The comments came in a Facebook Live video that Pro Bowl wide receiver Antonio Brown streamed as the team celebrated its win over Kansas City on Sunday. "The language on the video is regrettable, by me and by others. That’s why we go to great lengths to preserve certain moments and interactions between us. As a parent, as a member of the community I take that very seriously. I issue an apology in that regard." Tomlin and the front office are considering punishments for Brown and he indicated that the NFL may punish him as well. It was foolish of him to do that, selfish and inconsiderate. It was violation of our policy and league policy,” Tomlin said. “He’s a great player, respected in the locker room, but incidents such as this don’t help him in that regard.
