Russell Wilson, the veteran quarterback, has revealed that he finally snapped after former head coach Sean Payton's criticism of him during a recent episode of "Bussin' With The Boys". The comments came in response to Payton's comment that he was hoping to face Wilson, New York’s Week 1 starter, rather than rookie Jaxson Dart. Wilson responded angrily by calling Payton “classless” and referencing his infamous bounty hunting scandal with the Saints. The two had a contentious relationship when Wilson was in Denver and later released after the season ended. Wilson, who is set to hit free agency this offseason after a disappointing one-season stint with the Giants, is past the point of disrespecting himself.
