“Cracker Of The Day”: Antonio Brown Mocks Skip Bayless After Bill Belichick UNC-TCU Take Goes Wrong

Antonio Brown, former NFL wide receiver, recently took a shot at sports columnist Skip Bayless after one of his recent predictions went disastrously wrong. Bayless tweeted from his X account that the TCU Horned Frogs will lose abysmally to the UNC Tar Heels. However, the columnist was forced to eat his words soon after when UNC lost abysmally to TCU.

While the UNC Tar Heels were predicted to do very well in the season opener with their new head coach, Bill Belichick, it looks like the team was over-hyped. UNC lost with an embarrassing 48-14 final score, with quarterback Max Johnson managing a single touchdown, while running back Caleb Hood added another score.

“TCU is about to get blown out. Too much MJ, LT. About to get Mossed,” Skip Bayless predicted about the UNC vs. TCU season-opener.

“Cracker of the day,” Antonio Brown responded to Skip Bayless’ tweet from his X account.

Antonio Brown was of course not the only one who called out Bayless’ wrong prediction of the UNC vs. TCU game. While UNC did of course struggle throughout the game, the TCU Horned Frogs were spectacular with quarterback Josh Hoover completing 27 passes out of 36 attempts with a pair of touchdowns.

Antonio Brown Calls Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen Homophobic Slur

Antonio Brown is known for his many controversial remarks on basically everyone, including NFL players. Sometime back, Brown called Buffalo Bills starting quarterback Josh Allen a homophobic slur, after it was reported that he owns several acres of nut farms in California. A report shared that Allen and his family own at least a thousand acres of farmland which produce various nuts, including pistachios.

This is not the first homophobic slur that Antonio Brown has dropped as of late. Before he shared the tweet about Buffalo Bills quarterback, Josh Allen, Brown also called the new Minnesota Vikings male cheerleader, Louie Conn, the same homophobic slur.

Brown also dropped a cryptic tweet about protecting children from the trans community. While his tweet was definitely called out, many felt that the wide receiver’s tweet came as a result of the latest shooting in Minneapolis by a trans shooter. The shooter killed two children and injured many others as they were worshiping in a church in a special mass service which marks the beginning of the new school year.
