Former Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown, who after short stints with the Raiders and Patriots last summer is amid rape and sexual a sault allegations against him, agreed to appear on in Pittsburgh on Thursday morning for a wide-ranging interview.And a wide-ranging interview, it was.MORE: Brown began the interview in an apologetic tone, similar to when he sat down with ESPN's Josina Anderson last week, when he said he owed "the whole NFL an apology" for his past behavior. (He also recentlyposted an apology on Instagram to the Hollywood Police Department about three weeks after he at officers who responded to a domestic dispute between Brown and the mother of his five children, and a week after he stemming from a dispute with the driver of a moving truck.)On Thursday, the 31-year-old apologized to the Steelers, coach Mike Tomlin, general manager Kevin Colbert and quarterback Ben Roethlisbergerfor the rocky ending to his tenure in Pittsburgh."I apologize to Scottie Upshall Jersey those guys for the distractions, the unwanted attention I probably caused those guys," Brown said. "I'm forever grateful andindebted to the Steelers organization."Added Brown on Roethlisberger:"I just think too much stuff built up.It was too late. Do I hate Ben? No. Do I love Ben? Yes. Ben's a great guy, great person, great QB. All the disappointment and frustration we had could have been hashed out. But we let ego and emotions get involved."Brown, though, wasn't as apologetic to another ex-Steelers teammate, fellow wide receiverJuJu Smith Rasmus Ristolainen Jersey -Schuster. The two last spring after Brown had forced a trade from the Steelers to the Raiders. It started when the 23-year-old posted a picture of himself scoring against Oakland, with Brown notably in the background.Im Ready... JuJu Smith-Schuster (@TeamJuJu) Emotion: boy fumbled the whole post season in the biggest game of year ! Everyone went blind to busy making guys famous not enough reality these days ! by the way check the list AB (@AB84) Crazy how big that ego got to be to take shots at people who show you love! Smh JuJu Smith-Schuster (@TeamJuJu) MORE ANTONIO BROWN:All it took was a mention of the feud with Smith-Schuster not even a Ray Bourque Jersey question from show hostJim Colony to spark a rant from AB. Below is what he had to say:"Yeah but listen. I never said anything about JuJu. ... The problem is, when (youre) Antonio Brown and you become this big guy in this big spot, its like, someone comes at me negative, I cant even come back at him. JuJu Smith-Schuster was a young guy who (told me) when he was in college so much how he looked up to me, so much how he wanted to work with me. And then you get a chance to work with me, you have your best season ever, Im about to leave and you post a picture of you scoring a touchdown against the team that Im going, saying, you ready?"Thats a form of disrespect. You know what I mean? ... Were talking about a young guy that came into the league who looked up to Antonio Brown and wanted to be the next Antonio Brown. And these guys started to see what Antonio Browns like. And then they want to be Antonio Brown. ... People want to be the guy who makes the big plays and the guy who gets the stats. So when you see a guy like JuJu, a guy you took under your wing and showed so much respect ..."Even from guys like Hines Ward when I used to play. Hines Ward didnt show me the respect I needed or gave me the positivity or the support I needed. Ive never been to his house. I never studied plays with him. I never went over how to win and get open and how to do this right or how to do this. I gave (JuJu) all the positive cheat codes and all the stuff to be succe sful. And to watch a guy call me out when Im moving forward I just think people gotta show more respect and be more considerate to others. And I got to learn Trevor Linden Jersey not to let people who come at me negative react, because Im a leader. Whatever I do is going to be magnified times 10. Patrik Nemeth Jersey "So theres no beef. I dont have nothing against JuJu Smith-Schuster. Why would I? Im who he (wants) to be. Im in a position that hes striving to be in. The only thing I want to do is encourage people and show people its all about respect to me. I just think that people just twist it and turn it to make it seem like Im coming at the people. I have nothing to really come at the people about. You want to call AB out? You better set your standards high like ABs, because if theyre not, someone needs to tell them. And I think thats the problem with the country these days. These young kids have no one to tell them the truth. JuJu Smith-Schuster run around here with 500 yards, and everyones thinking like hes the world. The Steelers didnt make the playoffs; that is a problem."But let me go back to Instagram. Everyone (wants) to be cool, no respect. Everyones just clout-chasing, and mention someones name to get on. So me, Im just here to give you real examples and give people the mentality of Antonio Brown because is seems like Im always pinned as the negative guy. I dont know why people put me in boxes all the time."MORE AB:Brown also was asked about his mental state considering the alarming twists in his life of late. He insisted he's "good.""Everyone got an agenda from what they want to get from me or what they can make off me, so it's good to be around and talk to people that dont have no agenda that can just support your mental health and listen to you," said Joffrey Lupul Jersey Brown, suggesting he is seeing a therapist.Brown also suggested there is no timeline for the conclusion of the NFL's investigation. The league is looking into evens that led toa civil lawsuit filed in September in the Southern District of Florida in which Brownwas accused of exploitation, sexual a sault and rape.Audio of Brown'sentire, 23-minute interview Thursday can be heard .
