Count Fox Sports analyst and Hall of Fame tight end Shannon Sharpe among those who think Oakland Raiders wide receiver Antonio Brown has been embarrassing himself all summer.
On Undisputed on Friday Morning, Sharpe commented on the recent incident with Brown and Raiders general manager Mike Mayock, saying that Brown is completely at fault and that he is going to have his contract voided:
"There is no two sides to this story…The Raiders are going to suspend Antonio Brown. They're going to void that $30M. He just cost himself $30M. Given who he is, I knew there was no way that they were making it two years. This is embarrassing."

Brown was upset over a $54,000 fine he received from the Raiders, a penalty for missing time during training camp.
He then got into a heated dispute with Mayock in practice on Wednesday and to be restrained. Oakland reportedly plans to suspend Brown, and there has been some talk that the club could void the $30.125 guaranteed in his contract.
The Raiders acquired Brown back in March in a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers, sending a third-round draft pick and a fifth-rounder to the Steelers in exchange for the wide receiver.
Now, Oakland may end up regretting it.
Whether it was Brown having frostbite on his feet or apparently threatening retirement if the NFL did not allow him to wear his now-banned helmet, Brown has been at the center of numerous controversies throughout the offseason.
However, up until Wednesday, it never reached a point where there was friction between Brown and the Raiders, but after the confrontation between Brown and Mayock, both sides may now be at the point of no return.
Brown spent the first nine seasons of his NFL career in Pittsburgh, earning seven Pro Bowl appearances.
