For some reason, ESPN’s Jason Whitlock was reminiscing over the first time he saw Ray Lewis’ famous dance.
First time I was in Baltimore and saw Ray dance, I literally teared up and genuinely wanted to play. I got goosebumps. #footballiscrazy

CBS’s Pete Prisco had a different take.
@WhitlockJason The first time I saw it, I thought: How over the top and how look-at-me it was. To each his own. — Pete Prisco (@PriscoCBS) August 23, 2013
@WhitlockJason Most overrated crap in sports. Ray Lewis dancing. Motivating — Pete Prisco (@PriscoCBS) August 23, 2013
@PriscoCBS Pete, that’s just crazy. Ray’s emotion was a game-changer. Great leader. — Jason Whitlock (@WhitlockJason) August 23, 2013
@WhitlockJason When you played, did you need someone in your ass telling you to play? — Pete Prisco (@PriscoCBS) August 23, 2013
Back to the original topic:
@PriscoCBS not trying to be condescending, but did you ever play football? — Jason Whitlock (@WhitlockJason) August 23, 2013
Prisco calls Whitlock out, but plays along.
@WhitlockJason You are trying to be, and yes I did. I didn’t need rah-rah crap in my ear. Do your job.
— Pete Prisco (@PriscoCBS) August 23, 2013
@PriscoCBS no, i’m not. at what level and what position?
— Jason Whitlock (@WhitlockJason) August 23, 2013
@WhitlockJason High school — guard. Biggest level in Florida. That was it. — Pete Prisco (@PriscoCBS) August 23, 2013
Prisco back pedals from his previous comments.
@WhitlockJason I know you are not. Just messing. — Pete Prisco (@PriscoCBS) August 23, 2013
Whitlock goes to his favorite topic.
@PriscoCBS did you play with any black dudes? defense is an emotional side of football. ray connected in a big way.
— Jason Whitlock (@WhitlockJason) August 23, 2013
@WhitlockJason Yes. What does that have to do with it?
— Pete Prisco (@PriscoCBS) August 23, 2013
Prisco tries to tout his high school level of play versus Whitlock.
@WhitlockJason Yes. What does that have to do with it?
— Pete Prisco (@PriscoCBS) August 23, 2013
Whitlock appreciated the “what does that have to do with it?” response.
@PriscoCBS good troll. you win. — Jason Whitlock (@WhitlockJason) August 23, 2013
But not the high school one.
@PriscoCBS oh, jeezuz. here we go. — Jason Whitlock (@WhitlockJason) August 23, 2013
Paging Skip Bayless, paging Skip Bayless. Would Skip Bayless please chime in on his high school athletic dominance. Pete Prisco says they were just goofing around though.
@macspadwriting @whitlockjason We’re having fun.
