Channing Crowder uses Broncos teammate to renew his Russell Wilson attacks

Channing Crowder is not done roasting Russell Wilson.

During the Aug. 2 episode of “The Pivot Podcast,” Crowder, who’s a co-host — and a former linebacker for the Dolphins — doubled down on his previous comments when he called the Broncos quarterback “a square” in an April episode of the show.

“I don’t know, you know I’ve been criticized a lot,” said Crowder, who previously said he has no regrets over the comments.

“Called the man lame, called him square… They got on me about that… No I’m not taking it back!… It’s so subjective. It’s an opinion.

“I know dudes that I want to hang with. I grew up in Atlanta and I know guys I wanna hang with. I don’t wanna hang with Russ! ‘Cause he put mousse in his hair, he slick it sideways, he ain’t my type of dude.”

Wilson’s name was brought up when Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II — who, along with his dad, Surtain Sr., was a guest in the episode — spoke about Wilson’s leadership skills and how he is “calm cool and [collected].”

Crowder also trolled Wilson when Surtain said the quarterback plays R&B music at practice.

“I don’t want to be soothed, I’m trying to go out and fight a big motherf–ker trying to hit me in the head,” Crowder said.

Wilson has yet to address Crowder’s comments. The quarterback is preparing to make his debut with the Broncos this fall after the Seahawks traded him to Denver in March.

In an April episode of “The Pivot” podcast, Crowder suggested that Wilson’s wife, Ciara — a Grammy-nominated singer, host and designer — is only with the quarterback for his money.

In a May interview with The Post, Crowder and his co-hosts Ryan Clark and Fred Taylor said the episode nearly didn’t make the cut — calling it a “throw-away episode.”

Crowder later expressed regret over some of his comments about Wilson during an appearance on “The Breakfast Club” in June — but not the one in which he called Wilson “a square.”

“Bringing up Ciara, bringing up the man’s family – I’ll take that back,” Crowder said at the time, noting that his comments were not personal.

“Have ya’ll seen Russell’s videos? Have you seen, ‘Mr. Unlimited’?! And, this goofy s–t he does?! I don’t know why so many people were mad at my opinion of Russell Wilson is a square and a lame. I didn’t call him an alcoholic. I didn’t call him a deadbeat dad. I didn’t call him a pedophile. I called him lame!”
