Chicago Bears Teammates Beef On Twitter Over Unfollowing

In many ways, the Chicago Bears offseason mirrors the actual season. Confusion, hostility, and a certain train-wreck quality surround the franchise. But now Instead of a Jay Cutler turnover, or Marc Trestman's serial killer flat affect, teammates Kyle Long and Martellus Bennett are getting testy with each other on Twitter.

The main beef, as best I can gather, is that Bennett unfollowed Long and Long felt slighted.

@Ky1eLong why are you worried about who is following you on twitter? More important shit is happening in my world than Kyle Long's tweets

@Ky1eLong I don't need this form of social currency maybe you do. If a follow from me is going to make you feel wealthier socially, then

Apparently Kyle Long takes Twitter extremely seriously, and regards an unfollow as something approaching the level of a declaration of war. Your deeds, Mr. Prime Minister, have given us no other choice but to reciprocate your act. Kyle Long is a statesman, Martellus Bennett sank the Lusitania, and this conflict has only just begun.

More puzzling still, Bennett is responding to a days-old tweet. And he's still going in.

@Ky1eLong u need to get out more. I prefer our day to day interactions in person. But that's just me. You have my number. Stop the bullshit

These guys play on the same line! For the Bears, remember, who seem to be incapable of getting out of their own way. But, hey, Ryan Pace was a good hire. That's something positive, I suppose?

I hope you all a day full of adventure and discovery. Be blessed.

Twitter is so damned weird sometimes.
