Emmanuel Acho Went After Doug Gottlieb on Twitter Following Sam Acho's 'Trash' Take
ESPN's Sam Acho shared a pretty spicy opinion on First Take Thursday, leaving Patrick Mahomes off his list of the top five quarterbacks in the NFL. It was such a bold opinion that we even wrote a post about it. We were not alone in finding this to be a questionable take. Doug Gottlieb of FOX Sports subtweeted Acho this evening saying if you didn't think Mahomes is a top five QB then "you probably shouldn't talk about football for a living... or to friends... or strangers.." This caught the attention of FOX Sports' Emmanuel Acho who went right after Gottlieb.
You got a real slick mouth for being a back up on the court and on television, you got to pick a struggle. https://t.co/oU5KU2KLib

Gottlieb quote tweeted Acho back, pointing out he had no defense of Sam's take.
When you have no defense for your brother’s indefensible take, you go at the messenger. https://t.co/yDmvUdVXzD

Usually, a bad take on ESPN results in a day's worth of programming on ESPN, but this time it resulted in two FOX Sports personalities going at it on Twitter. After being called a dick, Acho seemed to end things by saying if you don't agree with someone's sports opinoins you should "*respectfully*" disagree.
We don’t all have to agree with each others sports opinions, but what we will do and can do is *respectfully* disagree.

We tweet things at people we’d never say to their face as If there’s not someone on the other end of the screen receiving those words.
Something for everyone to think about.
