Revis is not so involved in football, except when he is
Rather like a current New York Jets star cornerback, Jets’ great Darrelle Revis is no stranger to trash talk.
The difference is that while Sauce Gardner generally doesn’t get into it directly with another player, Revis has a long history of doing so.
The Richard Sherman-Revis Twitter wars were particularly insistent as both players battled for the title of the NFL’s best corner. (Sorry, Sherm; you’re a Hall of Famer, but Revis was an all-timer and the last of a generation of lockdown corners.)
Here, Revis responds to Chad Johnson on Twitter (or is he Ochocinco?). Johnson told Shannon Sharpe that Revis “dressed so ugly, but he’s one of the greatest.”
what receiver u know who wears spat. I only thought RB’s wear spat on cleats but claim my gear was ugly. buddy, I shut you down two weeks in a row. 1st week: 0 catches 0 yards. 2nd week: 2 catches for 28 yards. just live with the facts. it will sink in soon. @ochocinco pic.twitter.com/yyX0xNXd9o

Revis brings up the back-to-back weeks in 2009 when he shut down the Bengals’ dominant and outspoken receiver.
Johnson responded by offering to meet Revis at the park and give it another go.
I had 28 yards on you though so technically you didn’t shut me down, i said you were the best I faced but i didn’t like your socks pulled so high, we can meet at the park & line it up again. https://t.co/U05yduweo0

Ocho, I haven’t seen you on the Hall of Fame semifinalist ballot yet. Revis was just a tick out of your league.
so are you asking for a due over when I already shut you down twice? @ochocinco

It’s always good to receive a throwback to the days when Revis was getting into it on Twitter while backing it up on the field.
