Terrelle Pryor’s rebirth as a dynamic wide receiver has been perhaps the only bright spot in the Cleveland Browns’ brutal, winless season. He had another very good game in defeat on Sunday, catching six passes for 131 yards. He did that after hearing that the Giants’ No. 1 corner, Janoris Jenkins, wasn’t particularly concerned about him heading into the game, and puffing out his chest:
Talk is talk. We will see Sunday. Never wanted to play the game as much as I do this Sunday ! https://t.co/qjhkW8G8X2

Jenkins wanted to make sure that Pryor didn’t have the upper hand, however, so he took to Twitter to dish out some hatred after the game (before deleting it):
Pryor, perhaps feeling chastened due to his team’s 12th defeat of the year, took the high road in response.
You are a great corner. Solid defender! You played a solid game. God Bless !! Good luck rest of year https://t.co/Lomh8ke4YW

So that’s the end of Pryor’s Twitter drama, right? Wrong. Back on Thanksgiving day, he was watching the late game between the Colts and the Steelers, and came away impressed by Colts punter Pat McAfee’s performance. He showed it with a bit of a backhanded compliment, however.

And of course, like any amateur comedian, McAfee is always on Twitter, and he took exception to Pryor’s comparison.

Oh boy, Terrelle got hit with a “Child, please.” That one’s tough to come back from, much like an 0-12 record. The Browns just can’t win anywhere these days.
