The New York football Giants may be winless thus far in 2013, but that hasn’t dampened the players’ competitive spirit. Especially, apparently, with each other.
In a story that would have been completely unthinkable just 10 years ago in the world of sports, Pro Footballs Talk’s Mike Florio reports that a Twitter fight broke out Tuesday night between Giants running back David Wilson and receiver Rueben Randle.
Florio notes that the exchange “at the time didn’t seem like good-natured fun.” Was it? We’ll let you decide.

And then a kiss-and-make-up moment:
