Antonio Brown shows up at Derek Carr’s son’s birthday party

It hasn’t taken long for Oakland Raiders wide receiver Antonio Brown to make himself at home. The former Pittsburgh Steelers star went on and on about how he never felt a connection with Ben Roethlisberger off the field and they never hung out. This was part of what prompted Brown to make himself an absolute nuisance and force a trade.

But it looks as if the Raiders took Mr. Big Chest’s words to heart and are bending over backward to give Brown the wide receiver/quarterback relationship of his dreams. First, he showed up at Derek Carr’s house with a camera crew so we could all witness their budding bromance.

And now he shows up at the birthday party of one of Carr’s sons and runs the obstacle course. Just more good old bonding. Of course, all of this is completely contrived and staged but if it humors Brown and makes him happy you can bet Carr and the Raiders will keep doing it.
