The Finger Wag - Athletes using Twitter and Social Media to their Disadvantage » Vernon Davis http://thefingerwag.thesquandernetwork.com The Only Sports Blog on the Internet Thu, 24 Jun 2010 03:21:37 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 Darnell Dockett (@ddockett) and Vernon Davis (@VernonDavis85) Trade some Off-Season Barbs http://thefingerwag.thesquandernetwork.com/2010/05/12/darnell-dockett-ddockett-and-vernon-davis-vernondavis85-trade-some-off-season-barbs/ http://thefingerwag.thesquandernetwork.com/2010/05/12/darnell-dockett-ddockett-and-vernon-davis-vernondavis85-trade-some-off-season-barbs/#comments Wed, 12 May 2010 17:14:24 +0000 ScottiePP7 http://www.thefingerwag.com/2010/05/12/darnell-dockett-ddockett-and-vernon-davis-vernondavis85-trade-some-off-season-barbs/ Vernon Davis, star tight end for the San Franciso 49ers tweeted a story yesterday from a flight he was on. It was rather boring with a couple funny points here and there about a fat guy next to him eating a burger with the cheese dripping all over the guy. He then told his followers about how he slept the whole flight. It was the usual mindless drivel twitter is known for. Then things turned a bit.

RT @VernonDavis85: I slept the whole way it's so beautiful this morning<- did u think about #24 and u know what #24 I'm talking bout!!!

#24 for the Arizona Cardinlas is the 3 time Pro-Bowl safety Adrian Wilson. From here the smack-talk battle continued:

RT @VernonDavis85: @ddockett last time I checked I was standing over top of #24 with a football stuck to my glove TD! <- Its on I can't WAIT

@VernonDavis85 u better pack a big ass lunch! U think adubb almost killed u last year, u aint seen shhh! U just wait ohhh u just wait buddy!

ESPN picked up on this story and naturally Dockett decided it was time to continue.

RT @antoniosmith94: @ddockett hold on now I remember #24 Laid that SLAP STICK on #85 more than once and got fined for 1 of em!<- LOL me too

well bro? @ddockett RT @burningdownSM: @VernonDavis85 ask ddockett where he was when gore avg 115yds & had 3 TDs against the cards last year

@burningdownSM ok ask @VernonDavis85 where he was at week 18?- Oh that's right he was home watching the cardinals in tha playoffs!

RT @Ando83: @ddockett @VernonDavis85 Hey Dockett how many Lombardi trophies you got? <-- just as many as Vernon Davis got!!

And the final cutting blow that I am sure my friends who are fans of the 49ers hear all the time:

49er fans keep talking bout the old championships they have lol I wasn't even in the NFL then. How pitaful stop talking bout the old baby!

Then he just gets mean:

RT @MosFuriousD @ddockett let's talk abt how @VernonDavis85 has failed 2 live up 2 expectations until his 1solid season last year<--- o_O

As someone who owned Vernon Davis on fantasy team last year I have to disagree.

Thanks to The ExBeerience for the story.

came in today a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes for men. Yes! about to wear them right now. What y'all think? http://twitpic.com/1gvqyc

Doesn’t seem that interesting, does it? I bet you didn’t even click through to that twitpic. Big mistake.

Holy shit those are bad ass shoes! Totally twitpicable.

If you’re anywhere near my age demographic, you immediately think of one person wearing those shoes.

Got a meeting, then im going to catch a few balls and get a massage

When your coach is famous for dropping his pants to motivate players, I’m going to suggest using the phrase “catch a few passes” instead.
