Yesterday, during Peyton Manning’s retirment press conference, Steelers running back DeAngelo Williams stirred the pot by calling out Manning for his poor season last year.
Look Peyton is a hall of fame qb who couldn't play dead in a western last year but career over all is astonishing but last year was 💩😷

Overall yes but last year no I can name every college qb who threw the ball better than him last year😏 https://t.co/UkPyWtxzyB

This of course made a lot of people angry and Williams was more than happy to respond to anyone who wanted to argue with him.
So I can say whatever I won't to about u and your family because u don't hold a position in the NFL? I'll wait…..🤔 https://t.co/qy5OinklrG

Today, coach Mike Tomlin who hadn’t tweeted since November posted a message for Williams basically telling him to shut up about Peyton Manning.
DWill (@DeAngeloRB) quit while you are behind! #Really

And the Internet reacted hilariously by Tomlin’s scolding.
