WWE News: NFL player lashes out at C.M. Punk again

NFL player Shawne Merriman lashed out at C.M. Punk in a series of Twitter posts on Sunday. "F--- C.M. Punk, he's still a punk forever in my book," Merriman wrote. "I'm sure my supporters feel the same way... And WWE, I ain't hosting y'all new network until somebody whoop C.M. Punk cuz he's a p$ssy.

"Serious, who the f--- is C.M. Punk other than a soft butt...wrestling gone soft f off... If god is my witness, C.M. Punk was wearing a thong laying by the pool tanning his cheeks in Costa Rica, now tell me I'm lying... C.M. Punk wants no part of Lights, trust me...

"And WWE, I ain't hoting sh#t until C.M. is dethroned... I ain't a hater at all, but if you like dudes tanning by the pool (in) a thong that's cool. I think he had pillows under his stomach." Follow Merriman at Twitter.com/ShawneMerriman. [Thanks to Dot Net readers Mike Roth and Robert Perry]

Powell's POV: Call me crazy, but I don't think WWE will be calling a player who has played in eight games over the last two seasons to host their television shows. Well, unless Vince McMahon decides to relaunch the XFL and even then it's iffy. The guy was a hell of a player in San Diego before he failed a steroid test. For those keeping score at home, he has 12 more tackles over the last two NFL seasons than I do.

Merriman acknowledged that he's friends with singer Chris Brown, who is also feuding with Punk, right before he started in with his latest anti-Punk comments. Merriman's previous Twitter feud with Punk started because Punk mocked him for his failed attempts to pick up one of the Divas when WWE was in Costa Rica.
