Shannon Sharpe has been critical of Antonio Brown's behavior in recent weeks, in light of Brown being cut from the Raiders amid conflict with the team's owner and other members of the team. Sharpe also criticized Brown for the way he celebrated getting signed to the Patriots by celebrating with a video posted to his social media, with Sharpe calling Brown a "clown." 

Sharpe tweeted, "1.9M ppl watched this video 2 weeks ago, applauding this [clownish] behavior. What do the 1.9M ppl think today? I’ll leave you with this: Talent is God-given; be humble. Fame is man-given; be thankful. Conceit is self-given; be careful."

Sharpe also defended himself against people claiming that he's putting too much focus on AB, tweeting, "I wished AB’s behavior annoyed you as much as me talking about it does. Be mad at the weather not the weather man telling you about."
