Browns DB Donte Whitner Needs to Leave the Kids Out of His Low Brow Trash Talk

Where in the world would we be without social media? Would we be a world of repressed individuals that could never say what we truly feel without some liquid courage or a gun in our hands? Would we have forgotten the age old art of trash talk?

Maybe, but what it has done is kind of harsh. It's given us a medium to where we can let our inner/outer jack*ss out. Case in point--the Donte Whitner/Janine Talley Twitter fight.

To be fair--neither party represented themselves or the human race very well in that little spat. All the Browns fans that decided to tweet all sorts of expletives at Talley--bad form people. Would you talk to a stranger that way face to face? Most will probably say yes, but we all know the truth.

Anyway....if you are not aware of what went on, Whitner decided it was time to make fun of the Buffalo Bills because there is a chance the team could someday move (Toronto has been mentioned). There was no real rhyme or reason to his tweet or provocation.

He just decided to see if he could get under the skin of Buffalo fans--which he did.

Janine Talley, wife of Bills veteran linebacker Darryl Talley, decided to fire back with an insult directed at Whitner:

@DonteWhitner Your nickname isn't "toast" because of Champagne.

This is where it got bad and where Whitner went somewhere he really shouldn't have:

@J9Talley its because Alex buttered my bread. Correct?!?!?!

Alex is one of the Talley's kids.

Twitter beefs are going to happen. They are just virtual smack talk that is stupid, pointless, and immature. At the same time it is entertaining as hell for the fans and gives bloggers something to talk about during slow news/rumor days like now.

But there is no reason to bring someone's kids in to it. That is just about as low as you can go. Talk about teams, fan bases, friends, sexual prowess, sexual preference, talk about whatever you can think of--but leave the kids out.

Whitner has three kids. I can't help, but wonder how he would have felt if Talley hit below the belt like he did.
