Oakland Raiders wide receiver Antonio Brown is apparently still a hot topic in Pittsburgh.

HBO announced on Wednesday the viewership for the third episode of "Hard Knocks," and it was revealed that ratings in Pittsburgh more than tripled the national average.

The receiver took to Twitter shortly after the news, writing, "My ex still thinks of me."

Brown was one of the top players in recent Pittsburgh Steelers history, but his nine-year run with the team came to a sour end earlier this year.

Following multiple spats with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and a benching in Week 17 for skipping practices, the star wideout was traded to the Raiders in March.
