After a hugely successful 2016 season, Derek Carr has struggled over the past two seasons. Carr voiced his displeasure with criticism from the likes of ESPN’s First Take.
“It’s because I blocked them both for talking trash about our team. Those 2 clowns don’t know anything about this game. Would love to actually sit and break down film with these two on tv just to show their viewers how incompetent (lacking qualification) they are about our game,” Carr wrote.

Carr then told UFC President Dana White he wanted to challenge Stephen A. Smith and Max Kellerman to a fight.
“Hey how do I challenge a couple of these clowns on tv to a fight? I think we should start a business together. Where pro athletes can challenge some of these people to an octagon fight until they give us an answer,” Carr wrote.
@ufc @danawhite hey how do I challenge a couple of these clowns on tv to a fight? I think we should start a business together. Where pro athletes can challenge some of these people to an octagon fight until they give us an answer…. You don’t know me… stop lying.

Smith jumped in on Twitter late Wednesday night.
Here’s the question: why is he talking about getting ME in the octagon instead of a UFC fighter, @danawhite. What do I have to do with the sorry-ass season the @Raiders. All I did was observe. But I’ll deal with this on @FirstTake. Yo, @derekcarrqb: Wrong Brother! https://t.co/rcjDxYyGYL

Haaaaaaa! Good one. You’d have a point if I were actually talking about either one of them. But I’ve had nothing to say…..until tomorrow on @FirstTake. And yes, @derekcarrqb is welcome to come on @FirstTake. But we all know he won’t. https://t.co/czKKeQDmUt

Do I need to learn……or does @derekcarrqb and the @Raiders need to learn. Think about that? https://t.co/bNGJTD1yG0

Stephen A. Smith loves hearing the sounds of his own voice/tweets.
Can’t wait to see what he has to say on First Take.
