A.J. Brown pledged to ‘tone it down’ on social media in conversation with Jeffrey Lurie

Whether the Eagles win or lose Sunday evening against the Detroit Lions, A.J. Brown won’t have a subliminal social media post that ignites sports talk radio for the week.

Building on a report from John Clark of NBC Sports Philadelphia, ESPN‘s Sal Paolantonio detailed a meeting between Brown and owner Jeffrey Lurie at practice Thursday, facilitated by chief security officer Dom DiSandro:

What's interesting is that Paolantonio report above, he says Brown "pledged to the owner to cut down on the number of social media references he has to the team's offense. Basically, tone it down." 

Contrast that to what was written on ESPN's site, in a post that doesn't have a byline, but includes reporting from Sal Pal and Tim McManus: 

"During the 10-minute meeting, Brown promised Lurie that he would stop complaining on social media, according to the team official."
