The Facts: Brown is sorry. The Steelers star receiver said it over and over again in a lengthy conversation with Bleacher Report. It wasn't programmed or fake. He wasn't apologizing because it was the political thing to do. As we talked about his controversial video of the Steelers' post-playoff win locker room celebration, and the subsequent reaction, Brown seemed genuinely regretful. "It was a dumb mistake," Brown said. "Can't believe I did it, and it won't happen again. I promise you that."

Diehards Line:In case you missed it, Brown created a stir around the league when he streamed video on Facebook Live of Mike Tomlin's profanity-laced postgame locker room speech to the Steelers following their divisional-round win over the Chiefs in Kansas City. "The big thing I learned is that I have some growing up to do, and I'm going to do it," Brown said. "I learned a lot from it and will keep learning. I'm going to rebuild the trust with my teammates and my coaches. I promise you that, too." According to BR's Mike Freeman, teammates think Brown learned from his mistake and the team is now fully behind him. So will he play in Pittsburgh next season? "I'm a Steeler for life," Brown said. Of course, it isn't entirely up to him, but as Freeman opined, Brown is too good for the Steelers to let go. At least, for the moment, it seems that way.
