Former Packers Fan Favorite TJ Lang Tweets Eye-Opening Response to Raiders' Antonio Brown Drama
By Adam Weinrib
We knew NFL players would have strong feelings about Antonio Brown's latest insurgency, but we didn't know it would come this swiftly and publicly.
Hey, I guess that's the benefit of retirement, though. The time to speak your mind is always now.
TJ Lang, long-time Packers offensive lineman and more recently a member of the Lions prior to retirement, voiced his thoughts on Twitter about Brown's latest cuttable antics, and he didn't put a gag order on himself by any means.
This is incredible. I think we are seeing AB finally be held accountable for the first time in his career and he simply can’t handle it. Total diva. https://t.co/mOtV2oZIsk

Among fellow players, media, and fans, Lang certainly isn't the only one that holds this opinion. He's just bold enough to put it out on social media without delay.
Of course...AB IS a diva! That much has always been known. But it does make you wonder if he's especially wild these days, or if 2019's incidents are simply a reminder of just how much Mike Tomlin and the Steelers allowed him to get away with prior to his departure.
Jon Gruden declined to answer questions on Antonio Brown and said the team will have “an announcement” later.

Say what you will about Mike Mayock's regime, but the Raiders GM did not come here to placate big names. Held accountable, indeed.
