Joe Greene didn't mince words when discussing Antonio Brown's broadcasting of the Steelers' postgame celebration on Facebook Live following the team's playoff victory over the Chiefs.

Speaking on 93.7 The Fan, Greene addressed Brown's actions and what he initially felt the team should have done with regard to the star receiver's future in Pittsburgh.

“I was very, very, very disappointed in the actions of our wide receiver, No. 84, at the end of the year,” Greene said. “Those types of thing can’t be tolerated.

“My first thought was, I would have to say goodbye (to Brown), but that’s me.”

As everyone knows, the Steelers not only retained Brown, they made him the NFL's highest paid receiver, signing him to a four-year extension that will pay him an average of $17 million a season over the next five years.

While he may not agree with the Steelers' handling of Brown, Greene said that he has the "utmost respect" for the franchise and that he supports whatever decisions they made with regard to player personnel. But with that being said, Greene made it clear how he felt about Brown's actions and how it hurt him, the greatest player in franchise history and one of the greatest players in NFL history.

"When you sign on with the Steelers, you're signing on with an origination that you gotta put your job, as Chuck (Noll) always told us, there was God, family and football," Greene said. "And when you start to put yourself above all of that, then the selfishness comes into place, then you get individual acts like the ones then that I personally think is a detriment to the entire organization and what we're trying to do in Pittsburgh.

"That's a youthful mistake, but in my view, I just don't think that it should be tolerated."

While Greene said that his first instinct would have been to let Brown go, he added that he does feel that the Steelers probably made a good decision keeping Brown in Pittsburgh, saying that the situation may turn out to be a blessing in disguise for Brown and the organization. He also called Brown a "fantastic player" while adding that his touchdown against the Ravens in Week 16 will go down as one of the greatest plays in franchise history.

"I guess intelligent people wouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater. That's probably what we did," Greene said of the Steelers decision to keep Brown in Pittsburgh. "And in the end, (keeping Brown) could have been the best thing to do. But when you're talking to guy that's not an executive, and historically has been a ball player, then we may go in a different direction."
