Twitter is a wonderful online forum for professional athletes to reach the public and remove any kind of filter when it comes to the message they want to spread, its also a very dangerous environment where they can do damage to themselves. Thats just what happened to Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Bernard Berrian, who engaged in some back-and-forth with followers on Sunday night and eventually told one fan to sit down n shut up!! It wasnt just any fan, though, it was John Kriesel, a Minnesota state representative who is a double amputee and an Iraq war veteran and Berrian is supposed to hold a press conference of sorts in the Vikings locker room this afternoon in an effort to clear up this mess. It all started Sunday night after the Vikings fell to 0-4 with a 22-17 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, Berrian has two catches for 37 yards on the season and said thats not a reflection of how open hes been. When Kriesel challenged him on Twitter, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, thats when things took a turn for the worse, Berrian wrote on his account @B_Twice: @johnkriesel Anytime u wanna watch the film with me. Not just one game but all of them. And if not sit down n shut up!!
