling. Flem really does tick all these boxes, based on what I’ve seen.
Antonio Brown has always been a knucklehead.. its just that it's out now. Pittsburgh hid it well. He is not a good dude.
@Omor Igiehon totally agree 💚
This man is a victim of an intentional brain injury. Burfict should be held accountable. And I don’t mean being suspended without pay.
No team, Pittsburgh or otherwise, could hide well the behavior that happened at the end of 2018, if ir preceeded that time. That's where Flemlo and I agree as to when the behavior manifested. He was a flamboyant well liked guy. He didn't become a bad dude till after 2018.
I just got a Joker ad lol.
Me too.
You are doing a great job, man.
Keep going.
I love all the interesting content and how you always try to make every story a lession.
You do some really great work.. awesome storytelling.. you are entertaining!!
Can you please recap College Football!!! Seriously, please.
Yes!
All for this
I'm here for it
I think it’s partying and blow. Literally same thing happened to me- at the same age. I partied down- still was productive as hell at work...and then I hit 30- didn’t think I had a blow problem. Started doing it more- weeknights...going to work after an hour of sleep...stopped doing everything I needed to at work...etc. I think he was up through the night- slept thru practice a couple of times until he knew there were no excuses. Started blaming problems on other things- got a fresh start...kept doing blow- one thing led to another.... I dunno... I’m convinced tho
When you're early but dont know that to comment
K. Dot whenever I come early I usually just say “sorry”
@@thellama3239 dont ever apologize. Act like it was fuckin awesome and roll over like you just rocked her world. Eventually she'll associate your confidence with her gratification and wont notice.
FlemLo thinks his slick commenting as his Alter-Ego. We all know you’re Kendrick FelmLo
Yall killing me lmao
Yo flemlo I’m a Steelers fan but your one of my favorite youtubers but I love your videos and I respect you very much man keep up the good work
Aye FlemLo this needs a pt.2 just like Superbowl Lenny. Plz man that would be wildd
O boy this is gonna be a good one 🔥
Bruh the OBVIOUS ANSWER is....
-the madden curse-
I think that hit messed him up big time tbh
Thank you so much for your research for this case. It is very well put together and I learned a few things I didn't know. I am looking forward to watching all of your videos. Keep up the excellent work.
Fam I’m really enjoying your channel keep up the great work peace!
That moment when you realized that Antonio Brown and JJ Watt (Transfer to Wisconsin) were once teammates at Central Michigan 😲😲😲
Dudes work ethic was on a whole other level. Just thought I’d point that out lol
regardless of the situation, if it's not a brain injury I pray that he gets his act together, and if it is a brain injury I pray that science catches up and can repair the damage so he can get back to a successful life.
Im glad you cleared up that AB is nothing like everyones favorite joker!
Sounds like a need a part 2! To this story after the super bowl!
my boy playing for the bucs now
