Demaryius Thomas KOs Josh Norman with one tweet

Let's head back to the Josh Norman beat.

Tucked into the same ESPN The Magazine profile that included piping hot takes on the disintegration of his relationship with the Panthers, the Redskins team name controversy, his place in the cornerback pecking order and his eternal battle with Odell Beckham Jr., is a Norman dig at Pro Bowl wide receiver Demaryius Thomas.

The Broncos star was held to just one catch on six targets in Super Bowl 50, with Norman in primary coverage on Thomas. Despite the fact that the Panthers play a defense that rarely left Norman alone against Thomas, and despite the fact that the Broncos, you know, won the game, Norman decided to wrap Thomas across the knuckles.

"I don't know what he was out there for," Norman said. "He was supposed to be an all-world guy, and I shut him down."

Thomas, knowing his team was on the right side of history on the seventh day of February, struck back with lethal force.

Norman may be a good corner, but he's a total douchenozzle. He walked right into that one.

I didn't watch the game closely, but per one of the comments . . . a penalty on Norman helped set up the Broncos only offensive touchdown? Nice.

I'm glad to see Norman get owned, but he has a bit of a point about Thomas not doing crap when it mattered.

It was right after Newton's career decision to not jump on his own fumble.

3rd and 4 at the 6 yard line, Norman grabs onto Thomas immediately and holds on for dear life as Peyton tries to hit him in the back of the end zone. Cam fell over in response like he got sniped. Automatic 1st down, Anderson punches it in on the next play.

If Norman is so great, it only benefited Denver that Carolina wasted their 'best' DB on following what he is insinuating to be a mediocre WR. Despite being the ultimate team sport, it sure is full of a lot of look-at-me divas.

And he's even further from a ring now that he plays for Washington. Go make those millions though.

Yo, Josh. I tried to call. No ring.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. With McLougan back in the mix, I expect the Skins to be in contention shortly.

If there is one position that it seems could have people view their own play completely separate from that of the rest of the team, it seems to be cornerback.
