"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pittsburgh Steelers running back DeAngelo Williams caused a bit of a stir on Monday when he took to Twitter to talk about Peyton Manning\u2019s poor season.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On Tuesday, he defended his comments during an appearance on Mike &amp;amp; Mike.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While Manning\u2019s performance in 2015 was arguably the worst of his career and below average for an NFL starter, the fact that Williams decided to criticize Manning after he announced his retirement drew the ire of many.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Williams acknowledged that Manning\u2019s career as a whole was Hall of Fame worthy, but was quick to tell many that the 39-year-old stunk last season.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;\u2022 NFL rumors: Latest news on teams and players before free agency&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tuesday, Williams said that some of his comments were taken out of context, but that he was standing by them.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CI stand behind all my tweets. If I tweeted it and I said it, I am not apologizing for it,\u201D Williams said.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Manning sat out of six games last season with a torn ligament in his foot, the first time in his 18-year career he did not start all 16 games of the season\u2014with the exception of 2011 when he missed the entire season with a neck injury. He threw for 2,249 yards with nine touchdowns, both career lows.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
