Steve Smith gives the perfect response to a Twitter troll

Wide receiver Steve Smith is known for being... "feisty" to say the least. So when an internet troll started talking about the Ravens missing the playoffs, the 36-year old put them right in their place.

With how the Houston Texans played in the first half of the Wild Card round against the Kansas City Chiefs, he was sure to attract some attention from Texans fans when he posted this tweet about the game beforehand.

Smith is one of the biggest competitors in the league and definitely doesn't like missing the playoffs this season or having to rehab an Achilles injury that put him on injured reserve. But his retort to being asked how he likes sitting on his couch is about as perfect as it gets.

Breaking down that he's not on his couch, but comfortable in his favorite chair sets is all up. Then telling the troll about his hand placement is the icing on the cake. There's just nothing you can come back with as the troll, which is exactly how you' like to see it handled.

Smith will have a chance to silence a lot of troll and critics in 2016 as he's decided to not retire and return next season. Before getting injured, he was one of the top wide receivers in the league. His pace of 1531 yards and 7 touchdowns would have put him at third in the league, despite missing a game due to injury in the middle of the year. If he can even come close to replicating that type of production in his final season, he'll get a chance to retire with absolutely no one being able to talk smack at him.
