Eli Apple was having the time of his life on Twitter two weeks ago. Now the shoe is on the other foot. The Cincinnati Bengals cornerback was one of the heroes of the AFC championship game with his huge tackle of Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill at the goal line at the end of the first half, a vital play in what would turn out to be a 27-24 overtime win.
He made sure to let them hear about it after the game, calling Hill a “baby” while tagging him on a quote tweet of the play and offering Super Bowl tickets to Hill and his teammate Mecole Hardman.
Fast forward two weeks, and Apple was no longer enjoying himself. Cooper Kupp and even Odell before he got hurt put him in their torture chamber. He has been blasted ever since.
One Maryland restaurant is now poking even more fun with Apple when Jimmy’s Famous Seafood added a special Eli Apple item to their menu.
If there’s a lesson to be learned in all this, it’s probably to wait until you win the Super Bowl, not reach it, before you start going for the jugular on social media.
