Suggs, the former Arizona State Sun Devil, appeared on ESPN's First Take, which has seemingly become a vehicle for the debate-style ramblings of panelist Skip Bayless.
While being interviewed over the telephone, Bayless appears to interrupt Suggs by intimating that the Patriots may have received preferential treatment from the officiating crew during New England's 23-20 AFC-clinching win.
Suggs would have nothing of it.
"No, I'm not saying that," Suggs responded. "And Skip, stop that. I know what you're doing."
Suggs then continued to warn Bayless about not being genuine with what guests are trying to say. "You get away with misinterpretations and putting words in people's mouths," Suggs said. "I'm not going to let you get away with it this time."
Suggs has been a frequent guest of First Take and has mixed it up with Bayless before, but the reaction to Suggs' name-calling of Bayless immediately became the talk of the day on Twitter.
