he deleted this almost immediately but i was cracking up. Also this guy had been talking shit for almost a whole week so it was somewhat deserved even though it only lasted about 2 minutes.
I love reading your posts because you always come with your own personal perspective, I know what you're saying is what you feel and not you being a sheep. And you do a great job of not being a hypocrite.
But sometimes you come off as living in a dream world or just hoping that the real world was like your ideal dream world of no-nonsense old school values. Times have changed, social media is a thing. Dean Martin isn't walking through that door. Deal with it.
RE: If you don't want people saying shit about your wife,
I've got no complaint with Weatherford beyond, " unless you're breaking news Twitter is lame.".
Fuck the Eagles fan and his chick. Don't put your shit out there if you can't take it.
Geez, if you actually didn't take the contrarian view one time I might spontaneously shit my pants out of pure shock. Call it whatever you like, but wives and children are out of bounds in my book. It' definitely taking the low road. The really low road. The Eagles fan is an obnoxious dumbass to be sure, that should be an easy enough target if Weatherford has no issue with stooping to this clowns level. Leave the wife out of it. Better yet, just ignore the idiot and don't look like a petty jerk.
On a side note, I do agree with everything you said about Twitter.
Lawrence Tynes @lt4kicks 4h4 hours ago
Would someone let the @Eagles players know that Yes they do in fact interview punters @Weatherford5. Punters who have rangs!! #interviewthis
but what does Weatherford gain by this? I'm not personally offended, and I'm sure she's a classy broad if she's married to that guy, but totally unnecessary. Especially for a guy who is pining for a career in media after he hangs 'em up.
That said, he does far more positive than negative..Far more..
Electronics in todays world rocks..I'm typing this on my mini iPad retina which is awesome..The trade off is that One can't leave their house without the prospect of being on twitter and/or youtube for all the world to see..

The thing is I have accepted social media for what it is and I'm suggesting that this ham 'n egger Eagle fan needs to do the same if he feels aggrieved. If he wants to put pictures of his family online and then use that same forum to hound someone he should be ready to deal with the consequences and accept that that is part of having your shit out there on Twitter.

The asshole here is the Eagle fan.
I hate the Eagles more than any other team. But when you get paid to play in front of millions of fans and open yourself up to social media banter; I think you could be a bit more responsible than making a crude insult about a man's wife, who by the way had nothing to do with her husband's immaturity. Weatherford made some controversial remarks about the Eagles, live with the small consequences of Eagles fans giving it to you. Post a Instagram of your ring, or of the empty trophy case. Do not make fun of the man's wife
Essex's comment caught my eye though because I disagree that getting paid millions and being on TV on Sundays or whatever, imparts anything more on you than anyone else. I say that because with all these critical comments here, I've seen equally distasteful stuff from all of us at one time or another. From that perspective, some of the criticism seems excessive.
Sounds like George's comeback to being called the number 1 customer at the jerk store
I thought "jerk store" was the comeback?
jerk store was the comeback to the shrimp in the ocean.
You're their all time best seller was the comeback to jerk store.
I slept with your wife was George's comeback to that.
This shit will blow over. No one will remember this beyond Weatherford having made a dumb comment...and I'm sure he's learned what not to do with how fast he deleted his tweet.

I didn't say the amount of money is the determinative factor, I said someone who gets paid to play in front of "millions of fans" needs to have thicker skin, when he gets a little back and forth from an idiot fan. It is not the amount of money he gets paid, it is the business he is in. It is the entertainment business and it seems he has lots of fun doing the "entertainment" part and should be able to handle this without resorting to an attack on someone's wife.

Still don't think the standard to which we hold him is different than the one to which we should also aspire.
by Weatherford. Not a big fan of a punter who loves to run his mouth.
How about a QB or WR or DE or any other position?
I liked it when Jacobs/Plax/Strahan talked trash. Just seems odd coming from a punter.
To be clear though, the comment from Weatherford would be low rent regardless of what position the guy who said it played for. Stuff like this makes Weatherford a hard guy to root for.
organization will get involved in this BS with players on twitter very shortly. Starting to het out of hand and reflect on the image when some get carried away.

I doubt it. I bet the players union won't let them as Twitter is an income stream for these guys
personal attack on someone then guess what - everything becomes free game. I'm not sympathetic to that guy or his wife, and I don't think simply being a wealthy professional athlete means that you have to sit there and take shit from anyone.

Everything is fair game if you are a classless loser. Apparently that's what Weatherford is, which is disappointing.
Fuckin Bullshit sports culture we're immersed in. It's all garbage.
This shit ain't sports. It's Glee.
What loser even follow athletes on Twitter?
I do...
Why?
Some are funny, some post interesting articles (particularly ex-players). I don't follow Weatherford because he posts nothing relevant. It takes two seconds to follow a guy and unless there's a reason to unfollow (like Weatherford, who I felt tweeted nonstop), I continue following. So, basically the reasons aren't good, admittedly.
"You know, George, the ocean called. They're running out of shrimp."
"Oh yeah, Riley? Well, the jerk store called. They're running out of you!"
"What's the difference? You're their all-time best seller."
"Well I slept with your wife!"
"You know, George, the ocean called. They're running out of shrimp."
"Oh yeah, Riley? Well, the jerk store called. They're running out of you!"
"What's the difference? You're their all-time best seller."
"Well I slept with your wife!"
we certainly don't need another Feagles incident getting our punter blinsided on a punt return?! I know this rivalry doesn't need fuel, however the GIants better bring it this year. Last year's shutout on National TV was an abomination and embarrasment, the players should just shut up and, as TC says, let their play on the field speak for you!
I've never used twatter as I think it's lame, but this whole "fans are fans and athletes should know better it bullshit. Don't be a jackass and don't harass people. Simple as that.

Eagles fan just looks like a a stupid Eagles fan. Nothing to see here. Move along.

Me? I'd rather go out and play stickball...

On the flip side, when he's out of football, I think we might be looking at the next great sports broadcaster.

The real problem was pointed out above: he has ranged from poor-to-mediocre the last 3 years. He probsbly doesnt have the rope he thinks
Couldn't disagree more.

This. You're a punter - SFU and punt. He's becoming way too high-profile for an average punter.
I expect this shit from the Eagles' punter, not ours. Classless comment. Bring back Matt Dodge....OK,no, I take that back. Bring back Feagles.
