There is an "unwritten rule" in the NFL that younger players show a bit of respect for seasoned veterans.  It wasn't the "jawing" that Ramsey was doing, it went deeper than that.

The play was a running play away from AJ's side of the field and he knew it.  He could have gone at Ramsey's legs (dangerous) which would have been legal but dirty, yet he let up with a slight shove.  Ramsey's push or shove towards Green while Green had his back turned was totally unnecessary, cheap and pretty downright disrespectful.

Should Ramsey have gotten a flag for that?  Certainly.  Should have he been ejected?  Not at all.

Was Green wrong to handle it the way that he did?  Certainly.  Should he have been ejected?  Absolutely.

The point is though, Ramsey needs to chill on the "cheap" shots like that.  Other receivers see that and will possibly do what AJ Green didn't do and go at his legs in a legal blocking maneuver that could possibly hurt him.

All that sounds good but he didn’t say that after the game. He was talking about all that standing up for himself and showing his son an example of not backing down. Then story was he said something personal (hinted by Pacman. Rumored to be about his wife or child). Then it turned to he didn’t show me respect and I could have taken out his legs but didn’t. 

What it sound like is he is an all pro player and is use different to playing weaker slower corners. Guys who give him 10 yards. And Sunday he played a guy who was in his face, beat him up and couldn’t stop it. On top of that, Ramsey was telling him about it the whole time. He could do anything within the confines of the game to stop it so all he could do was literally just fight the guy. So trying to choke him out is his response to a player getting the best of you? Naw I think who he really is came out and now this is a say anything I can say to clean this up and see what sticks. I literally have a buddy telling me his gonna get the “scoop” from AJ’s barber lol. 

The reality is AJ pulled a punk move  plain and simple. I can’t out play you so imma gonna fight you. I know we like to think these guys are just perfect but Antonio Brown has been showing his true colors these past few years. He’s a dirtbag. I wouldn’t be surprised if AJ has been this way the whole time.

Meh, I'm just posting what I saw and heard.  It seems to be the most reasonable and realistic case to me.  Regarding the part in bold, he could have aggressively blocked Ramsey by going at his legs.

As far as rumors and "hearing it from a buddy who is getting information from his barber", I don't really believe that kind of stuff.  That's what's wrong with social media.

By the way, what I posted didn't come from AJ, it came from an analyst and former player.

As far as "punk moves", both players did it.
