Josh Norman has said a whole lot this offseason, but he still has plenty to learn in the art of trash talking.
The Washington Redskins cornerback’s latest outburst came in an extensive interview for ESPN the Magazine, in which he called NFL commissioner Roger Goodell “straight horrible.” Norman also took a shot at Demaryius Thomas, claiming he locked up the Denver Broncos wide receiver in Super Bowl 50 while playing for the Carolina Panthers.
“I don’t know what he was out there for,” Norman told ESPN. “He was supposed to be an all-world guy, and I shut him down.”
Norman isn’t exactly wrong — Thomas had only one catch for 8 yards — but there’s one problem: Norman’s Panthers lost Super Bowl 50. That opened the door for Thomas to respond with a perfect comeback Tuesday on Twitter.

Yes, that’s Thomas’ Super Bowl ring — something Norman might have a bit more trouble obtaining in Washington this season.
Unfortunately for us, the Broncos don’t play the Redskins this season, so Thomas and Norman won’t have the chance to settle their beef on the field (unless, by some miracle, they meet in Super Bowl LI.)
But hopefully Thomas’ tweet can turn Norman’s attention to actually winning football games instead of stirring up controversy with Pro Bowl wide receivers.
