Recap: Trent Dilfer Ignites Roddy White, Twitter War of Words

by Dave Cariello on Dec 22, 2010 10:00 AM CST

When Trent Dilfer - the best analyst ESPN's got because of his obvious love for the Saints - went on record saying the Atlanta Falcons were beatable at home and that the Saints would do just that this Monday night, he had no idea that he'd be starting a Twitter war of words not seen since the epic tweet feud of 2010 between Darren Sharper and Visanthe Shiancoe.

In case you missed it, here is exactly what Dilfer said:

Make the jump to get an easy-to-read recap of what followed on Twitter.

Apparently, that didn't sit well with Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Roddy White, because he tweeted this...

No chance in hell the Aints come into the dome and win once trent dilfer

Oh no he didn't just call them that! Then things got personal...

The aints fans are so rude we shall see monday night

Son of a - I know he ain't talkin''bout my momma! Then he kept running his mouth...

Yall fans keep talking making it worst for those guys tht got to guard me cause yall don't lol

But the Saints' Twitter contingent was quick to retaliate. Don't mess with Will Smith, who was first on the scene, 'cause he hits back hard...

Wondering how @roddywhitetv has the audacity to call us AINT'S

Booyah! Take a good, hard look at the bling, Roddy!

Scott Shanle agrees with Will Smith and quickly gives his stamp of approval...

....so true!

Meanwhile Jonathan Goodwin is lovin' all the smack talk...

Just got even more excited for Monday!

Reggie isn't even paying attention...

Do you guys remember when fly swatters were popular? Lol! Everybody had one in there house...

Someone asked Tracy Porter if he had heard what Roddy said...

I've heard about it, but I'm past responding to ignorance. MNF will settle it!

And I personally played the role of instigator with Deuce...

@dmcallister26 You heard what Roddy White said?

@CSCtweet yep. Wht do u expect from a front runner

"Rude"?

Well, I never! Seriously, what kind of loser does it take to be a professional athlete and troll fans? What a freaking jackass. Side bar: “in THERE house”? Seriously, Reggie?

I have a friend that spent time teaching English at a well-known university with a prominent football program that shall remain nameless, and he taught English 90 with a lot of first year football players. He had guys that could not use punctuation and did not know to use verb tenses. And somehow their “Fs” magically turned into “Cs” somewhere between his desk and their transcripts. But, Reggie went to USC, and that’s a pretty good school academically, so again, I will give him the benefit of the doubt.

I prefer a rolled up newspaper to kill flies because it’s more sanitary to just throw it away after you kill the fly than keep that filthy thing around. But newspapers around the country are shutting down, so fly swatters may make a comeback. Maybe I could interest Reggie in some sort of marketing deal…

I stalk them and try and catch them out of mid air with my bare hands.

I agree he’s right about that. Fly swatters are filthy things. You just mashed a disease carrying insect into a small pile of mush and you are going to keep that thing? No, way. Rolled up newspaper. Some jobs call for disposable tools. Send that little six-legged vermin to the great beyond and then toss the paper in the garbage with the little creep’s carcass. No muss, no fuss, no risk that one day you are going to turn around and see your two-year-old playing with it, or – God forbid – putting it in his mouth.

Let the kids go ahead and chew on the fly swatter

Hold On A Second!

I guess you miss the point Reggie was making. He was referring to RW as a fly! RW is a pest and we should use the fly swatter to give it a good smack in the face!

It's hot in here, can I get a beer?!

Fly swatter

If you kill one you can put it in a high traffic area so that other flies are put on notice.

Roddy White is getting the Saints pumped up with this bulletin board material.

Yeah well you were also facing the dumbest OC in the entire league, and they still came within a fumble or so of squeaking by you. This time you’re firing up a team that’s actually any good.

Oh and BTW, I am a Bengals fan too. I’m just a realist. They stink this year. And their OC is a joke, he shouldn’t be the OC for a high school team much less an NFL team.

Can someone please tweet to poor Roddy that he needs to go back to school and learn English.

Seriously….seriously…half of what he says makes no sense. I need a damn interpreter to figure it out.
