While it is easy to hate on Antonio Brown following his latest outburst with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, running back Le'Veon Bell isn't doing that. After all, they are good friends and their relationship goes beyond just being teammates.
And so after the Buccaneers completed their comeback victory against the New York Jets sans Brown, Bell quickly sent a text message to the disgraced wide receiver to check on him. The Tampa Bay RB did acknowledge that what AB did was a bad decision, but everyone has such moments.
Le'Veon Bell said he texted Antonio Brown after the game, said he's still one of his closest friends and he can't say anything bad about him. "Obviously, some bad decision-making at times," he said.

Midway through the third quarter of the contest against the Jets, Antonio Brown shocked everyone when he removed his jersey and gears in the sidelines, threw them into the stands and walked off the field and headed to the tunnel while raising a peace sign. According to reports, the 33-year-old was frustrated for his benching—perhaps because he was gunning for his incentives and the benching certainly doesn't help?
Regardless, it was a costly outburst that forced the Buccaneers to cut him from the roster, which is undoubtedly a shocking turn of events given how close the team is to the playoffs.

Hopefully, Le'Veon Bell gets to talk with Brown and help him. With AB no longer part of the Buccaneers as a result of his actions, Bell knows very well it's the time his friend needs him the most.
