Antonio Brown Receives the Highest Honor a Man Can Be Awarded: The Tom Brady Selfie

The Tom Brady selfie. Is there a simpler, more certain way to know you’ve arrived? That you are now a Patriot. That whatever issues your former employer had with you are now over. That you are in a place where all that matters is putting in your work, being prepared, doing your job, and winning. In short, that you have finally made it to professional football.

And so Antonio Brown gets to follow in the proud footsteps of James Harrison.

For sure, Harrison also left a lot of bitterness in his wake when he was let go in Pittsburgh only to come to New England. People felt betrayed. Jerseys were burned by morons for the entertainment of simpletons. But Deebo didn’t listen to the noise. He came to Foxboro, became an integral part of the team and helped get them to a Super Bowl. And it all started with being befriended by the GOAT, a moment captured and preserved forever on Instagram.

And now history repeats itself. Maybe going forward Brown will post a thousand pictures of his insane workouts, accupuncture and suction cup treatments, videos of him lifting up five ton barbells and bottle after bottle of protein powders. But for now, it’s just about connecting with his quarterback. The only differences in the two pictures are the new faces and the fact that Brady somehow looks ten years younger instead of two years older.

Anyway, Brown is now officially in the business of winning a seventh ring for Brady. And business is #Boomin.
