New York Jets head coach Todd Bowles will “have a conversation” with defensive lineman Sheldon Richardson after a pregame Snapchat showed the talented but mercurial defensive lineman telling the camera “f—- this game” before his team’s 34-13 loss to the Miami Dolphins.

Richardson also asked “where the hoes at?” in the short clip, filmed from the Jets’ locker room.

Bowles hadn’t yet seen the Snap in question, but understood it wasn’t a good look for the franchise.

”I was just made aware of it and me and Sheldon will have a conversation very soon,” said the coach. “We don’t condone any of that and we’re going to have a discussion and take care of it.”

When asked whether it was troubling the video was made before the game, Bowles was blunt with his assessment.

“It’s disturbing that it was said at all.”

This isn’t the first time Richardson has landed in the spotlight for his questionable decision making. He was suspended for this year’s season opener after being arrested for street racing — and driving 143 miles per hour — the previous summer.
