Jason Kelce, Steve Weatherford Exchange Words On Twitter
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Jason Kelce is not afraid to defend his brothers.
After New York Giants punter Steve Weatherford publicly made controversial comments about the Eagles' quarterbacks and head coach Chip Kelly over the weekend, Kelce responded via Twitter on Monday:
"@Jkelce: Of course a player who is literally not allowed to be touched is talking [expletive]... Is interviewing punters a thing now? @Weatherford5."
Weatheford, who said on WFAN that he wouldn't want Tim Tebow "taking snaps" for his team, compared Sam Bradford and Mark Sanchez to cars, and said Chip Kelly has "enough slack to hang himself," quickly defended his comments on Twitter.

While Weatherford may have a point, Eagles fans won't care. Making fun of your own family is fine, but when someone else does it, that's another story.
