Bill Simmons was trying to make a clever joke using a WWE reference on Sunday night, but he picked the wrong wrestler to call out.
Although the Houston Texans came back to beat the Indianapolis Colts in a dramatic overtime win, Simmons felt NBC’s Cris Collinsworth was overselling the quality of the game. That’s when he decided to compare a lousy football game to a WWE match featuring Sheamus.
I love when Collinsworth pretends that a terrible game with a close score is a great game. It's like Michael Cole selling a Shamus match.

Simmons was probably surprised to see that Sheamus heard about the dig. And the former heavyweight champion delivered an even better shot of his own.
Tru dat. Never a close match when I mangle some poor mutt… Still, Cole could help sell your flagging HBO show & p*ss-poor promo skills? https://t.co/mcQIaNkdQG

Simmons should probably stick to defending his favorite boy toy, because he just lost that Twitter battle in a big way.
