Antonio Brown is on his best behavior since joining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last season. That changed on Thursday morning when the receiver was kicked out of joint practice with the Tennessee Titans for throwing a few punches.
Brown was involved in two fights during Thursday's practice session, and he threw a punch at both of them. First, he went round-the-clock to Christian Fulton and exchanged words with her after a rep. Brown clearly felt he was being held on, according to Turon Davenport of ESPN's NFL Nation, and the two went helmet-to-helmet with each other in the jaws.
Eventually, Brown threw a punch at Fulton before the two parted ways. Practice then continued, but Brown was involved in another scuffle a few minutes later.
The former Steelers/Raiders/Patriots receiver joined in with Titans defensive back Chris Jackson during another rep, and once again threw a punch. According to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times, Brown made sense this time by ripping off Jackson's helmet before taking his swing.
And as you can see, Brown is hooked on that punch:

Joint practice gets a bit feisty, but Brown clearly took things too far - twice - on Thursday.
