Last week, LeSean McCoy continued his lame feud with Osi Umenyirorionsbelt by calling the Giants lineman a ballerina. That was after Umenyukontrail called McCoy Lady Gaga and a Chihuahua.

The Steelers (1-2) will be looking for a more advantageous matchup when they host the Eagles ( 3 1) Sunday, namely, whoever is matched up with Philadelphia’s third corner, rookie Brandon Boykin, a fourth-round pick out of Georgia.

Lame. But if I’m Boykins, I accept the challenge with: Hungry? Why wait? Actually, I demand that Boykins responds that way. Though I suspect it will be with something equally as weak.
