The trash talk between Olympic legend Usain Bolt and Kansas City Chiefs star Tyreek Hill is heating up.
Last month, Bolt mocked Hill for thinking he can run faster than him, while Hill called out the eight-time gold medalist to “stop hiding,”
On Thursday, Bolt appeared on “The Dan Patrick Show” where the host suggested they run a 70-yard race — a compromise between Bolt’s 100 meters and Hill’s 40-yard dash — and that Bolt puts up a gold medal and Hill puts up a Super Bowl ring to make things interesting.
“That would be big,” Bolt said. “I don’t think he’s going to go for it. …We should put some thought into that one. I’ve said it to him. I’ve texted him. You keep talking I might just show up.”

Hill responded on Twitter, “someone give him some attention.”
If they were to follow through on Patrick’s idea, Hill may be a little more reluctant to put his lone Super Bowl ring up while Bolt has eight gold medals to spare.
Bolt, who turns 35 later this month, retired from competitive running after the 2017 World Championships. He said he would need some time to get in shape to take on the tk-year-old Hill.
“I still don’t think he can take me in 40,” Bolt said. “If I can get in shape, I’ve proved already if I can really warm up and get ready to go I can run fast.”
If these two keep talking about a race at some point we’re going to need someone to make it happen.
