Never thought we would say this, but if you try coming at Cris Collinsworth on Twitter, make sure you come correct. Don't make the same mistake as Bill Simmons. During Sunday's game between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks, Simmons wanted someone to "gently break the news" to Collinsworth that the Seahawks' offensive line looked competent last night because the Patriots' defensive line and linebackers are "weak."

Somebody needs to gently break the news to Collinsworth that the Pats have a weak front 7 and that's why Seattle's o-line looks good.

Then, Collinsworth dropped this heat on Simmons, referencing his HBO show, Any Given Wednesday, which was canceled after just four months

Damn! Even though the tweet has already been deleted, Twitter still felt its ripple effect. 

collinsworth really hit bill simmons with the “99% of your fans don’t exist”.
