Steelers' Antonio Brown Dons Hippo Suit, Sings On New Fox Show

PITTSBURGH, PA - Antonio Brown’s coach and teammates haven’t been able to contact him recently, but the producers of the new Fox reality TV series “The Masked Singer” apparently had no problem doing so.

The Steelers’ estranged wide receiver appeared on the premiere of the show, which features mystery guests in elaborate garb singing songs as the audience and judges attempt to determine their identity.

Dressed in a hippo suit, Brown poorly performed the old Bobby Brown tune, “My Prerogative.” The judges correctly assessed that he was not a professional singer and most likely an athlete, but could not determine who he was until the hippo mask came off.

Brown’s appearance came hours after Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said Brown likely will face in-house discipline for his absences last week that caused him to be benched for the Steelers' season finale. Tomlin also said the wide receiver has not formally requested a trade.
