Darrelle Revis lashes back at J.R. Smith after 'Revis Island' burn
Darrelle Revis found himself burned by the internet again when the cornerback was smoked by Marquise Goodwin for an 84-yard touchdown in the first quarter of the Jets-Bills game on Thursday night.
Cleveland Cavaliers sharpshooter J.R. Smith was one of the many voices to take a swipe at "Revis Island", where Cincinnati's A.J. Green also toured in Week 1:
Damn #Revisisland turning into a tourist resort... #JustSaying

Which, Revis apparently did not take to kindly, as evidenced by this fiery lash back:
@TheRealJRSmith still heading to Canton though. What about you??? ?

Shortly afterward, however, Revis toned down his fire, acknowledging that there was room enough in their respective Halls of Fame for the both of them.
Smith, for his part, also explained his reasoning to Revis:
You right congrats! Just thought I would throw gas on the fire. Tired of people saying you losing it. #HOF https://t.co/Ggm6uDamwF

And to his Twitter critics:

I guess Jordan didn't push Griff jr an Griff jr didn't push Dion. Guess motivation is different in today's world! #EdReed #MotivatedMe

Whether or not the seven-time Pro Bowl cornerback will get to the Hall of Fame before Richard Sherman, however, remains to be seen. Though if Revis has any say in the matter:
