By now you must have heard about the Twitter beef last night between the Redskins DeAngelo Hall and Richard Sherman. If you haven’t, I have done my best to cull the highlights – I may have missed a thing or two.
It was fun. It was very 2014. It was… epic…
Hall and Sherman have locked horns in the past, but here is where it appears to have begun last night…
@RSherman_25 I know you can’t wait for your turn young fella. Stay patience and keep working.

And then further to that…
I can’t lie @RSherman_25 the world wants to see you lock up with guys like @Bigplaycj @DezBryant @ajgreen_18 all game long. I do too!!!!!!
— DeAngelo Hall (@DeAngeloHall23) March 13, 2014
Note the “mention” here of Darrell Green and Deion Sanders – it is significant later on…
@DeAngeloHall23 we all do. Just make sure it’s a rare occurrence ….

@RSherman_25 it’s easy to say that when you covering Ducks on one side of the field. Ask my old sidekick Nnamdi he out the league already.

— Richard Sherman (@RSherman_25) March 14, 2014
Was hall softening here? If you check the times of these tweets, Hall was likely sending the below, while Sherman was firing the above barbs…
@RSherman_25 yeah you right your team is great man. Can’t argue that. @Kam_Chancellor @Earl_Thomas they the Best in the biz.
— DeAngelo Hall (@DeAngeloHall23) March 14, 2014

— Richard Sherman (@RSherman_25) March 14, 2014
Ochocinco comes to save the day!!!
@DeAngeloHall23 @RSherman_25 Both of you are great at what you do, case closed!!!!!
— Chad Johnson (@ochocinco) March 14, 2014
@DeAngeloHall23 so what’s the beef about?
— Richard Sherman (@RSherman_25) March 14, 2014
Ochocinco tries again…
@DeAngeloHall23 @RSherman_25 Y’all get together and steal little nuances from each other’s game and continue to dominate.
— Chad Johnson (@ochocinco) March 14, 2014
@ochocinco @RSherman_25 you win some you lose some. But you get that respect for doing it. And you get that money. I want him to get paid
— DeAngelo Hall (@DeAngeloHall23) March 14, 2014
This was a great day! Thanks for the motivation! Needed it!
— Richard Sherman (@RSherman_25) March 14, 2014
@RSherman_25 no beef at all young fella. I’m a dog you bark at me I’m barking back PERIOD….
— DeAngelo Hall (@DeAngeloHall23) March 14, 2014
Finally, Darrell Green arrives to put out the fire…
@DeAngeloHall23 @RSherman_25 @DeionSanders Let’s start building each other up for a change, our kids need that and deserve that from us!
— Darrell Green (@darrellgreen28) March 14, 2014
Having been “mentioned” early on in the fracas, DG’s appearance wasn’t out of the blue, but it certainly was mildly surprising to those in virtual attendance. And it certainly had an immediate affect…
@darrellgreen28 your are totally right! My mistake… Shouldn’t have continued… Thank you
— Richard Sherman (@RSherman_25) March 14, 2014
In the end, Sherman deleted the tweets later on that night. He left this in it’s place…
To my followers sorry you all had to see that…. But if you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything!
— Richard Sherman (@RSherman_25) March 14, 2014
On a Thursday night in the offseason?
Epic.
