AJ Brown fires back at JuJu Smith-Schuster for Valentine's Day meme trolling James Bradberry
Philadelphia Eagles star receiver A.J. Brown fired back at Kansas City Chiefs wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster for his mocking Valentine’s Day graphic on Twitter. Smith-Schuster shared picture of Eagles corner James Bradberry over a red background with hearts.
It read “I’ll hold you when it matters most.” Bradberry, of course, committed the now infamous hold late in the Super Bowl on Sunday that effectively sealed a victory for the Chiefs.
Brown took affront to Smith-Schuster twisting the knife, saying quarterback Patrick Mahomes is the reason Smith-Schuster is even in a position to talk smack.
“First off congratulations. Y’all deserve it .This is lame. You was on the way out the league before Mahomes resurrected your career on your 1 year deal Tik-Tok boy. He admitted that he grabbed you but don’t act like your like that or ever was. But congratulations again!” Brown said in a quote tweet.
Safe to say Smith-Schuster isn’t getting added to the Brown family holiday card list after this episode.
JuJu Smith-Schuster trolls Eagles CB James Bradberry with hilarious Valentine’s Day post
Athlete-themed Valentine’s Day cards have become an annual tradition across social media on February 14, as teams across different sports use different plays on words to spread love. We’ve seen plenty of great graphics throughout recent history on V-Day, but his year, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster may have taken the cake for the best.
Smith-Schuster tweeted a card that will hit home far too well for Philadelphia Eagles fans, posting a picture that referenced the questionable holding penalty from the Chiefs Super Bowl victory on Sunday. In the fourth quarter with less than two minutes remaining in the game, a controversial defensive holding penalty was called on Eagles’ cornerback James Bradberry on a pass attempt to Smith-Schuster, which shifted the game in favor of the Chiefs and led to their 38-35 victory.
Smith-Schuster captioned his tweet “Happy Valentine’s Day everybody” followed by a red heart emoji and picture of Bradberry saying, “I’ll hold you when it matters most”.
The tweet may not be received as lovingly by Bradberry and Eagles’ fans, but nonetheless provided a hilarious moment in the sports world on the day of love. Smith-Schuster ended Super Bowl LVII with seven catches for 53 yards, winning a ring in his first season in Kansas City after spending the last five seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
