Despite being on the lam in the Middle East, former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown is still cracking jokes on social media. On Wednesday morning, the former NFL star wrote on X, 'Cam Hayward is Magics son?'
Brown was referring to Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson's son, EJ Johnson.

Cam Heyward caught wind of AB's joke and clapped back, 'Good thing you can't spell?! Let me know when you back in the states,' the All-Pro defensive tackle wrote on X.
Brown is wanted in Miami-Dade County, Florida on a charge of attempted murder, according to court documents obtained by the Washington Post. Brown, 36, was allegedly involved in a shooting at a celebrity boxing event in May. He was initially detained by police immediately after the incident, but was released.
The day after the incident, Brown said in a post on X that he was 'jumped by multiple individuals who tried to steal my jewelry and cause physical harm to me.'

Since the warrant was issued on June 11, the former NFL star has been traveling in the Middle East and remains overseas. He is not considered 'on the run, as Brown's trip began before the warrant was issued, according to the Miami Herald.
The warrant calls for Antonio Brown to post a $10,000 bond and he will be subject to house arrest until the trial.
Miami Police Chief Manny Morales on Monday afternoon told the Herald that detectives believe Brown is still in Dubai, have been in contact with his attorney and expect him to be taken into custody once he returns to South Florida.
'We're not going to be sending anybody there,' the chief said.

On Sunday, Brown claimed on X that he's been racially profiled by the media, fans and the NFL.
'How TF [the f—] You go from being victimized unto a attempt to murder you see they control the media,' Brown said in the post, which included a screenshot from ChatGPT. 'Took a month to change the narrative…'
Two days after his warrant was issued, Brown posted a clip of him pedaling a two-wheeler, all with a huge smile on his face. The post was captioned, '#lovefromthemiddleeast.'
Brown spent nine years with the Steelers from 2010-18 and then spent three more seasons in the NFL before quitting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers mid-game in 2021. He has been embroiled in numerous legal battles over the years, including sexual assault allegations, physical violence, failing to pay child support, and stiffing several vendors and contractors, including during his time as the owner of the Albany Empire indoor football team.

5 San Francisco 49ers who could win NFL MVP award in 2025
The San Francisco 49ers haven't had an NFL MVP award winner since 1994 when quarterback Steve Young took home the trophy for a second time in three seasons. They got close in 2023 when running back Christian McCaffrey and quarterback Brock Purdy finished No. 3 and No. 4 in the voting, respectively. We were sifting through their chances to snag an MVP winner for the first time in more than 30 years and came up with five players who could bring the award back to the Bay Area: 5. LB Fred Warner It's admittedly hard to fathom a linebacker winning an MVP award. We picked Warner out of respect for his all-around skill set and the fact he was a First-Team All-Pro last year despite playing from Week 4 on with a fractured ankle. If the 49ers have the No. 1 defense and Warner leads the way with a few interceptions, a handful of sacks, and some dominant prime time performances, perhaps an off-ball LB works his way into the MVP conversation. 4. QB Mac Jones Look, at least we're making Jones the No. 4 candidate and not No. 1 like some people did after Sam Darnold signed with the 49ers ahead of the 2023 season. That was actually a thing. While Jones hasn't been particularly good since his rookie season, he's still a quarterback which gives him a major boost in the MVP discussion. If Purdy gets hurt early in the year and Jones steps into head coach Kyle Shanahan's offense, thrives and leads San Francisco to a division title, he would at the very least be in the discussion for the award. 3. DE Nick Bosa Playing a high-profile position where sacks offer a flashy, catch-all stat for voters to cite helps Bosa's case quite a bit over other defensive players. The 49ers would love to get a year from their former Defensive Player of the Year where he leaps into the MVP conversation. If he does, it means he's in the 20-plus sack realm and spearheading a defense that is one of the NFL's most dominant units. 2. RB Christian McCaffrey We don't need to reach very far to make McCaffrey an MVP candidate considering he finished third in MVP voting just two years ago. Despite his recent injury problems, McCaffrey is still the most unique playmaker on the 49ers. Quarterback Brock Purdy may have to rely on McCaffrey a lot as a receiver, putting another season with 1,000 rushing yards and 1,000 receiving yards on the table. If he hits those benchmarks on a high-octane 49ers offense, he'll be back in the MVP mix. 1. QB Brock Purdy The 49ers paid Purdy like a player who can win an MVP, and he played like that in 2023. Last season he took a step back, but if he and the 49ers improve this year, and the 49ers offense gets back to scoring 30 points on almost everyone, he'll be prominent in the MVP discourse.
