Michael Thomas Gets Into Twitter Spat With New Orleans Reporter
The New Orleans Saints went home far earlier than anyone expected this year after going 13-3 and earning homefield advantage for the Wild Card round of the playoffs. The Vikings marched into the SuperDome and took down Drew Brees and the rest of a New Orleans team that many viewed as legitimate championship contenders.
Michael Thomas had a record-breaking season en route to the disappointing upset. But he got into it on Twitter with local New Orleans reporter Andrew Doak on Saturday night, ultimately telling Doak to watch his mouth before Thomas "has to pop [him] in it".
same couch I sat on every week after leading the league in every category week in and week out while you searched for a story goofy

nope this is my platform you follow me and watch me. Know your place like I said you don’t know me. And you ain’t never played this sport so keep your advice for your intramural team.

watch your mouth before I have to pop you in it before you even make it to the locker room. Goodnight ?

I meant to speak man-to-man, as a professional, Mike.

Doak's initial tweet seemed to be a subtle shot at Thomas, who tweeted "That's what y'all get" after the Vikings were thoroughly handled by the 49ers in their divisional round matchup.
?? that’s what y’all get

Not a great look for Thomas here, even if Doak's initial shot was unwarranted. I would imagine their next locker room meeting will be tense.
