Mario Williams says Osi Umenyiora is a coward
At least that's what he told Pete Prisco of CBS Sportsline to write in his column.
Seems Prisco, a longtime media acquaintance of "What About Bob" (he's a bigger wise guy than me, which is hard to do), ranked the NFL's top players and he put Houston defensive end Mario Williams, the No. 1 pick of the 2006 draft, at No. 6 overall. He ranked the Giants' Umenyiora 42nd.
During a radio interview, Osi expressed dismay at the rankings. Yet he never said anything to Williams when the two spoke shortly before the interview. So, when Williams got wind of Umenyiora ripping the rankings, he called Umenyiora a coward and told Prisco to write it.
Never one to pass up a little smack talk, Prisco did just that.
The only downside to all this is that the Giants and Texans don't meet this year. At least not in the regular season. If the teams meet in the Super Bowl (fat chance), at least Rock will have a decent storyline to start the week.
