Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown singled out Pittsburgh Post-Gazette journalist Ed Bouchette after he reported that the star wide receiver limped off the practice field Monday.
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin confirmed Brown didn't aggravate a quad injury incurred earlier this summer, and the superstar wideout went off on Bouchette via Twitter:
Bro seriously have some respect you making shit up clown https://t.co/SxgHHee7KV

Brown also took umbrage with unsubstantiated claims about his character and what he believed to be false injury claims.
Besides the fact we called in to let them know when I was showing up people say anything on your name these days for the injures late I done seen it all https://t.co/uMYdN5eej4

Brown isn't the only superstar to take issue with the media, as Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey was suspended one preseason game after taking issue with Jacksonville.com reporter Phillip Heilman.
