Cowboys' Center Phil Costa Calls Vince Wilfork A Mere "Speed Bump"?

FOXBORO — Thank you, Twitter.

If not for Twitter, most of us around here would have never heard of Dallas Cowboys center, Phil Costa, whose subtle jab at New England Patriots defensive tackle has gone viral.

On Costa's verified Twitter account, he was asked by a Cowboys fan about Wilfork.

The question read, "You ready for Wolfork (sp) big guy? He's a mountain. Good luck on Sunday Phil."

Simply saying thanks would have done the trick for Costa, a second-year center with eight career starts to his credit. Giving Wilfork his props as an All-Pro defensive lineman that you're looking forward to facing? Yeah, that could have worked for Costa.

Instead, he opted for Door No. 3.

Here's his response:

"appreciate it…of course im ready he's more like a speed bump than a mtn…#cowboys are ready to roll!"

As you can imagine, Costa's words made their way back to Wilfork.

"That's fine," Wilfork chuckled, when told of Costa's comments. "I play on Sundays. I'm not a media guy, get it back and forth. I'll be there Sunday. He can tell me that, then. I don't care about all that stuff."
