Troubled NFL Great Antonio Brown Is Wanted On Serious Charge
Troubled NFL great Antonio Brown is wanted for attempted murder, The Washington Post reported Thursday after reviewing the arrest warrant.
Officials in Miami-Dade County are looking to arrest the former receiver in connection with a shooting at a celebrity boxing event in May. Brown was originally detained and released after the incident. He said at the time he was jumped by people wanting to steal his jewelry. Gunshots were fired during the melee and video later clarified Brown's alleged involvement, the warrant asserted.

Brown is to be charged with attempted murder with a firearm and the warrant calls for Brown to post a $10,000 bond and stay under house arrest until a trial, the Post reported.
According to the warrant, the footage shows Brown punching someone, instigating a brawl, seemingly taking a gun from a security guard, and approaching the man he hit. Two gunshots are heard in cellphone video as Brown nears the victim, who ducks.
The victim told police last month that Brown shot him twice and they wrestled over the gun before Brown exited the scene, the warrant said.
The victim was treated at a hospital for injuries.

HuffPost reached out to law enforcement and also tried to contact Brown, but did not immediately hear back from any parties.
Brown hauled in 928 receptions for 12,291 yards and 83 touchdowns from 2010 through the 2021 season. Brown caught a touchdown pass from Tom Brady, with whom he lived for a time, in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 2021 Super Bowl victory. He spent most of his NFL years with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The mercurial star's career was mired in chaos off the field.
He has been accused of sexual assault and faced warrants for domestic violence and unpaid child support.
He recently filed for bankruptcy, a few years after he played in his last NFL game at the end of the 2021 season. He bizarrely stripped off much of his uniform during the game between the Buccaneers and Jets and waved to fans at MetLife Stadium. He was cut from the team.

Brown has blamed chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a brain-trauma condition that is diagnosed at death, for his aggressive behavior.

Buccaneers' Star WR Makes Subtle Name Change to Honor Father
Buccaneers' Star WR Makes Subtle Name Change to Honor Father originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Tampa Bay Buccaneers star wide receiver Chris Godwin has had quite a journey the last couple of seasons. Advertisement And it doesn't have anything to do with football. Godwin lost his father a little over a calendar year ago, and is now honoring him as Father's Day approaches. He's also heading into his first Father's Day from the other side of it ... as a father. It's no doubt an emotional journey for Godwin, who issued a press release announcing that he's adding Jr. to be back of his jersey in honor of his late father. "As I kid I enjoyed an amazing relationship with my dad, Rod Christopher Godwin, Sr. From youth football through high school, I always knew that he was there because I would hear him yelling in support of his son. He instilled in me early that I could achieve anything I wanted if I worked hard enough and treated people with respect. I always appreciated and valued the immeasurable impact he had on my life, and I made sure to let him know that every day, not just on Father's Day. I lost my Pops in January of 2024, and Father's Day last year was a time of reflection and introspection. Advertisement "This year, Father's Day represents a full circle moment in my life journey as I get to celebrate being a first-time dad with my son, Ace. Fatherhood has already been an unbelievable experience and has changed me in so many ways. I can only hope that Ace feels the same way about me as I do about my dad. "As a professional athlete, you are always recognized for the name on the front of your jersey, but I also play for the name that's printed on the back. That's why I have chosen to add 'Jr.' to my name in honor of the man who gave so unselfishly of himself to others and helped mold me into who I am today. "Love you, Pops!" As Godwin is coming off a horrible injury last season that could affect his readiness to play in Week 1, he'll no doubt be proud when he does finally take the field with "Jr." after his name on his Buccaneers jersey, after honoring his late father, Rod Christopher Godwin Sr. Advertisement Related: Ex Bucs QB Tom Brady Offers Post-Draft Advice to Shedeur Sanders Related: Buccaneers Have Clear Focus for 2025 Improvement This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 12, 2025, where it first appeared.
