'Nocturnal beast' Antonio Brown known to pump late-night iron

PITTSBURGH -- Antonio Brown speaks to the Pittsburgh media once a week, and each session takes on its own identity, depending on his mood. The Steelers wide receiver can be insightful, playful, clipped or even combative. But he almost always delivers one unique, borderline goofy line that sticks.

Take the Friday before the Week 11 matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars, when Brown was asked about Cam Newton recently calling him a "nocturnal beast" because of his penchant for late-night workouts.

Brown took that conversation straight to the farm.

"Well, you know, like we was saying today -- goat cheese, goat milk, goat skin," Brown said.
