Who knew that a play late in Sunday Night Football's game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Denver Broncos, would have led to cyber warfare between Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green, and ESPN's Adam Schefter.
It all started with Schefter questioning Broncos WR Bennie Fowler for running into the end zone with three minutes left in the game, rather than stopping short to kill time.
If Broncos WR Bennie Fowler had just taken a knee near the end zone instead of going into the end zone, there's no OT and this game is over.

The Broncos were already up 17-16 at the time and the Chiefs had no timeouts remaining, so Schefter does have a point here.
However, Draymond Green doesn't believe in good points.
In today's doing too much News... no way any athlete would have ever said this.... wow https://t.co/xw1QFmbTgh

Naturally, Schefter fired back with more evidence to support his statement.
Remember this play, @Money23Green? Great play by a great athlete. Different ways to win - some with the mind.https://t.co/z5g9HhF3Wd

Green then proceeded to respond the way every other athlete who gets proven wrong by the media does.
@AdamSchefter talk to me about a play when you actually play the game... right now your word is very similar to John Clayton...

Sure, Schefter may not know what it's like to be in such a high-stakes moment, but Green perhaps needs to admit that leaving three minutes on the clock in a one-score game probably isn't the best of ideas.
