Giants Hall of Famer sacks ex-49er on Twitter
The seasons of the Giants and 49ers are over, but the trash talk between their current and former players is red-hot. Even Pro Football Hall of Famer Michael Strahan joined the fun.
While watching the Eagles' blowout victory over the 49ers on Sunday, Giants rookie defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux jokingly tweeted that New York may be better than the 49ers.
Ex-49ers offensive lineman Joe Staley responded on Twitter, calling Thibodeaux "a flash player who gets bodied by average tackles."
Thibodeaux responded with an epic takedown: "Who are you bro..."
Staley then went back on Twitter to insult Thibodeaux again.
Staley's Twitter assault on the defensive end did not sit well with Strahan, who delivered some epic verbiage of his own.
It's not a surprise the Giants legend defended Thibodeaux, who as a kid watched Strahan play and idolizes him.
Former Giants kicker Lawrence Tynes, who booted the winning field goal in the 2011 NFC Championship Game to beat Staley's 49ers, piled on Staley, too.
Ah, boys will be boys.
