First Le’Veon, then Antonio Brown. Has Mike Tomlin lost his locker room?
Initially reported by Ed Bouchette and Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Steelers star wide receiver, Antonio Brown, did not show up to practice today. This latest bit of drama comes on the heels of Brown being visibly upset during his team’s 42-37 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday and firing off a tweet asking to be traded just yesterday.
Between the issues surrounding Le’Veon Bell’s contract-based refusal to take part in team activities, and Mike Tomlin’s focus on acquiring a new punter, one has to wonder just what kind of circus is going on in the Pittsburgh locker room.
Nation, what are your takeaways from this? What moves can the Lions make to preemptively avoid this happening to them?

Matt Patricia has ‘weak’ message for Detroit Lions’ fans
When the Detroit Lions hired Matt Patricia as their next head coach, the hope was that the team would finally take the next step forward and contend for a Super Bowl. Now, to be fair, not very many thought that would happen this season, but a playoff appearance would be nice.
Unfortunately, the Lions are off to a 0-2 start and they have struggled in all three phases of the game. Patricia, himself, has made mistakes and some have even suggested he is in over his head.
The frustration of Lions’ fans is at an all-time high and it seems to grow stronger as each week goes by. To be fair, the team has never even been to a Super Bowl and their lack of playoff success is embarrassing.
On Monday, Patricia spoke to the media and he made an attempt to address the fans’ frustration in the team.
