NFL star takes his battle to website's Twitter mentions after post-season snub
How did sports fans live before social media?
We never got any golden moments like this one, that's for sure.
With the Super Bowl behind us, the website Pro Football Focus published a list of its 101 best players during the NFL season that was. Not included on the list was Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy, who gained 1,267 rushing yards and scored 13 touchdowns this season.
McCoy took the news in stride. Just kidding.
He took the battle to PFF's Twitter mentions, where he flamed the site's staff with this sophisticated counterpoint on Monday morning.

PFF actually published a companion list explaining why 10 big names -- including McCoy -- were left off its countdown of the season's top 100 players. Therein, McCoy's stats were praised -- but his lacking performance as a blocker was offered as justification for being left out.
There's always next year.
