How was your weekend? I and my dog were attacked by a pit bull mutt dog.
After all, Brown bucked the odds and made it out of the Miami surbanscape -- where he was born and raised -- going on to become a star receiver at Central Michigan. From there, he was forced to again prove himself after being selected with the No. 195 overall pick -- the 22nd of 27 wide receivers in his draft class -- by the Pittsburgh Steelers, and was viewed by many as undersized at the position. He'd buck the odds yet again, though, going on to dominate at the NFL level. Brown delivered an eye-popping 8,210 receiving yards and 50 touchdowns from 2011 through 2016. He landed a four-year, $68 million in February 2017 for his efforts.
He'd go on to add another 1,533 receiving yards and nine touchdowns to his resume in 2017, but the air around him that once smelled fragrant was rapidly souring -- deteriorating to the point where the usually forgiving and player-centric Steelers began to notice a tinge of mustard gas. Fast forward a bit to the 2018 season, and despite hitting the 10,000-yard mark for his career, headlines surrounding Brown were about anything but that achievement. It's now September 2019 and Brown's NFL legacy currently reads as the polar opposite of the once inspirational story it was, but more like a cautionary tale for all who would heed it.
It was supposed to be a grand time in the city of Pittsburgh after Brown caught six passes for 108 yards to help push the Steelers past the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Divisional Round in an 18-16 nailbiter. Instead, the story became what happened next in the locker room following the win. Brown pulled out his phone and live-streamed the locker room celebration on Facebook -- in violation of league policy. This was also done in spite of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger asking Brown to lay low a bit on social media, and his decision to do the opposite
A heated dispute with a Roethlisberger during a Wednesday walkthrough escalated to the point where Brown threw a football at the QB, and the wideout opted to then skip the remaining practices leading up to the team's Week 17 battle with the Cincinnati Bengals.

AB is accused of sexual assault and rape, allegations he denies
Sept. 16: Taylor meets with the NFL. A source previously had told ESPN there are "more interviews and information-gathering being conducted now beyond Taylor."
In addition to the Taylor lawsuit, Brown faces another allegation of sexual misconduct by a female artist who was working at his Western Pennsylvania home in 2017. That allegation was part of a Sports Illustrated report published Monday that detailed domestic incidents involving Brown, a charity auction theft and multiple unpaid debts.
Yesterday he tweets he will no longer be playing in the NFL.
So AB, rather than confess, deal with your issues and learn and grow and move forward you are just going to pout and quit.
PERFECT… I BELIEVE WE COVERED THIS ALL LAST WEEK, BLAME EVERYONE ELSE SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO CHANGE.
Prov. 28:13 Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.
Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. 8 For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. 9 And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. 10 So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.
By not dealing with your sin you limit your growth
(You can’t grow unless you admit and are open to areas in your life you need to grow)
James 5;16 Therefore confess your sins one to another so that you may be healed. (healed not only physically but spiritually)
You limit your blessing - 2 Chron. 7:14 14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
You limit your influence
1 Timothy 4:12 Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.
Young (acting young and foolish)
Despise (blow you off)
You limit your witness
Matthew 5:16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
MGLG - make God look good… not make Garth look good.
Your job is to glorify God in all you do!
Refusing to deal with your sin may make you look good for a while, but it makes God look bad… but trust me in time the tables with turn…. FOR GOD SHALL NOT BE MOCKED!
