DeAngelo Hall takes spat with Hopkins to Twitter, loses again

One of the highlights of the first episode of Hard Knocks: Houston Texans was a scene from the Texans-Redskins joint practices in Richmond showing Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins and Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall coming nose to nose while exchanging pleasantries before being shoved away by teammates.

Later, the cameras caught Hopkins and Hall going one-on-one in a football setting. Hall slipped while backpedaling and didn’t get up. Hopkins turned, caught the pass and turned a routine play into a celebratory moment when he noticed Hall was still on the ground.

Hall was injured on the play and didn’t return to action. Hopkins -- and several nearby Texans teammates -- let Hall hear about it, yelling things about broken ankles and shattered pride and generally touching on what a nice gentleman Hall was.

The incidents making the cut of a national TV series left Hall with a bruised ego in addition to the strained groin muscle he apparently suffered on the play.

Thursday morning, Hall tweeted: “When the highlight of your career is catching a 10 yd pass on a DB while he slips and you feel like you did something. #SadDayInFootball.”

Hopkins jabbed back via his Twitter account 25 minutes later: “Hope treatment going well.”

The referee should stop this fight.
