Steelers’ start upsets Brown

Pittsburgh Steelers star wide receiver Antonio Brown said he doesn’t want to be traded and admitted he’s got to do a better job of limiting distractions going forward.

Brown raised eyebrows in the aftermath of Pittsburgh’s loss to Kansas City last Sunday when he skipped mandatory meetings on Monday for what he called personal reasons.

Brown also responded to criticism on social media by suggesting the team should trade him if it wants to find out how productive he can be when not playing with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.

Brown stressed Thursday he wants to remain with the club and that he’s simply upset because Pittsburgh is winless through two games.

Though the team disciplined Brown for unspecified reasons, Brown said he expects to be on the field at the start of Monday’s game in Tampa Bay.

Beckham is irked: New York Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr. is sick of losing and frustrated with seemingly being asked to take tests every other week by the NFL for performance-enhancers.

Beckham tweeted about the tests Thursday before the Giants (0-2) practiced for Sunday’s game in Houston against the Texans (0-2).

“It’s actually funny how I ‘randomly’ get tested every other week,” Beckham wrote. “Dear @NFL please stop sending these people, ur takin away from meeting times and film… thanks.”

Beckham has never been suspended by the NFL for using a banned substance.

As far as losing, Beckham hasn’t been on the field for a win since the end of the 2016 season. He was hurt in Game 5 last year, breaking his ankle against the Chargers.
