Ringer CEO and diehard Boston sports fan Bill Simmons threw some shade Tua Tagovailoa‘s way after the Patriots trade for Dolphins wideout DeVante Parker.
As Simmons welcomed Parker to New England, he made sure to take a not-so thinly veiled shot at Miami’s young QB.
“[DeVante Parker] welcome to New England!!!” Simmons tweeted. “Let’s take it slow as you get used to the startling experience of having your QB hit you in stride when you’re open.”
