Ja'Marr Chase And Devon Witherspoon Need A Lesson In Shit Talking Because Their Instagram Fight Is As Lame As It Gets

Alright, what the hell is this? We're talking about 2 of the best players at their positions - yes, Witherspoon is there already - with some of the lamest shit talking these eyes have seen. Going to Instagram? Using emojis? Hold that L? Pathetic boys, clean it up. This all stemmed from DK Metcalf, of course: 

This is my fear with sports going forward, especially considering I'm an old. Shit talking is going to be a different animal here soon. Gone are the days of going nose to nose with someone just unleashing hell. Gone are the days of Larry Bird telling everyone they are shooting for 2nd. Gone is all the things we grew up loving and repeating. Instead we're getting emojis and Instagram responses. Can't have it unless you are adding fuel to the fire. At least C.J. Johnson-Gardner and Deebo Samuel are talking shit on video to each other via the Internet. 

That said, it's a weird move by the Seahawks to use THAT picture of Witherspoon. I mean, I get it. It's the story, it's Chase, whatever. But you still lost. Sure, Witherspoon won the individual matchup, but you lost the game. He's a defensive back. Let him talk his own shit with whatever that emoji means. At least we're getting some sort of anger in sports again. This is the way it's supposed to be. Everyone isn't supposed to be buddy-buddy and friendly. I prefer when guys on other teams hate each other. I prefer seeing at least shit talking attempts. It's what sports is supposed to be about.
