The Pittsburgh Maulers of the USFL reportedly made the decision to cut former Michigan Wolverines running back De’Veon Smith because, if you can believe it, he’d rather eat pizza than chicken salad.
The team would release a statement saying that the video footage of him being cut was taken out of context and that he’d broken team rules prior. However, Smith immediately took to Twitter to call out his former team, followed by several more tweets.
What rules did I break? Now your lying on my name????? Say less https://t.co/NsfnidUZoe

I was never made aware that I violated any team rules, let alone 3 in a 24hr span. I never disrespected anyone. Coach Kirby and I spoke after being released. In that talk, he said that he’d certainly vouch for my character.
