Wilson wasn’t the only one to take issue with Payton’s words either, as ESPN’s Michael Wilbon took him down on “Pardon the Interruption” on Wednesday.

“Sean Payton is a really, really good coach,” Wilpon said. “Except, more often than not, Sean Payton acts like a classless tramp. That’s what he is.”

“Sean Payton, who do you think you are?” Wilpon later added. “You’re not good as you can only shoot people.”

“I wish Russell Wilson would have gone further.”

The Broncos and Giants don’t play against each other this season (unless they meet in the Super Bowl), so any chance of revenge by Wilson will have to wait.
