Vikings receiver Mike Wallace says that comments made by his former teammates Mike Pouncey and Maurkice Pouncey are being wrongly construed.
Wallace, who played with Mike Pouncey on the Dolphins and Maurkice Pouncey on the Steelers, took to Twitter shortly after a video surfaced that appeared to show both Pounceys ripping Wallace. According to Wallace, the video of the Pounceys was taken out of context by CBS 4 in Miami.
“Mike and Maurkice are my lil bros man... Maurkice was speaking on a general situation, not my situation,” Wallace wrote. “Media can do whatever they want!!! But that’s my guys. They both know ME Personally!! No man could ever call me a coward from the biggest to the smallest guy!!’ I have always held my own... I usually don’t get into all of this but that’s my friends that’s the only reason I’m addressing it.”
The short video released by CBS 4 in Miami does not include either Pouncey brother mentioning Wallace by name. Maurkice Pouncey says “he’s a coward,” and Mike Pouncey says “I think it was the right move,” but we’re only going on the word of CBS 4 that Maurkice Pouncey was talking about Wallace and that Mike Pouncey was talking about the Dolphins’ decision to trade Wallace.
It seems awfully unlikely that CBS 4 would take those comments so dramatically out of context, but that’s exactly what Wallace is alleging. CBS 4 says it will air a longer interview with the Pounceys to show exactly what they said.
