There is something profoundly wrong with Antonio Brown.

The mercurial former Steelers' wide receiver and current Raiders' unimaginable migraine was always a little eccentric.

You get labeled “eccentric” when you are a bit goofy but don't affect your team in a massively negative way.

Your oddities are easier to overlook when you haul in 120 passes for 1,600 yards and 15 touchdowns annually on a playoff team.

That changes when you start hurling furniture off balconies. When you get in a tiff with your teammates. When you show up to training camp in helicopters and other forms of ridiculous transportation.

That changes when you bail on a playoff game because you feel slighted. When you demand a trade. When you whine and cry for weeks about a helmet and then threaten to punch the general manager.

Then, you are no longer labeled “eccentric.” You get a different label all together.

“Head case.”

“A cancer.”

“Bonehead.”

“Not worth the trouble.”

It appears the Raiders have already found themselves in an untenable situation with Brown.

Thursday, the Raiders suspended Brown indefinitely, which I'm sure went over well with him.

His Twitter fingers are probably twitching. He's already unfollowed teammates on the social media platform.

Steeler fans are sitting back and relishing in this debacle.

The Steelers' organization probably is, too, although they'll keep that to themselves.

Suddenly, that third-round pick Pittsburgh got from Oakland seems like a steal.

The narrative at the end of last season was that Brown was in part the victim.

That Ben Roethlisberger was goading him in practice, calling him out in front of his teammates and generally being a bully.

The narrative was head coach Mike Tomlin had lost the locker room and that Brown was simply doing what any diva wide receiver would do when given such enormous latitude.

Now it seems Brown was the only reason for Brown's behavior. He didn't need any help being an idiot.

The Raiders are finding that out the hard way.

And it's a shame.

Brown was a sixth-round draft choice who caught just 16 passes his rookie year. He worked hard and turned himself into arguably the best wide receiver in the game over the past six seasons.

Now he's such a distraction, two teams believe they are better off without him.

And they're right.
