Ryan Clark and Marcellus Wiley Are In A Cat Fight On Twitter About Ryan Clark's Hypocrisy Over The Josh Allen vs. Lamar Jackson MVP Debate. And Wiley Just Dropped A Diss Track
Didn't think we would see of all people Ryan Clark and Marcellus Wiley slap-fighting on social media. But here we are.
And it appears Ryan Clark is finally giving Josh Allen the respect he’s deserved for a hot minute, which is definitely rich considering the meltdown that led us here.
For years, Clark laid into Josh Allen every time the Bills got bounced from the playoffs- “He’s gotta be better… He needs to step up… He’s gotta beat these top-tier QBs or else...” Blah, blah, blah.
But when Lamar Jackson lost to Allen’s Bills? Suddenly, it was all sunshine, rainbows, and, “This ain’t on you, Lamar!” The hypocrisy was so blatant Marcellus Wiley nearly blew a gasket.
Wiley was quick to point out that Ryan Clark is basically your bitch of a boss who rips on you every chance she can for your missteps, but when her favorite employee and drinking buddy does something even worse, she explains it away.
I'd like to present to the court exhibit A:
Let’s talk about Wiley for a second. This man’s basically turned into the Sherlock Holmes of sports takes, pulling up old footage and tweets faster than your ex rummaging through your phone at 3 AM.
He plastered Clark’s contradictory views side-by-side like it was a “Wanted: Dead or Alive” poster for hypocrisy
Remember when Clark defended Lamar with that paternal pat on the back- “This ain’t on you, 8!”, but hammered Allen after last year’s loss to Kansas City?
Wiley basically said, “Gotcha, buddy!” and called Clark out for race-baiting.
(Something I also did a few weeks ago after hearing Clark make a ridiculous case for Jackson and say Allen didn't even deserve to be in the conversation.)

Here's what my argument for Allen in the debate boils down to- who is more "valuable" to their team and their team achieving success.
OBVIOUSLY, Lamar Jackson is a freak of nature, and one of the most electrifying quarterbacks in the history of the game. But in terms of this particular season, Josh Allen is doing much more, with far, far, less than Jackson is.
Baltimore has 9 fucking pro-bowlers on this year's squad. Besides Allen, the only other Bill worthy of that "honor" is tackle Dion Dawkins.
Allen is turning journeyman receiver Mack Hollins and Khalil Shakir into household names.
He has literally put his team on his back, and carried them to within one game of the Super Bowl. And he beat Jackson's team last week when it mattered.
(And he's done it all in spite of having one of the worst head coaches in football)
If that's not worthy of MVP I'm not sure what is.
I'm clearly not the only person to make that argument or see it that way, so Clark, naturally, spun the conversation to each of the quarterback's playoff "shortcomings".
What are we exactly talking about here Ryan? One thing that's certain is that he doesn't let facts get in the way of forming his opinion. That's for sure. because Allen has 23 passing TDs and 4 INTs in his playoff career versus Jackson's 8 passing TDs and 6 INTs in his.
But back to Marcellus Wiley.
He’s convinced Clark only coddles Lamar because he’s a Black quarterback and doesn't extend that same kindness to Josh Allen (who’s, well, not).
And by the looks of those polar-opposite reactions, it’s kinda hard to ignore the possibility.
So they did what all grown men do in 2025 and took things to the mat. Just kidding, they're acting like they’re starring in a low-budget teen drama having a cat fight on twitter.

Allow me to butt in here, but I feel like this is a bitch move by Wiley.
I am far from a Ryan Clark fan, (he was one of the dirtiest players in the league when he played for Pittsburgh, and admittedly has done a better job carrying himself since he's retired, but the shit he says on a regular basis on ESPN comes across like he thinks he was Ed Reed or Ronnie Lott.
That said- when a man calls you to discuss a disagreement, you pick up the phone.
You don't ignore it and continue to talk shit on social media for the world to see and chime in on. That's bullshit Wiley.

That's coward shit.
Wiley then followed it all up with a "diss track".
No seriously.
Luckily for everybody involved, Wiley assured us he'll keep it on wax, saying "the beef will stay peaceful". He promises.
If you're confused, the story up to this point is, we’ve got two ex-NFLers flexing their digital muscles, threatening showdowns that’ll never happen. It’s the same story every time: “Man, say that to my face!” “Bro, I did, and you were quiet!” Yada, yada, yada.
They’re calling each other out, posting “gotcha!” pictures, bragging about who’s phone-calling whom, and who’s too scared to talk. Grown men bickering online like a couple of middle schoolers who discovered sarcasm for the first time. It’s beyond cringe.
But this is where we're at nowadays with sports media.
Thanks to ESPN, (and Barstool to be honest), sports media personalities have inserted themselves into the conversation of basically every facet of the games and sports they cover, that they are now apart of these ridiculous ancillary side stories. It's fucking insanity.

Accusing somebody of being racist is a pretty bold thing to do. Even today. It's a serious allegation. Wiley’s not mincing words. He claims that Clark’s stance on Lamar vs. Allen reveals a double standard. But Wiley’s pointing out the pattern: Allen loses, it’s “Dude better figure this out.” Lamar loses, it’s “Aww, you fought so hard, sweetheart!”
Clark’s trying to spin it that he’s just supporting Lamar because he’s unique, blah, blah, blah. But once you see how his tune magically changed regarding Josh Allen this week- right when everyone’s side-eyeing him- you can’t blame Wiley for feeling some type of way.
Do I agree? Not necessarily. I think there's a difference between defending and rooting for one of "your own" and being a "racist" person. For example, I would legitimately jump in front of a runaway locomotive to protect Dan Marino at all costs.
Maybe Clark finally realized that bashing Josh Allen wasn’t aging well. The man has turned the ball over fewer times than I’ve misread a clock in the morning. Allen’s running circles around defenses, calmly leading the Bills back to the AFC title game. And He finally changed his tune yesterday on Inside The NFL
Good on Ryan Clark for finally giving Josh Allen the credit he deserves. The man’s an All-Pro gunslinger who’s come a long way. That’s undeniable. And if Allen leads the Bills to a Super Bowl, I’ll be the first to check back in and see how Clark spins it.
—- UPDATE ——-
Wiley is a savage.
