Super Bowl champion Wade Phillips trolls Cam Newton on Twitter
Denver Broncos defensive coordaintor Wade Phillips' Twitter feed has seen him take a few good-natured jabs this season, mostly at opponents; hey, if you went from unemployed to coach of one of the most dominant defenses in recent NFL history, you might be inclined to a little gloating too.

On Monday morning, after Phillips and the Broncos' defense battered Carolina Panthers' quarterback Cam Newton in Super Bowl 50, the coach had one last jab, this one intended for Newton:
A little Dab with do you but too much Dab will undo you!
— Wade Phillips (@sonofbum) February 8, 2016
Phillips has a little error in the tweet - it should read "a little Dab will do you", a nod to the classic Brylcreem hair cream slogan from the 1950s - but he certainly made his point.
Denver coach Gary Kubiak, appearing at the day-after press conference on Monday morning, was asked about Phillips' tweet. Smiling, Kubiak said, "Wade gets carried away with that Twitter sometimes."
